Verse 1
i thought i had it all figured out, i did, i thought i was tough enough to stick it out with kim/but i wasn't tough enough, to juggle two things at once, i found myself layin' on my knees in cuffs/which should've been a reason enough, for me to get my stuff and just leave. how come i couldn't see this shit myself?/it's just me, nobody couldn't see the shit i felt, knowin' damn well she wasn't gonna be there when i fell/to catch me, the minute shit was heated, she just bailed, i'm standin' here swingin' like thirty people by myself/i couldn't even see the millimeter when it fell, turned around saw gary stashin' the heater in his belt/saw the bouncers rush him and beat him to the ground, i just sold two million records, i don't need to go to jail/i'm not about to lose my freedom over no female, i need to slow down, get my feet on solid ground/so for now i'm...

Verse 2
i, bury my face in comic books, cus i don't want to look at nothin', this world's too much, i've swallowed all i could/if i could swallow a bottle of tylenol i would, and end it for good, just say goodbye to hollywood/i probably should, these problems are piling all at once, cus everything that bothers me, i got it bottled up/i think i'm bottomin' out, but i'm not about to give up, i gotta get up, thank god, i got a little girl/and i'm a responsible father, so not a lot of good, i'd be to my daughter, layin' in the bottom of the mud/must be in my blood cus i don't know how i do it, all i know is i don't want to follow in the footsteps/of my dad, cus i hate him so bad, the worst fear that i had was growin' up to be like his fuckin' ass/man if you could understand why i am the way that i am, what do i say to my fans/when i tell 'em (i'm)...

Verse 3
i don't wanna quit, but shit, i feel like this is it, for me to have this much appeal like this is sick/this is not a game, this fame, in real life this is sick, publicity stunt my ass, conceal my fuckin' dick/fuck the guns, i'm done, i'll never look at gats, if i scrap, i'll scrap like i ain't never whupped some ass/i love my fans, but no one ever puts a grasp on the fact, i've sacrificed everything i have/i never dreamt i'd get to the level that i'm at, this is wack, this is more than i ever coulda asked/everywhere i go, a hat, a sweater hood, or mask, what about math, how come i wasn't ever good at that?/it's like the boy in the bubble, who never could adapt, i'm trapped, if i could go back, i never woulda rapped/i sold my soul to the devil, i'll never get it back, i just wanna leave this game with level head intact/imagine goin' from bein' a no one to seein', everything blow up and all you did was just grow up mcing/it's fuckin' crazy, cus all i wanted was to give hailie the life i never had, but instead i forced us to live alienated/so i'm sayin'...
