Ooh you feel that as I take you to them dirt roads

Deep down in your southern roots

When nobody said life was going to be easy

And we travel through this emotional roller coaster called life

And we have our ups and downs

Just keep in mind when you hit rock bottom

There ain't nowhere to go but up baby

It's just all you about how you deal wit it you feel me

Listen here



When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus

Empty beer bottles and roaches

Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed

And all I here is "Fuck da world"



When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus

Empty beer bottles and roaches

Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed

And all I here is "Fuck da world"



Man ever since life's been a gamble

My life been in shambles

Double edge sword burnin' both sides of the candle

But Cris you can't handle the truth



Don't wanna face reality

So Lord accept my apology

Please like when police say freeze

And I ain't do shit



But I'm down on my knees

It's a crooked system but gin straight take the pain away

I charge the game

And put my problems on lay away



A black man but I feel so blue

So I smoke green and purple 'til my dreams come true

Then my eyes turn red, the sky turns gray

Children slangin' white in the hood, we call it yeah



Drink old gold, down my yellow brick road

Then rewrite my script until my story's untold

See I got a little money and my life sped up

Now I'm fallin' and I can't get up



When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus

Empty beer bottles and roaches

Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed

And all I here is "Fuck da world"



When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus

Empty beer bottles and roaches

Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed

And all I here is "Fuck da world"



I had this dream about a dope fiene

And it's strange cause he can barely write or read

But seemed to get folks about anything

Curious about him I wanted to talk to him

But he was to busy for that

But I was more then welcome to walk with him



So as we walked, he talked and I just listen

He said, "There's a big difference between crackas and niggas"

See he said, "White folks look out for the white folks"

But uh black folks blame otha black folks



When they ain't enough black roaks

But yo to make a long story short

We need pay more attention and do things

That's way more convincing and he told me



You know I wouldn't say something that wouldn't work and I

Damn sure wouldn't waste my time telling something that a hurt you

But you would fall for anything if you don't stand for something

But that's for certain but niggas don't be listenin'



And that shit be hurting and uh

Not all of us, but some of us

And if we don't hurry up

They going to bury each and every one of us



When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus

Empty beer bottles and roaches

Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed

And all I here is "Fuck da world"



When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus

Empty beer bottles and roaches

Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed

And all I here is "Fuck da world"



Sometimes I can't deal with my daily issues just being sober

Life's a bitch and I can't control her

I wish I could and sometimes to cry on we need a shoulder

The government stand us up to run us over



And in the hood they don't seem to understand, goddamn

What it's really got me wondering if it's a part of a bigger plan

Man I smell something fishy going on

And its way beyond blowin' away the smoke

From all these swishers goin' on



It ain't much I can do about it but preach the word

Tell my people to spend ya money wisely

Don't be obscured by some things that's appreciated

Like a home to open ya eyes to what's the fuck's goings on



'Cause they constantly getting rid of us

One by one whether it's drugs or disease or gun by gun

I ain't no saint either I feel that I'm even doing wrong

By using what's in this chorus to get through this song



When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus

Empty beer bottles and roaches

Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed

And all I here is "Fuck da world"



When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus

Empty beer bottles and roaches

Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed

And all I here is "Fuck da world"



You kno' ya'll going to mess around and keep on complaining bout slavery

That was over 40-50 years ago black folks need to move on stay strong

Ya'll keep playin' with a cracker, they going to have yo ass tied up

Wired up on them back roads of South Florida Georgia

And they made them laws, so they can't do nothing for you

Can a church get an Amen? And God for the thugs too Amen
