With all the fringe benefits, ignorance is bliss
They gave the dirty apparently appropriate name
Spoke with my spirit and mind my ambition was blind
Even though I know talking intelligent just ain't in
But you getting rich talkin' shit so why shouldn't I
I'm just playing but I guess that couldn't go without saying
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on
I'd ever stop now, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin'
I keep my feet on the ground and bring the sky to ya
That obviously cost to wear but considerably less
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on
Now I have another loss to spare I doubt 'em say that I can't win
So me and J J both gon' have to pay bills
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on
The fact wasn't something too fly it was something to blame
You most likely to go broke when you just can't bend
Using words I could scream an alternative to equate me
I wrote about a revolution and sung from the soul
I'm just gon' ride this revolution until they stop me where I'm stayin'
See there's no way and there's no how
Before we came being in southern wasn't something to claim
Which is true I'm in a box with a view would you still wanna date me?
The final cross to bear is mine it's not a cross to share
Now I'm under oath with them both and I couldn't lie
See I've been having a hard time selling my album's lately
There is a time and the place for everybody's taste
So here it is, an invitation to an open book
So sincere my eyes begin to swell up in tear
Thought if I died for ya, that would be an honorable death
And we respect everything that you trying to do 'lo
Smilin' and juckin' and jivin' I was so ashamed
Than the price that it costs to care
See there's no way and there's no how
But I'mma keep on, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin'
But I know too much and I owe too much
A painful past my heart is still broken look
But I'mma keep on, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin'
Cussed 'em said that I'm too dope and I couldn't fly
To get put back in that old mood they say, we like the new 'lo
But you can't break the mold and not holding your breath
And it's clear my music may not do well up in here
Answering the call of God like a child obeying
In recent news the source couldn't find any microphones to rate me
But I ain't gotta have to lie to ya to make it sound fly to ya
I could be a pretty good thug but it wouldn't compare to a great me
And sometimes I get weak from walking the road I'm on
I know you don't hate me it's not assured that anyone appreciate me
See there's no way and there's no how
I'd ever stop now, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin'
But isn't it ironic I still woulda bought a cross to wear
Do what you do but just do more that you know
It's a catch 22 and I couldn't cry
Preaching the very same power they killed Martin for saying
Oh my God being a nigger must be a good payin' job
But I'mma keep on, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin'
I'd ever stop now, I'mma die tryin', I'mma die tryin'
Listen, people still standin' in line at the world party for some soul food
