[Intro: D Miller]
La-da-da-da
La-da-da-da
Yeah, yeah
La-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da
[Hook:]
Tell me how you maintain when the stress is tryna get’cha
Tell me how you maintain when nobody wanna listen
Tell me how you maintain when it’s the world on ya shoulders
Tell me how I’m s’posed to live the government all control us
[Verse 1: D Miller]
See I ain’t prayed in a minute
Feels like I’m missing my blessings
The thought of how I’m gone make it
It got me constantly stressing
See I’ve been down for so long
I don’t know when I’m a get up
And I been fighting these demons
Hennessy got me liquored up
Drowning away (way-way)
I mix my thoughts with emotions
It’s hella pain (hella pain)
Ready to work for what’s mine
And I’m running late
No time to waste
No complications
Face it, ain’t nobody got time for the basics
Save it
I just got my words
And I will break it
I will bite the hand that feeds me
Better believe me
This here too easy
And I won’t stop
They pray that I’m gone stop
Miller be killing flows
And they pray that my bones rot
Won’t happen
Fill the wrists with a pen and pad, and start snapping
That’s a body, that’s a homi
Any nigga that wanna get it, then come and try me
The road blocks and bullet shots, they won’t stop me
All I need is a vacay, they won’t find me. (Find me, find me)
(Yeah) The road blocks and bullets shots, they won’t stop me
And all I need is a vacay, they won’t find me
(La-da-da-da)
[Hook:]
Tell me how you maintain when the stress is tryna get’cha
Tell me how you maintain when nobody wanna listen
Tell me how you maintain when it’s the world on ya shoulders
Tell me how I’m s’posed to live the government all control us
[Verse 2: Skyy Will]
(Yeah)
Growing up as a kid
I always wanted to rain hell
From right where the pain dwells
Nothing but empty case shells
Spark up a 40, the blood that it leaves, illustrates my pain well
You think I’m insane ?
Well, I’m just a P.O.M.E
Will I ever change ?
I guess only time will tell
Some say I’m hard as hell
Some say I’m soft as gel
Some say we blessed with this Earth
But I say, we blessed with this living hell
It’s hard to keep living here
I write with the pain of a family that’s torn by the system yeah
No wonder we’re killers here
No wonder they wonder if we want revenge from them
It’s no wonder we sick as hell
My flow like a fishing pail
Casting out lines full of bait, if you bite, I’m a feed you well
These lyrics like show and tell
I aim to reveal all the secrets they kept hid away for years
We no longer will live in fear
Just lend me ya naked ear
Together’s the only way we’re gonna be winners here
Nothing but sinners here
But, a King, I will not be beat
I will slaughter all enemies
God prepareth a feast
Said “Skyy won’t you let Simwi eat ?!”
Kuz police been toe taggin’ ya family in these streets
Asked the Lord why our minds are weak
We’ve been blinded by violence and evil is at a peak
Speak my piece upon every beat
Tryna hide it, but this pile of shit has begun to reek
Twiddle dumb leading twiddle dee
Simwi a killer, why the fuck would they tempt the beast
I see Babylon in these streets
And unless we make changes my people will face defeat
Ain’t no time to say Rest In Peace
Kuz the number of bodies is piling up in the streets
State of mind, is “NOT of the weak”
LaSmoove, oh my God, Black Jesus’ back for the sheep
(La-da-da-da, La-da-da-da)
[Hook:]
Tell me how you maintain when the stress is tryna get’cha
Tell me how you maintain when nobody wanna listen
Tell me how you maintain when it’s the world on ya shoulders
Tell me how I’m s’posed to live the government all control us
[Outro: D Miller]
See all these bullet shots
All these bullet shots
All these bullet shots
These bullet shots
All these bullet shots
All these bullet
They can’t take my soul
No they can’t take it (no they won’t take it)
No they can’t take my soul
No they can’t take it (nah nah man they won’t take it)
These niggas here for bitches and gold, and I can’t take it
I’m tryna build my family a home
Yeah we gone make it
Yeah we gone make it
