There's no way you can be
Happy when you love like a sad
There's no way you can be

I hope you get me what I'm saying
There's no way you can be
Happy when you love like a sad

There's no way you can be
I hope you get me what I'm saying


We all got problems
But what could we do
My son telling me he hungry

I told him 'Me too'
I know these streets cold
So I breathe through

Why a cracker smiling
No one to show your teeth to
My momma sit and praying

I got on my knees too
Will a hoe call me God
If she on her knees too

No excuses for what we do
They try to kill my dog
I know they wanna kill me too

So I got my little choppers
And my M16 two
Trust me, everybody's 16 true

I just got off the stage with Em&50
To my baby mama (*##$in'
'Bout some (*##$es

Can I enjoy this moment?
For a minute, damn!


There's no way you can be
Happy when you love like a sad
There's no way you can be

I hope you get me what I'm saying
There's no way you can be
Happy when you love like a sad

There's no way you can be
I hope you get me what I'm saying


They telling me to smile
Turn my frown upside down
I'm like 'How?'

My little brother's running wild
My mother breaking down
My best friend faces trial

It's like this dark cloud
Keeps on following me around
My hate and my frown

My babies make me proud
But when I try to see'em
They say I'm not allowed

Music the only thing going right now
Only place where I can escape
And scream loud

They say time is money
Am I wasting my time?
'Cause I ain't getting nothing from it

I heard the sales all derived
No black like rap
Opportunity rocking

Even turn in and out
What it's like from the inside?


But it seems whenever
I need you there for me
I'm never there

'Cause it seems whenever
My head always somewhere else
But it seems whenever

I need you there for me
But I still need you to care
But it seems whenever

Need me in your prayers

There's no way you can be
Happy when you love like a sad
There's no way you can be

I hope you get me what I'm saying
There's no way you can be
Happy when you love like a sad
There's no way you can be
I hope you get me what I'm saying
