How much mo` can I take
I`m all alone in a world gone mad
Brothers is doin bad
I had hopes and dreams, it seems like though nobody care
Who says life is fair cause ain`t no justice out here nowhere
I prepare myself to hold court right here in the street
Don`t come at me with no b.s., homie, give me five feet
I can`t get no sleep, peace and quiet or rest
I got ulcers, migraines and pains in my chest
So God bless my soul, I feel old when I`m not
But physically and mentally I`m going through a lot
I know my time on this big blue baloon is short
Stress and pray everyday while people playin sport
Worry myself sick, so I be tryin to stay active
But death is lookin more and more attractive
Lord have mercy, why me, I know you ain`t make no mistake
But look at what a brother down here goin through for yo sake

Don`t think I`m happy, homie, just because you see me grinnin
But honest, ma, stress got my head spinnin
And I`m just tryin to be polite, I had a real rough night
And I don`t wanna see no friends until I get my ends right
I got enough problems, and it`s messin up my health
I keep puttin my family and friends before myself
When I`m the one who need help but too proud to ask for it
When there`s somethin wrong with me y`all be the last to know it
Cause I don`t show it, I handle it and privately suffer
Havin patience is a mutha
Trials and tribulations, that`s how my lessons begin
I`m overpowered by death and the impressions of men
I`m tryin to overcome these obstacles that I meet
With women, kids, work, religion and my friends in the street
I done spread myself too thin, fell into a trap
And I`m just about ready to snap
