Slippin' Again

It's what it is, baby
It's straight biz, baby
We ain't kids, baby (what?)
We get down like that (like that)

Slippin' and fallin'
This time it got a - callin'
Up to the Lord where I'm crawlin'
On my knees 'cause I'm tired of slippin' and fallin'

(Check it) more money, more problems (huh)
I thought more money would solve 'em
I spent more money in Harlem
Than Frank Lucas did before the boys got 'em (what?)

Now the - done changed
How I'm feelin'? - look strange
I realize that - ain't the same (uh)
'Cause at the end of the day, - ain't a game (come on)

Goin' through it but I slipped and fell
Ran to the hood, took a trip to Hell
Deal when I should, that's why all my - sell
Always know I could, so I did well

(Check it) if y'all only knew
What my life was like, and what I'm goin' through
Maybe you'd think before you talk (okay)
You better crawl before you walk (c'mon)

You think havin' money is the answer?
Money ain't nothin' but another form of cancer
All you could do is watch me die
You don't wanna watch me cry, so watch me fly

What you gon' do is watch me fly (yeah)
Do my thing on that big stage in the sky
Lord, please, hold me down (c'mon)
'Cause now everybody wanna know me now

Please help me (what?), Which way do I go? (Go)
Life's a book, which page do I show? (What?)
'Cause I know, can't show 'em all
Even though I slipped and fell, I won't fall

Get it? Okay, you don't (uh)
Some of y'all will but most of y'all won't (uh)
I'ma keep livin' life bein' the man
That God made me (I know), I know only He can save me

Ooh! Ah!

(I wish you knew!) I don't wanna fall
I won't fall, I don't wanna fall

(I wish you knew!) I don't wanna fall, ah-ah
