[Chorus x 2] I know it's strange But my brain's gone really insane And I'm off the chain Sipping on a fifth of the Golden Grain I feel like slappin' a nigga today (slap, slap) Slappin' a nigga today I feel like slappin' a nigga today (slap, slap) Slappin' a nigga today Slappin' a nigga today This morning I woke up on the wrong side of the bed (bed) I'm sick of people putting lies in my head (head) I don't really wanna work; I'm tired I hate my nine to five And I'm thinking 'bout killin' my boss today Killin' my boss today I'm thinking 'bout killin' my boss today (it's just a thought, man) Killin' my boss today (yeah) Yesterday my best friend died (died) Somebody came and took his life (life) Now I'm looking up at the sky Have you ever seen a grown man cry? And I'm asking, why did you take him away? Why did you take him away? I'm asking, why did you take him away? (Why'd you take him?) Why did you take him away? (Hey) I need some money please (please) I can barely make it on these streets (these streets) 'Cause I got a couple mouths to feed My baby's in dire need So I'm thinking 'bout robbin' a bank today Robbin' a bank today I'm thinking 'bout robbin' a bank today Robbin' a bank today (real talk) Baby mama's at home and fussin' (fussin') Callin' up my mobile, cussin' (cussin') Always yappin' about this and that But she really don't be talkin' 'bout nothin' Somebody take my pain away (Take my pain away) Take my pain away (please) Somebody take my pain away (hey) Take my pain away (I can't take it) [Chorus: x2] Somebody just broke in my ride (ride) Snatched up everything inside (inside) Even got my forty-five How am I supposed to survive When I know that my stereo's taken away Stereo's taken away? When I know that my stereo's taken away (I need my music, man!) Stereo's taken away (hey) Gas prices are way too high Rich people are way too fly And I'm where I wanna be in my life But why am I so behind? Is it 'cause I'm wasting my time away Wasting my time away? Is it 'cause I'm wasting my time away (too lazy) Wasting my time away? (I can't help it) My grand mama's nerves are bad (bad) And everybody in the hood is mad (mad) 'Cause President Bush could give a damn about our ass So I don't wanna hear shit that he has to say (Don't say nothin') Shit that he has to say I don't wanna hear shit that he has to say Shit that he has to say (woo) Troops gone, and we still at war (war) Nobody even really knows what for (what for) Even more I'm scared to find what the world really has in store 'Cause you know that tomorrow's not promised today (it's not promised, man) Tomorrow's not promised today 'Cause you know that tomorrow's not promised today (Live like today could be your last, man!) Tomorrow's not promised today (hey) [Chorus: x4]
