[Chorus]
I have tried in vein 
Never had success 
So it seems my life is nothing but a mess 
I have lost, my only friends 
Now it seems I have to start again 
Merry go round

My life's been goin' around 'n' round since ninety five 
Went from goin' somewhere about to die 
Went from callin' my chick a chicken 
Cause she look like she got poultry around her thighs 
To callin' your piece a chicken 
Cause she got no teeth and she got crow feet around her eyes 
How hard are y'all? I got a heart the size of Arkansas 
Count to five, these birds gon' hit the ground 
And they ain't from out the Sky 
Went from havin' an outta-this-world-flow, 
To doin' the video, doin' the coon dance 
To watchin' my good friend Eminem winnin' a moonman 
I remember cause I was in New York with all of my boys to start shit 
Lettin' 'em stay with me, long story short, 
They tore up my corporate apartment 
Went from bein a kid addicted to basketball 
To bein' an ignorent nigga addicted to alcohol 
Round and round we go is how this movie would end 
Self-proclaimed King of my city, 
Not really just truly the King of losin' a friend 
Who would've thought this goof 
In the park who's true to his ark would lose 
Or win just by givin' his thoughts 'n' views 

[Chorus]

You would hear that Ryan's skilled 
Might even hear Ryan kills 
You will never hear Ryan steals 
Here to put the "I" in ill 
My mind is still 
Like a merry-go-round spill 
Like leavin' only guns to my kids when I'm killed 
I got an iron will 
Intellect as ion I don' went from high on pills 
To triumph, to hidin' from bills, to buyin' buildin's 
Then I went from writin' for Dre 
To wonderin' if my head was on straight on the sidelines 
Feelin' I forgot about listenin' to "Forgot About Dre" 
From there I went to about a bottle a day 
Tellin' who we know "Get outta my face!" 
Okay I know what Kino said about Dre 
I look at Kino to this day like that was a stupid mistake 
But if it wasn't for him doin' that, what would I be doin' today? 
If it wasn't for Cassius sayin' that he gonna beat my ass 
Then me and Em probably wouldn't be laughin' bout us gettin' past it 
If it wasn't for me bein outcasted I woulda never been on the underground 
Rappin' wit slaughterhouse! 

[Chorus]
