[Chorus]
Ayo, I’m slippin', trippin', fuckin' up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up

[Verse 1]
I’ve been stuck in phases, trapped in mazes,
Chasin' dreams, thinkin' happy days ain’t far away.
If I hold strong, I’ll see my kid grow,
Doin' things better than what I used to know.
I’ve seen it all, man, now I’m in deep (Ugh),
Lookin’ back at what it cost me to keep (Ugh).
First came the mess, drama with my mama,
She was wildin', I left sayin', "I’m gone, no mo drama!"
I’d be that one who don’t need much to make it, (Ugh)
Driven by hunger and a heart that won’t break quick (What).
Ready for the world, or so I thought,
Catchin' every vibe, tryna ride with what I got.
But I wasn’t tall, man, felt so small,
Goin' fast, crashin’ hard, couldn’t tell at all.
From foster homes to jail’s prep (Uh-huh),
Grew up fast in a system with no step.
Had to stand tall, but was it all my fault?
Made my dad bounce, left me at seven with my first assault. (Ugh)
Back at fourteen, plot in my mind (Ugh),
Stackin' mo cash than I’d ever seen, no time. (Ugh)
And by any means, I was livin' high on the dream (What),
Didn’t care for much, but my dog and the team. (What)
He was my only mothafucka, hit him off with the stash,
Just another lost kid, runnin' fast on the dash.

[Verse 2]
It got colder as I grew older, world felt bolder,
I walked around with a boulder heavy on my shoulder.
Dared any mothafucka to cross my way,
Didn’t need a crew, I made ‘em freeze with what I’d say.
One deep with the pit, causin' chaos for kicks,
Catchin’ licks, throwin’ fists, stayin’ slick with tricks.
Used to get high just to make it through the day,
Puffin’ on that L in the mornin' just to start my way.
Ate somethin', downin' forties just to feel alive,
Then I hit some coke, ready to ride and thrive.
Three years in, stress hit like a flood,
Didn’t care ‘bout my look, my fit, or my blood.
Possessed by the dark side, livin’ on that edge,
Life like this had me grippin' on a knife’s sharp ledge.
Wanted to make hits but I’m wreckin’ it all,
I’m trippin', I’m fallin', can’t answer the call.

[Verse 3]
Didn’t take long ‘til I hit the ground low,
People talkin' like, "Damn, look how bad he’s gonna go!"
Wide open, lost my way, no mo smoke to inhale,
Staring at a screen, like, "Man, that could’ve been your tale."
Could’ve been me on that stage, bright and wide,
But I knew somethin' had to give, had to push my pride.
Now I got a son, that’s my reason to grind,
No mo gettin' high, or wastin’ all my time.
Back at it, lookin’ sharp, slick in my fit,
Fake mothafuckas tryna jump back on the ship.
Nothin’ but love for the ones that stayed real,
And to the ones who knew the deal, ya know the feel.
Kept me grounded, stopped me from doin' wrong,
Ya know who ya are, and this here’s ya song.
To my girl who stayed true through all the dirt,
You’ll get what’s yours, ‘cause baby, you put in work.

[Chorus]
Ayo, I’m slippin', trippin', fuckin' up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up
