Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I cant take it
When I cant take it no more
This is what I say
La di da da da
La di da da da
Over
When you cant take it
This is what you say
La di da da da
La di da da da
Over
They say its a cold world
Yeah you got that right
I almost packed it all in on the spot last night
They want a killer instinct
I'm just that type
If the fights not mine
I wont fight that fight
Life without struggling
Yeah right
Make one mistake, wont make that twice
Out of sight out of mine
Find yourself out of time
Buy your own pants
Get your hands out of mine
In the promise they say you'll make it
There's work to be done
You must grind and shine
If every second is a blessing
Yes it is precious
Suggest you get message
The aggression when your finding a direction
Heading non stop just to find that the road is blocked
You wanna Pop, POP
Flip you and stun
Lets settle down and work it out
Its really all you've got
[Chorus]
And yeah I'm frustrated
Whats this, how much, who what, where when, why man, how Come
So many questions unanswered
I don't understand
Could you please explain sir
I'm in a phase, I believe I can change
In exchange for an explanation, estimation, hesitation
Is it as visible dealing with digital
Figitting through email
When it is critical condition
My heads in
I'm heading
In the wrong direction
Book me a session
Let it off my chest
Ill invest in a (Cannon)
Just so I can blow with my bro as my (Right hand man)
Fan Dan ass kicking with ash spitting
I'm not different just ask Jigga (Ask Jigga)
He listened and witnessed the birth of a star
Urging and surging his way up to the top of the charts
[Chorus]
When I'm trying to come up (they wanna bring me down)
When I'm trying to come up (they wanna bring me down)
When I'm trying to come up (they wanna bring me down)
When I'm trying to come up (they wanna bring me down)
When you trying to come up (they wanna you me down)
When you trying to come up (they wanna you me down)
When you trying to come up (they wanna you me down)
When you trying to come up (they wanna you me down)
[Chorus]
