So Tired
Hi-Tek Lyrics

Tired, so tired
I am exhausted and drained both physically and emotionally.

It's a shame the way I'm livin this life, but I keep livin it
I know my way of living is not the best, but I continue to live like it anyway.

Smoke to get high
I use marijuana to feel a sense of euphoria.

And the weed and hennessy don't do nothin but I keep rippin it
Even though marijuana and alcohol don't help me in any way, I continue to use them.

It's the way I live my life
This is my lifestyle and I choose to live it this way.

It's my life and how I live in the sunshine, my nigga
This is my life and how I spend my days.

Man, day-in day-out it's the same old same
Every day is monotonous and nothing changes.

I'm tryin to make a dollar out of 15 cents main
I'm doing my best to make money from very little resources.

A little purp in the swisher
I mix a little marijuana with my tobacco to smoke it in a cigar.

A little purp in the cup
I add some purple drank (codeine syrup mixed with soda) to my drink.

A little purp in my system
I have ingested some amount of marijuana and purple drank.

And I can't give myself up
I can't stop my addiction to marijuana and purple drank.

I kick myself up out the bed
I force myself to get out of bed.

Out the door to the block
I walk outside to the streets.

Motivate my way to the corner and hustle the rocks
I push myself to sell drugs on the street corner.

I don't love what I'm doin, but I hate where I'm stayin
I don't enjoy selling drugs, but I hate being broke and struggling.

So I be out with the truth's, cause it's due's that I'm payin
I spend my time on the streets because I need to pay my debts.

Prayin I can find a way up out this bottomless pit
I hope I can find a way to escape this never-ending cycle of poverty and drug use.

Cause livin like how I'm livin ain't hittin no shit
Living like how I am isn't satisfying or fulfilling.

Niggas tell it like it's nothin so there's no one to trust
People talk like it's nothing so I cannot trust anyone.

And for me to see tomorrow by any means is a must
Surviving each day is important and I'll do what it takes to see the next day.

So ain't no need to fuss about it, take it day-by-day
I don't need to worry about it, I'll take life one day at a time.

Get my hustle on and keep these hater's out my way
I'll work hard and ensure that nobody that hates me gets in my way.

I trust no niggas and trust no ho's
I don't trust anyone, not even friends or romantic partners.

And I'm never really asleep, there's only one eye closed
I am always alert and ready to defend myself, even when sleeping.

My work, shit is also playtime
My job is also like playtime for me.

When I punch in I roll a sweet then I say rhymes
When I start working, I smoke a marijuana cigar and then start rapping.

A drink'll help, I take a step to the bottle then pop the top
Alcohol helps me, so I go to the bottle and open it.

Finish up the lyrics, go in and rock the spot
I finish writing lyrics, go to perform them and give a great performance.

I come out and take another swig
I leave the stage and take another sip of alcohol.

Another brew, another blunt, another cig
I have another beer, smoke another marijuana cigar, and smoke another cigarette.

Shit, who got the liquor nigga
I wonder who has more alcohol.

Fuck it, I'll drink it even though, you know, it gets me sicka quicka
I'll still drink it even if it makes me sick faster.

I'm goin hard, yet, I'm still on the clock
Even though I work hard, I must still work long hours.

My homie got the weed, my partna got the pills on lock
My friend has marijuana and my partner has access to pills.

And, whatever-ya else you want from speed to syrup
Whatever you need like cocaine or codeine syrup, we can get it.

But I prefer the herb
I prefer using marijuana.

And I drink, so I got to watch how I behave
I need to be careful when drinking so I don't do anything stupid.

My beer was frozen – tried to put it in the microwave
My beer was too cold, so I tried to warm it up in the microwave.

I got to focus cause tonight we got a show
I need to concentrate because we have a performance tonight.

And you know we gonna be drinkin and smokin some mo'
I know we will be drinking and smoking more later on.

Now personally, I don't give a fuck who forget about me when I'm dead and gone
I personally am not concerned about who will remember me when I die.

Cause most of the people who don't care won't even hear this song
Those who don't care about me won't listen to this song.

I been a lot of place's I thought I'd never ever be
I've been in many places I never thought I would go.

And I seen a lot of things I thought I'd never ever see
I've experienced many things I never thought I would see.

My momma told me that these streets gonna be the death of me
My mother warned me that the streets will lead to my death.

I've been in situations from murder's to the burglaries
I have been through experiences from murder to burglary.

I'm a pretty dude, why ugly dudes always be testin me
I am an attractive man, yet unattractive men always try to test me.

I'm a skinny dude, why big dudes always be testin me
I am thin, yet large men always try to test me.

I make it happen real fast, unexpectedly
I achieve things quickly and unexpectedly.

My hood shootouts be exactly like the Westerns be
Shootouts in my neighborhood are similar to those seen in Western movies.

I tell a judge and jury I was just defendin' me
I justify my actions in court as self-defense.

And intimidation is no relation, only kin to me
I am accustomed to intimidation and see it as familiar.

I usually ride by myself, there's never men with me
I usually ride alone and don't have anyone with me.

I'm a grown man, I don't need no men to send for me
I am independent and don't require anyone's help to take care of myself.

Cause it ain't no vest on me, don't think you got the best of me
I don't have any protection and won't let anyone defeat me easily.

That ain't the way I'm supposed to die, that ain't my destiny
I'm not supposed to die like that, it's not how fate has planned it out for me.

[Chorus]
