Problems
Russ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Never knew life threw this many, I been through the ringer ain't shit pretty
Moved from the cap to a big city, attracted to those that'd click with me
But I left behind a lot of things undone, feel confused then I tend to run
Leash my problems in a corner somewhere they get to biting showing teeth and tongue
Can't forget about that even if I tried... if I tried
Ever told you otherwise I done lied... I done lied
Really lost count of the days I cried... days I cried
Close to the edge but I survived... I survived
Drive slow with my tank on E, pay toll 'cause the road ain't free
Cut the lights out that's my key, can't face what I cannot see
More scared of vices than I am of Isis, peace priceless, nothing like it
Major key but you can't type it, not trying to over hype it
'Cause it been a long time since I been like that, lost in the world I just wanna go back
Mind been gone but the body intact, lips getting black 'cause I'm blowing on sacks
Ain't no Jazz and it ain't no jive... happy to still be alive
Right now I'm high... that's how I deal with my problems
I know I ain't the only one got a problem dealing with
Problems... problems
I know I ain't the only one got a problem dealing with
Problems... problems
I got problems, problems, problems, problems
I got problems, problems, problems, problems
I know I ain't the only one got a problem dealing with
Problems... problems
Had to grow up quick, must've been a whole lot I skipped
As a man I don't feel equipped, to deal like I'm moving bricks
Skeed I catch a lift up the slope to look for some hope and pray for my folks
Rescue me show me that rope 'cause new ways to cope become an antidote
I been numb to that pain... but this ain't the same as that Novocaine
I mean, pours when it rains... people change but the love remain
Feeling lonely, wanna pass the time... I'm really way past lil glass of wine
My trouble on the run it could pass batons now I'm fronting on everyone a master con they be like
"How you doing?" "Good" "Tell the truth..." should
Hard to deal with real for real or come to grips with the way I feel
I mixed Crown and pills an all time low, blacked out on the fam so I think they know
Looking back at it man that was years ago, only difference is now I got a beard that grow
And it been a long time since I been like this, feeling quite poor, trying to get rich
Bout that time no eyes on the wrist, praying for the people we starving and sick
Maybe a glitch and maybe a phase... all this hell I raise
Three five of haze... that's how I deal with my problems
I know I ain't the only one got a problem dealing with
Problems... problems
I know I ain't the only one got a problem dealing with
Problems... problems
I got problems, problems, problems, problems
I got problems, problems, problems, problems
I know I ain't the only one got a problem dealing with
Problems... problems
I know I ain't the only one got a problem dealing with
Problems... problems
I know I ain't the only one got a problem dealing with
Problems... problems
I got problems, problems, problems, problems
I got problems, problems, problems, problems




I know I ain't the only one got a problem dealing with
Problems... problems

[Chorus: Russ]
I know I got problems
At least I face them
Gotta' speak on the bullshit
Cause to me it's not bullshit

[Verse 1: Russ]
Yeah and I'm schizophrenic, bipolar
Mental maniac mobbin'
Yellin' at the universe like
"Pay me back, I got some problems"
Uncle was on cocaine
Other uncle died early
Cousin turned to heroin
My grandpa's got the shakes, I'm nervous
Hope he gets to see me make it
Before I see his funeral service
Yeah

[Refrain 1: Russ]
Let the liquor creep, creep, creep up on me
I don't need to sleep, sleep, sleep 'cause I'm on this
So let's go
Woah, woah, ooh-oohh, yeah

[Chorus: Russ]
I know I got problems
At least I face them
Gotta' speak on the bullshit
Cause to me it's not bullshit

[Verse 2: Russ]
Yeah, I moved around a lot
Learned not to get attached
Dad gave his trust to a hoe
Tryna' get it back
Even after I was born
Nothin' worse
Than a women's scorn
Comin' after
Kids with the wrong one
Could be a natural disaster
I remember driving up on Easter
Daddy in jail, ex wife said he beat her
My mom had to cope with this hoe, spittin' ether
And my dad doesn't fuck with y'all
So I don't fuck with y'all either

[Refrain 2: Russ]
Yeah, I should know not to fuck with hoes
But I love them and they love me
Should of learned you could feel the burn
Of a bitch gone bitter

[Chorus: Russ]
I know I got problems
At least I face them
Gotta' speak on the bullshit
Cause to me it's not bullshit
I know I got problems
At least I face them
Gotta' speak on the bullshit
Cause to me it's not bullshit
(Diemon)
