Worst Case Scenario

Lyrics

[Intro] Yo, you know, you know, you know You know, you know, know, know You know, you know, you know, yo At the tone, please record your message [Verse 1] Depressed, stressed, messed up in the head Fed up, upset, broke and in debt Smokin' cigarettes, sippin' on a fifth Mixing substances, fixing to sniff To get a lift, 'cause I feel down Wearing a frown like a sad faced clown Crown me the king of pain Wondering around, pondering profound thoughts in the rain About to get a migraine, began to explain To a stranger what was going on in my brain He took a listen, looked me in the eyes And said, "Bitch nigga, can't you see I'm paralyzed From the neck down to my thighs? You got it lucky, little sucka, best to recognize" What he said stayed in my head all night long Next morning, got up out of bed and wrote this song [Chorus] Looking at my life and what I've been through He begins to realize it's cool compared to Worst case scenario Worst case scenario Looking at my life and what I've been through He begins to realize it's cool compared to Worst case scenario Worst case scenario [Verse 2] My uncle went to war in Korea for matters that didn't concern him Saw friends lose limbs Lose lives, lose wives He got grim memories because he survived Now focus your eyes on real ordeals, and feel fortunate If you ain't caught up in some horrible shit Sit back, contemplate The fate of a state penitentiary inmate Waitin' on the day to be executed Even though they know he did not do it People going through it all over the planet And most of us tend to take things for granted Like food, clothing, shelter, health The ability to provide for yourself Life, freedom, family, love 'Cause some folks don't got none of the above [Chorus] Looking at my life and what I've been through He begins to realize it's cool compared to Worst case scenario Worst case scenario Looking at my life and what I've been through He begins to realize it's cool compared to Worst case scenario Worst case scenario [Verse 3] Young boy wanna speak up on death when he rappin' But it's a different thing when that shit really happen What you know about, gettin' stretched out? Body sketched out and chalked on the sidewalk Talking that stuff like your neck is rough One second of realness, you had enough Cream puffs perpetuate like life ain't great Elaborate, embellish and hella exaggerate You fake like a weave, 'cause you make believe A fraudulent persona you attempt to achieve Deceive the mind of the dumb, deaf, blind In fact, it's a step-back for all mankind (Mankind, mankind) If you are satisfied with your message, press 1 [Chorus] Looking at my life and what I've been through He begins to realize it's cool compared to Worst case scenario Worst case scenario Looking at my life and what I've been through He begins to realize it's cool compared to Worst case scenario Worst case scenario
