Heartaches

Lyrics

[Chorus] I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come Stay ready and you won't have to get ready I'm getting ready (Ready), I'm (Ready) I'm getting (Ready) Ooooh I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come Stay ready and you won't have to get ready I'm getting ready (Ready), I'm (Ready) I'm getting (Ready) Ooooh [Bridge] Didn't I do the best I could now didn't I? I really tried to do my best-best 'Cause you taken away all my reasons for living Now can I get that back-back? Didn't I do the best I could now didn't I? Yes, I did my very best, best 'Cause you taken away all my reasons for living Now can I get that back? [Verse 1] Brought up in Brick City, that ain't no cloth you can cut My momma didn't raise no suckas in Pam's house Come some of the toughest, Gladys and Colliu Miss granny and grandpapa Allah knows how much I miss and love you They passed away and then family start separatin' Drug addiction afflicted, created hella situations So hard to maintain, me and Stevie playing with matches One morning burned down the house on a day that it rained And then the heartaches came Wasn't really nobody to point the blame but all the pain Many tear stains left mama drained Daily we gang banged through and through the ghetto Lil' niggas raising havoc Throwin' them thangs like you would imagine, it was magic Still we can't take life for granted, it seems we just don't get it We lettin' our young ones get caught in the madness Madness, it's sad, all I see is apathy It's tragic We never snap out of it 'til one of us in a casket Dropped out of Allegheny College Chasin' the fame, state our claim made our name The game would never be the same Then niggas did change You would of thought Flesh was winnin' But a date with angel dust, from there my troubles would begin [Chorus] I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come Stay ready and you won't have to get ready I'm getting ready (Ready), I'm (Ready) I'm getting (Ready) Ooooh I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come Stay ready and you won't have to get ready I'm getting ready (Ready), I'm (Ready) I'm getting (Ready) Ooooh [Bridge] Didn't I do the best I could now didn't I? I really tried to do my best-best 'Cause you taken away all my reasons for living Now can I get that back-back? Didn't I do the best I could now didn't I? Yes, I did my very best, best 'Cause you taken away all my reasons for living Now can I get that back? [Verse 2] Big Flesh always been deadly the way I hold it down That undisputed champ 'cause its my camp that hold the crown We stomp the ground from Cleveland all the way to Cali On the Greyhound on a do-or-die mission evadin' bounty hunters Hustle in the hood then punch the clock at KFC Fronted the ends I got to cop double ups of D-O-P-E Did the best I could to get me and me niggas out the hood Seems my best wasn't good enough, went and put it all on the wood Out of my mind, went crazy, Stack punching windows out Self-inflicted the pain, my niggas broke out, man, I don't blame 'em Woke up in the hospital with T-Ski right by my side Told me to strap my seat belt on and took me for a wild ride In and out the county, Wayside, we super max Exhausted my options once those felonies started stackin' up Shermed out, man, all I had to do was detox Before I got off the bottle, it was courtrooms and lots of cops I made my bed, I had to lay on it with spikes and all Spiraling off the wall went on a head-long fall Call it what you want 'cause I'll be back kicking up dust I must, and, yo, it ain't over 'til that skinny nigga bust [Chorus] I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come Stay ready and you won't have to get ready I'm getting ready (Ready), I'm (Ready) I'm getting (Ready) Ooooh I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come Stay ready and you won't have to get ready I'm getting ready (Ready), I'm (Ready) I'm getting (Ready) Ooooh [Bridge] Didn't I do the best I could now didn't I? I really tried to do my best-best 'Cause you taken away all my reasons for living Now can I get that back-back? Didn't I do the best I could now didn't I? Yes, I did my very best, best 'Cause you taken away all my reasons for living Now can I get that back?
