A Mess (Live)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] See I'm just like you, yeah I know I'm a mess Take a minute to think, take a hour to dress Got this pain in my neck, pain from starin' at stars I can't find the remote, drinkin' drivin' my car Keep lookin' for love, finding beautiful pain Told myself I should stop, but I'm at it again Stirrin' up my Kool-Aid, watch these gangstas parade Pretty sisters get shunned, bitch niggas I fade See I'm from up the block, wear my hat with it cocked Sometimes I hate my life, wish I ain't love it so much Addicted to her touch, tryin' to find me a place Tryna shine get my taste, drink and dance to the cuts Got issues with trust, stay wonderin' why Tryin' to feel it in herе, before I'm up to the sky So whatеver's your mic, spit your game through it tight Y'ain't promised daylight, so I'm steppin' tonight To go, but we all go (yeah!) [Chorus] We all go (yeah!) We all go (yeah!) We all go (yeah!) We all go (yeah!) [Bridge 1] Shit, to the club, to the till, to the boogie, the spot Where the dudes and the birds dress cold and get hot 9-to-5'ers tryna stay alive Sky up and split it, you know I'm with it The Jamdowns (yeah!) To Centrals (yeah!) The Bottoms (yeah!) For Gunbeats (yeah!) Shabazz yeah (yeah!) And oldheads (yeah!) The Glitter Gang straight off the Ace (yeah!) [Verse 2] See I'm just like you, always pressed for my time Need a sec to unwind, non-stop's all I got First they wants to fucks with you 'cause you one-of-a-kind Then you can't catch them on the line, shit went to cold from hot Hollywood's on their mind, all chasing it blind Make sure that your shine's the results of your grind Not just runnin' some lines, with your gun and your ride Cause out that shit Imma climb, it's about that time To go, but we all go (yeah!) [Chorus] We all go (yeah!) We all go (yeah!) We all go (yeah!) We all go (yeah!) [Bridge 2] Ok, everybody got to go to school and learn The golden rule so you can know when you get burned To dance whenever the beat is concerned Then wait your turn, then wait your turn, then wait your turn The whispers say (yeah!) The oil say (yeah!) The brothers say (yeah!) The money say (yeah!) Tomorrow[?] say (yeah!) The dancers say (yeah!) The rebels say (yeah!) Keep it movin', keep it movin', keep it movin' Say (yeah!) The people say (yeah!) The sisters say (yeah!) The miss'll say (yeah!) The listeners say (yeah!) Right on say (yeah!) Baby say (yeah!) The star's the limit Alright now [Verse 3] Now on the night I was born, you seen the moon on her back Superfly laid the terms, niggas sign the contracts Priest linked in his 'lac, all us dreamin' in black White lights high beamin', we can't see where we at "Fuck that" was the rap, let's get a piece of the ac' Pigs come in through the front, we takin' off out the back I was raised to the facts by starlets and jacks Type of cats that see the pigs they gon' pull out straps They slappin' bones in the kitchen, not just watchin' I'm listenin' Livin' life in that rhythm, too much taking no giving You rap niggas, what is it? Ah, do what you do But when you say it's for us, why's it always 'bout you? Imma dance to it though, romance with my girl Turn my pain into glitter, gold dips with a swirl See I come from them slaves, so I'm live and I'm true Brave real and I'm cool, see I'm just like you I'm here where we all go [Chorus] We all go (yeah!) We all go (yeah!) We all go (yeah!) We all go (yeah!) [Outro] We go to it and through it, if we do it at all The higher that you get up, the more you expose Watch your end so it grows Cause everybody get to that one last pose
