Story behind the song
This song was written originally in 2005. The beat was sumthin i cut up by another artist. I recorded it with a video camera LOL!
I recently felt like doing it over. That's it.
Lyrics
I USE TO TAKE 36 PILLS A DAY
NOW I’M DOWN TO ONE AND MIDODRINE’S THE ONE I TAKE
FOR MY BLOOD PRESSURE IT MAKES ME FEEL OK
BUT,THE HARDEST ONE TO HANDLE
WAS THE LAST ONE I WAS TAKING.IT WAS SERTRALINE
I USED TO TAKE IT FOR DEPRESSION
CUZ MY IS WAS HARD EVERY MOMENT I WAS STRESSING
NOW I WAKE UP TRYING COUNTING EVERY BLESSING CUZ
I FEEL LIKE I’VE BEEN PUT IN THIS CHAIR TO LEARN A LESSON
NOW I SEE THE WORLD IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS
I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING PRAYING FOR BETTER DAYS
IF YOUR FEELING WHAT I’M SAYING THEN TRY TO MAKE A CHANGE
FIGURE OUT YOUR PROBLEMS AND,TRY TO REARANGE’EM
PUT DOWN THE DRUGS AND,ALCOHOL AND, TRY TO SAVE YOURSELF
IF YOU CAN’T HANDLE IT ALONE THEN ASK A FRIEND FOR HELP
CAN’T YOU HEAR ME POURING OUT MY HEART IN THIS SONG
LET’S TRY TO SAVE THE WORLD BEFORE IT’S TOO FAR GONE
(CHORUS)
WHY DO WE DO THE THINGS WE DO IT’S HURTING ME AND,YOU
WHY CAN’T WE SEE IT’S HURTING YOU AND,ME
I FEEL LIKE EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD IS BLIND
BUT,NOT ME I AIN’T GETTING LEFT BEHIND
IM ALWAYS MOVING FORWARD TRYIN TO REACH MY GOALS
YOU CAN HEAR IT IN MY LYRICS EVERY LINE IT SHOWS
I GREW UP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF PERFECT
EVERYWHERE I WENT I GOT PUSHED SHOVED AND,KICKED
PEOPLE ALWAYS MADE FUN OF ME
DID’NT ANYBODY SEE WHAT THEY WERE DOING TO ME
I FEEL LIKE I WAS BROUGHT IN THIS WORLD TO SUFFER
PEOPLE ALWAYS TOLD ME IT WOULD MAKE ME TOUGHER
THAT’S BULLSHIT,THAT’S NOT THE WAY IT’S SUPPOSE TO BE
SO GET UP OFF YOUR ASSES IF YOUR FEELIN ME
COME ON EVERYBODY TAKE A CHANCE
DON’T BE AFRAID OF ALITTLE ADVANCEMENT
OPEN UP YOUR EYES AND,MAYBE YOU’LL SEE
THAT THE WHOLE WORLD IS ON THE SAME TRACK AS ME
(CHORUS)
WHY DO WE DO THE THINGS WE DO IT’S HURTING ME AND,YOU
WHY CAN’T WE SEE IT’S HURTING YOU AND,ME
CAN YOU HEAR WHAT I’M SAYIN WHAT I’M SPITTIN WHAT I’M SPRAYING
GOTTA LIVE YOUR LIFE BEFORE IT’S IN THE GROUND YOU’RE LAYIN
THE ONLY THING WE HAVE IN THIS WORLD IS TIME
GOT TROUBLES BACK UP DON’T BE WASTIN MINE
BETTER CHECK YOURSELF TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIIRROR
DEEP INTO YOUR EYES SO YOU SEE THINGS CLEARER
FOCUS ON THE LOOK THAT’S UPON YOUR FACE
YOU MIGHT COME TO FIND THAT YOU’VE BEEN HATIN ON YOUR OWN RACE
OR EVEN WORSE HATIN ON YOURSELF OH DEAR GOD
ANOTHER CRY FOR HELP
LIVE FOR THE MOMENT FORGET ABOUT THE PAST
KEEP THINKING BOUT THAT SHIT YOU’LL COME UP LAST
IF YOU EVER SEE TEARS FALLIN FROM MY EYES
I’M CRYIN FOR THE WORLD NOT BECAUSE I’M PARALYZED
