Lyrics

Today somebody told me

"If you die tonight, I wouldn't be surprised"

I held back my tears then

But later on, I cried

This made me ask myself what kind of person was I

You know what I mean?

I'm just so tired, of making all the wrong decisions

And I can't do nothing, about them but to live with them

And I can't figure out why I'm always trippin'

Life's so fucking crazy it's got me all twisted

Everybody tells me, "Quente, you're so gifted"

Well then why am I at the top of my own shit list?

I'm stuck struggling to go from rags to riches

And I found life isn't about money and bitches

Just picture this: if you had all the money in the world

But you weren't allowed to see your little boy or girl

But every night, at home you fucked a fine ass bitch

Could you call that a fair trade? Or would you wanna switch

Back? So take it from me homie

There isn't nothing in this world worth being at your pad lonely

It's like living in a hearse curse so my kids come first

My kids, cause that's where my heart is

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary or get killed by my enemies?

Cause it ain't easy, being me, being me

C-U-E-T-E

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary or get killed by my enemies?

Cause it ain't easy, being me, being me

C-U-E-T-E

I'm just so tired, of fighting with my baby's mom

We're cool for a while, but it's always off and on

Sometimes I really feel like we'll never get along

Cause in her mind, it seems I'm always fucking wrong

I do the best I can to be a good dad and man

Cause I want Angel and Bamz to grow up better than I am

And it seems, that they've already outsmarted me

They're the best part of me, they're in the center of the heart in me

That's why it's so hard for me, to see reality

I'm living day by day without Angel and Anthony

And the lights are dim when you don't got your family

And it's not killing me softly, it's killing me badly

Cause I'm their daddy, and I want the best for my two

So I work my ass off and do, what I gotta do

I work overtime for those kids of mine

And I still can't find peace there's nothing but stress in my mind

What's your story dawg?

Tryna figure out, why do I try so hard?

Tryna survive and stay in a job and buying

A car and a house with a dog in the yard

Every time I see the light, Edison come to cut my power

Or the gas man call to tell me to pay my bill or take cold showers

Every day I go to work my hands until they feel like they wanna break

Tryna survive and get by with this chump change I make

Sometimes I feel like I'm cursed, chained

And restrained, under some kind of a spell

I try to kick, punch and shoot and

Scream but I can't get out of my shell

Should I just say fuck it? Shoot myself? Throw myself off a cliff?

This question is running through my mind, I'm tired of all this shit

Sometimes I sit, and I wonder who'd go to my funeral if I died

Not that I'd go through with it but I swear

That I feel like I got nobody by my side

And I hope I don't sound like a bitch

And I don't want you to feel sorry for me

But I'm like Goliath when the rock hit

Him on his knees, somebody help me please

For once I'm lost I don't know where to go

Or where I should be, Lord guide me there

My bike got a flat, my car repossessed and I don't got shit to wear

Cause life's hard

How you livin'? You appreciate this life that you was given?

Are you gonna end it before you gets to see the new beginning?

Now how you livin'? You appreciate this life that you was given?

Are you sinnin' and trippin', bullshittin', losin' and never winnin'?

How you livin'? You appreciate this life that you was given?

Are you gonna end it before you gets to see the new beginning?

Now how you livin'? You appreciate this life that you was given?

Are you sinnin' and trippin', bullshittin', losin' and never winnin'?

Recently, I've been having anxiety attacks

They sent me to the psych ward and said that I need to kick back

And I can't laugh out loud, so I'm dyin' inside

And what it's all about is I'm losin' my mind

Slowly, I used to be my best homie

But nowadays, it's hard for even me to know me

Anymore, what am I, really looking for?

Happiness, or just to exit out the door

They say you gotta pay the cost, to be the boss

Well I paid the cost, and all I am is just lost

Damn it, but good faith I still have it

Looking for a better life, and tryna grab it

But for now I'm living in my own hell

And I only got myself to blame for creating this cell

But I know, one day, I'm gonna escape

Or maybe it's a bad dream, and I'm finally awake

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary or get killed by my enemies?

Cause it ain't easy, being me, being me

C-U-E-T-E

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary or get killed by my enemies?

Cause it ain't easy, being me, being me

C-U-E-T-E
