Marsalis Davis - Growing Pains Suck Lyrics

25 living and I still don't get it
Being in this world makes me wanna end it
I done see close friends die from higher tensions
Never thinking bout it twice
Was his whole intention
Wishing that I was there
So I could try to prevent it
No mother wants to continue life
While burying her children
I'm sorry mama for these thoughts
I forgot to mention
But ya son's into deep
I already accepted the consequences

I don't wanna do this anymore
Why show my face
When nobody doesn't notice me
I don't wanna do this anymore
Anyway I gotta get it
Is how I gotta get it
Gotta get it know I gotta get it poppin, yeah
Wipe away the tears
Nobody can stop me yeah
Gotta get it know I gotta get it poppin, yeah
Not a soul fear
Ain't nobody stopping me

I came up, I did it, I conquered yeah
But I still feel trapped in this monster, yeah
Popped a pill emotions of somber here
Scapegoats they linger and wonder here
Praying to the lord hoping that hear me
To endear me knowing that my sins are sickening
Please don't fear
Only asking for some guidance
Be my pilot

Some of my niggas already locked up (I understand)
Some of my niggas already shot up (I pray)
Some of my niggas will never see the day again (Keep ya head up)
Keep ya head

25 living and I still don't get it
Being in this world makes me wanna end it
I done see close friends die from higher tensions
Never thinking bout it twice
Was his whole intention
Wishing that I was there
So I could try to prevent it
No mother wants to continue life
While burying her children
I'm sorry mama for these thoughts
I forgot to mention
But ya son's into deep
I already accepted the consequences

I don't wanna do this anymore
Why show my face
When nobody doesn't notice me
I don't wanna do this anymore
Anyway I gotta get it
Is how I gotta get it
Gotta get it know I gotta get it poppin yeah
Wipe away the tears
Nobody can stop me yeah
Gotta get it know I gotta get it poppin yeah
Not a soul fear
Ain't nobody stopping me

Life be testing
No advised discretion
Crumbling from the pressure
Your atoms are going reckless
Building blocks up to success
But continue struggling with this Tetris
Voodoo needles from anxiety
My soul is being raped from stressing

Shit is crazy in this world
How much it hurt
Put me underneath the earth
Thats what my niggas be telling me
How can I comprehend when they be telling me this
But I let them know that we're on our way
Getting to the money bout to eat the cake, yeah
We gon make it out the city put it on my grave
Okay, you know I'm ten toes down every f*cking day
Yea Yea every f*cking day
And I'm ten toes down every f*cking
Yea Yea every f*cking day
And I'm ten toes down every f*cking
I'm on the way

25 living and I still don't get it
Being in this world makes me wanna end it
I done see close friends die from high tensions
Never thinking bout it twice
Was his whole intention
Wishing that I was there
So I could try to prevent it
No mother wants to continue life
While burying her children
I'm sorry mama for these thoughts
I forgot to mention
But ya son's into deep
I already accepted the consequences

I don't wanna do this anymore
Why show my face
When nobody doesn't notice me
I don't wanna do this anymore
Anyway I gotta get it
Is how I gotta get it
Gotta get it know I gotta get it poppin, yeah
Wipe away the tears
Nobody can stop me yeah
Gotta get it know I gotta get it poppin, yeah
Not a soul fear
Ain't nobody stopping me

25 living and I still don't get it
Being in this world makes me wanna end it
I done see close friends die from high tensions
Never thinking bout it twice
Was his whole intention
Wishing that I was there
So I could try to prevent it
No mother wants to continue life
While burying her children
I'm sorry mama for these thoughts
I forgot to mention
But ya son's into deep
I already accepted the consequences

I don't wanna do this anymore
Why show my face
When nobody doesn't notice me
I don't wanna do this anymore
Anyway I gotta get it
Is how I gotta get it
Gotta get it know I gotta get it poppin, yeah
Wipe away the tears
Nobody can stop me yeah
Gotta get it know I gotta get it poppin, yeah
Not a soul fear
Ain't nobody stopping me

Nobody stopping me
Nobody stopping me
Nobody stopping me
Yeah yeah
