|
They say "Luda, would you rather have the money or the fame?" and I steady try to tell 'em that it all just depends |
|
Cause every time I make a little more money I seem to be losin' more of my friends |
|
So I'd give it all up to repeat life over and they'd say "Dude is a fool" |
|
I can't trust another mother****** livin' in this world and this really got me losin' my cool |
|
What would you'd do if you were in my situation and the minute everyone you ever loved to say you looked up? |
|
You drink your pain to the bottom of a bottle and the Conjure would have you ****** up |
|
So I'm lookin' for love in all the wrong places, pop pills, drink liquor by the cases |
|
Get high, make a woman get low, in the strip club lookin' for familiar faces |
|
People know me on a first name basis but all they ever really want's my cash |
|
"Let me borrow just a couple hundred dollars and you know that I'm a pay you back", my ass |
|
This world so superficial, this world done lost my trust |
|
They say "Ludacris, you changin'" but I really don't give a ******! |
|
What the hell am I suppose to think? What the hell am I suppose to do? |
|
I'm hearin' that the Devil's in disguise and I'm hearin' that the ****** look just like you |
|
They know I walk throw the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I don't go astray |
|
And I get down on my knees and pray and I say |
|
[Chorus - Cee-Lo Green (Ludacris):] |
|
(Okay, okay, okay) I wish my problems would go away |
|
(Okay, okay, okay) I wish my problems would go away, away, away |
|
Wish my problems would go away, away, away |
|
Doc say I need to change my diet, cause I really not eatin' right |
|
Mama said I need some peace and quite, cause I'm really not sleepin' right |
|
What's the use of havin' all the money and the power in the world if I can't abuse it? |
|
Seems like the, only thing that's, keepin' me together is my music |
|
If it wasn't for that I think I would lose it; if it wasn't for that I would go crazy |
|
When nobody went good on they word and the industry'd make you feel like ****** you pay me |
|
Cause I gotta feed family, some of the same ones that abandoned me |
|
that still lookin' for a hand out 'til you found out that there ain't ************t ya handed me |
|
Hah, still mad at me? But I'm tryin' to be the man I plan to be |
|
But can't do it if you callin' me for dumb ************t, thinkin' I'm innocent, I'ma plea insanity (ohh!) |
|
Too many distractions, and it feels like everyday |
|
So I get down on my knees and pray and I say |
|
[Chorus] |
|
I finally made it to the top of the CEO position |
|
But when things don't go their way, these artists got all these suspicions |
|
So the ************ keep me at peace and I think I need an intervention |
|
Who the ****** put me in charge of makin' all of these decisions? |
|
My position got me stressin' like it never did before |
|
Not to mention my best friend drowned and Death was knockin' at his door |
|
And it seems like someone in my family is passin' away like everyday |
|
So I just look up to the sky and get on my knees and pray and I SAY!! |
|
[Chorus] |
