[Verse 1]
Why do I do the things I do?
Lying is a necessary evil, true
Fell asleep listening to Aquemini, calming
Always dug Big Boi, never liked Andre
I got my football pads
Helmet on, all I′m missing is a dad
Great things don't last
Well, I′m living with a broken heart
Tell me, who gon' be my cast?
Who will be my hospital?
Who will even ask?
I'm the sad n***a story which no one ever cast
No one ever tells me ′cause no one ever asked
Critical observations from a plant seed
Life′s hard, my God, change me
'Cause the deranged me
Will never ever make it in this industry
I need guidance
Latrine, queen crown Poseidon

[Verse 2]
It′s funny how the place where you shit at
Makes you think about where you going and where you been at
So, like Forrest, I came back for my Jodie Foster
Because I couldn't live if I lost her
So, here I be′s in the flesh
'Cause all I really need is a MAC and a check
I think too much, I think too much
She said how much you want, and I think too much
But I say far less than what I had imagined
Fairytale anthem, go home, play Madden
And it saddens me, to think that you could ever stay mad at me
I know things, bad things
Cue the tears, hold the sad strings
[Verse 3]
The words of a n***a who can′t cope
Born to a family of dope, and so I sniff
'Cause life's hard sometimes
And the only thing that helps is a whiff
One line for your mind
Two lines ′cause I′m broke, but I'm trying
Need guidance
I′m swimming in that water, but I ain't Poseidon

[Outro]
I believe in a God that would hear me
I believe in a God that could hear me
I believe in a God that can hear me
And the only thing he says is to fear me
[Instrumental]
