It’s Complicated
Goddamnit Dupri

[Verse 1]
In the middle of the sewer, in a septic tank
In the heart of the ghetto, where the streets stink
Where you from you know you can't be no chump
Everybody know you can put the order and over funk
We dont play checkers no more, we play tunk
We keep it on us, it ain't no going to the trunk
It ain't no free throw or a lay-up is a dunk
They leave you swamped, it's a home run, it's not a bunt
Grit my teeth over my temple piece and back and forth
A stressed out soil child in the ? jumped up off a porch
Every Sunday with the church and play sports
Probably ? but didn't have any ressources
So many trials and tribulations and hurdles and obstacles to overcome
And in the slums there's no handouts, when it is it's only crumbs
It's sad when you're overlooked, underrated, underappreciated, underestimated
But highly favored it's complicated

[Chorus: E40 & Stresmatic]
We here but we hate it, ain't nobody made it
Trying to get up out of the ghetto when updated
Everybody hooked on something and getting faded
What is ?! It's complicated (complicated)
We here but we hate it, ain't nobody made it
Trying to get up out of the ghetto when updated
Everybody hooked on something and getting faded
What is ?! It's complicated
[Verse 2]
The doberman is off the leash
Can't even shoot a video in peace
They rob before you were ? it, pull out the heat
In the broad daylight in front of the police
It ain't no consequences, it ain't no peace
Catastrophic moments happen daily
Everybody numb to violence lately
Its hard to trust somebody, everybody shady
The pistol will whip a lady even if she eighty
It's complicated and crucial man every day is a funeral
And the candle light vigil can't be square as a cubical
Can't be soft as a cuticle, bring the noise like a musical
Man it's ugly not beautiful
Know your family and watch the worth that you say
Y'all got to same flesh and blood, and y'all got the same DNA (huh)
Be cautious when you leave out the club, they'll follow you where you stay
They'll pull up on you, on your driveway (ha)

[Chorus: E40 & Stresmatic]
We here but we hate it, ain't nobody made it
Trying to get up out of the ghetto when updated
Everybody hooked on something and getting faded
What is ?! It's complicated (complicated)
We here but we hate it, ain't nobody made it
Trying to get up out of the ghetto when updated
Everybody hooked on something and getting faded
What is ?! It's complicated
