I was way too far out in the world
but I still put on for my city
I was handin out too much milk money
too much kitten, and ass, and titties
I lost my voice like a pastor
Faster than a Harlem shimmy
But I guess that s what you get
for tryin to make heartbreak pretty
Uh, they say, Life s a bitch
(They say, Life s a bitch )
And then you die (And then you die)
So please, if you re pennin
my eulogy, just say I tried
And that s word to Phineas, Jess and Si
And if I don t wake up in Heaven
then it was one hell of a ride
Yeah, yeah
If I don t wake up in Heaven, it was one hell of a ride
A hell of a ride

Uh, Momma said money can t buy me happiness
So I copped a G5, tried to fly myself up next to it
I fucked up some commas just to dot-dot-dot
where s the rest of it?
This what clean look like when clean
took life and made a mess of it
Had to realize I m just blessed to it
You can t take it all with you
but you can remember the best of it
I pray for peace within myself and no more regrets with it
Cause when I looked at my soul
in the Mississippi, it reflected it
And if you know me, you re right next to it
I m everything you thought I was
I m everything I thought I was
It was everything I thought it was
It was everything I thought it was
