[Verse 1: DTTX]
Mama wanna play by the rules, G
Gets out the pin, boy you looking healthy
Wanna live large, take charge, that's priority
Who's the man in front of me, who's my authority
Get past that and live another day
Walked the wrong way, uhh... your family went the other way
Gots to be down and stops clowning
Girl I did my dirt, bitch you did your dirty
Skirt to the next episode, tell me, tell me
What going down, are still my buddy or just another bosa
Let me now, I gotta go, hit my next flow
And then I'm out the door
And as a matter a fact, I'm feeling shady
I think I'm going crazy, uhh, the room just faded me
Best thinking to get a grip or else I'm gonna pass out
Or better yet, I'm gonna blackout
[Chorus]
(Male) Don't wanna be wrong but I rather live my life strong
Cause we are gonna be happy
(Female) And you know it's gonna take some time to get it right
(Male) I'm losing my mind, no more wasting precious time
(We're gonna be happy)
(Female) So I gotta do what I gotta do
[Verse 2: DTTX & ODM]
I'm in jail cause I'm a sinner
I only wanna be a winner
But I'm broke
I'm living in a blackout stage and it ain't no joke
But see I'm innocent, the judge won't believe me
I gotta get out because my family says they need me
How does it feel when you got no wheels
I can't take care about my family, now my son wants to dope-deal
Heaven help him or rather wheres my bail
Cause roaming with a crew like that, he'll end up in jail
Like his father and that won't make him a better person
It's like a plot that only worsens
Now wife claims I'm cheating on her all the time
All men ain't perfect but I swear that baby ain't mine
Now she's struggling surviving on her own
But she's got my three kids and now daddy's home alone
Now I gots to gets my life back together
No doubt (Echo)
Here comes the blackout
[Chorus]
(Male) I don't wanna be wrong but I rather live my life strong
Cause we're gonna be happy
(Female) And you know it's gonna take some time to get it right
(Male) I'm losing my mind, no more wasting precious time
(We're gonna be happy)
(Female) So I gotta do what I gotta do
[Verse 3: DTTX]
Now I'm living my life that of a bad one
Ain't never had none so I out to gets mine
Had to struggle in the process
It's getting deep and there ain't no time for sleep
To many things running through my mind
Walking on a thin line and ain't nothing kind
I feeling like I'm gonna pass out
Riding that wrong route, steady headed for the blackout
I stole the streets a little hard head, down for the stealing
But never down for the killing
Moms working hard, doing what she's able
Stressing trying to put my food on the table
But me, my sista, my brotha, we miss our father
Father's locked away, will he stay
Hopefully not so he'll hear my holla
To come back in one piece
So while a single, single parent crap will just sleep
[Chorus]
(Male) I don't wanna be wrong but I rather live my life strong
Cause we're gonna be happy
(Female) And you know it's gonna take some time to get it right
(Male) I'm losing my mind, no more wasting precious time
(We're gonna be happy)
(Female) So I gotta do what I gotta do
(Male) I don't wanna be wrong but I rather live my life strong
Cause were gonna be happy
(Female) And you know it's gonna take some time to get it right
(Male) I'm losing my mind
No more wastin precious time (We re gonna be happy)
(Female) So I gotta do what I gotta do
(Male) Don't want to be wrong but I rather live my life strong
(Female) What I got to do, what I got to do, it's gonna take some time to get it right
