Rickie B. - It's on Us (feat. Kiing Lavon)

Man
I been stressing all night
Trynna see how imma make ends meet
Got my manhood shook
Can't support my own woman and
Rent was due last week
I Promised I'd never be like that guy
Who talked heavy
Yet his whole action was misery
Like Missouri she keep saying
I need you to show me better
But my procrastination
Was the reason we couldn't eat
I swear
Dang
She still here
Her situation ain't no better than me
And I keep telling her
Have patience with me
Yet I fail to realize
That her patience will never leave
But once she fell in love
She saw the potential in me
To
Be the provider I always needed to be
Two years later
She still helping me with what I need
But we both in Reno struggling
All over one degree (AH)
BUT ONCE I GET IT
I PROMISE I'LL THE M.A.N
BE ON THE CLOCK SO MUCH
YOU'D THINK I'D GET MORE
HOURS THAN A MANAKIN
STACK THIS PAPER UP
JUST ENOUGH SO WE CAN
GET THE HECK OUTTA HERE
MOVE TO HOUSTALANTAVEGAS
L.A. (And then I'll broke again)
I'm playing
Or am I
That big dream
Was dwindling through my chaos
Can't even keep a check
Right now for the life of me
So how I'm supposed to know
My future won't be as frightening
Slightly
Got this feelin' this college life will go
Quietly down hill
Droppin' out don't seem so bad
Then factor my own dad
Flyin' out to end my life
With his bare hands
Death should never end like that
So Never mind though
You see I've been up on this couch
For a while though
Found the motivation
To get on my grind
But I barely did that
I broke my knee now I'm physically
And mentally disabled at that
See life will never go wrong
In the terms of it paying you back
I Guess I gotta do more for her
Make moves even though this pain
Is similar to a Kings fan
When Horry hit that shot against Sac
From way back
My girl's getting sick of the boy
I even considered leaving
To make it easier for her
But no way I couldn't bargain
Though the ocean plentiful
I am just way too selfish
Like a seafood market
These eyes catapult disdain
Deprived by the reality
Of how broke I am in multiple ways
Fiddling with my own flesh when
I remembered the quote
Yo character's defined by how well
You can conquer yo brain
Said It's on us (On us)
Why is everything on us?
Said it's on Us (On us)
Why am I feeling so stuck?
Said it's on us (On us)
Man why is everything on Us?
My situations been so stagnant
I can't seem to get up out of this funk
Said It's on Us
On Us
Let's play the blame game man
It ain't my fault
Said it's on Us
On Us
But once you play the blame game
You have already lost
Said it's on Us (On Us)
Why is everything on Us?
Why's Everything On Us?
Why's Everything On Us?
Man
F this feeling
F this life
I'm tired of living
Tired of trying
It's too hard
My girls too good I don't deserve her
Bills done piled it's my fault
I've been injured, I've considered
Actin out on all these thoughts
Where is God? Where's the bond?
Get Me out
Out of this feeling
Out this city
Change my thoughts
This ain't me
You've gon too far
Pick yourself up
Grow some heart
I had to tell myself in order to grow
You need this pressure
Like you under a rock
No Patrick Star
But reconsider the thought
More like a diamond
Covered up in a box
Eventually you'll shine
So grow some balls and get out
Of these negative thoughts
You can't progress in life
Until make an effort to start
(Yea)
Yup
So I'm finna make an effort to start
I can't get comfortable
With all this restin' weight in my heart
I ain't mean to take an advantage
Of us bein' together
I can't imagine what would happened
If I tore us apart, but I know
All feelin' getting lost
Lately, I've been getting numb
I know that it ain't yo fault
And I just been feelin' dumb
My actions are what it cost
I promise that I'm the one
Priorities getting lost
And I know that I was told
Not to give up
I started my bad habits
I said that I'd make it count
I'm working on mathematics
This ain't what you're use to
I promise the bad chapter
Can clear up soon
And then so will the bad static
Ironic
Love makin' me feel like a crack addict
But I don't mean in literal
I'm talking just in general
And everything around me
Crashing down in my peripheral
I'm getting it together
Ain't no choice because it's critical
I'm
I'm starting to feel so different
World so cold
And now that it get me shiverin'
I can't ignore the pressure
It's overwhelming my innocence
Took me to my knees
Feeling like I'm tearin' a ligament
It's damaging
Opportunities done got to vanishing
Seen my open wounds and told em
I don't need the bandages
My father always told me not to
Block all my blessings
But now it's all on me to figure out
And learn from my lessons (King)
Said It's on us (On us)
Why is everything on us?
Said it's on Us (On us)
Why am I feeling so stuck?
Said it's on us (On us)
Man Why is everything on Us?
My situations been so stagnant
I can't seem to get up out of this funk
Said It's on Us
On Us
Let's play the blame game man
It ain't my fault
Said it's on Us
On Us
But once you play the blame game
You have already lost
Said it's on Us (On Us)
Why is everything on Us?
Why's Everything On Us?
Why's Everything On Us?
