Bad Situation

You gon' meet a lot of big-mouth liars in this industry before you retire

You just wait and see

Don't admire it, this shit is all make-believe

I'm kinda tired of it all, bout to take my leave

I get inspired by the youth, someone like you

Back up in the booth? Yeah, I'll write a rhyme or two

It's a fine line between that and I don't wanna do it

Nevermind, let me backtrack, now I'm in the mood

I'm irritated and I've got an attitude

Now I'm older and I'm grumpy, so I'm sorry if I'm rude (No I'm not)

Ain't nothin' new, ain't got nothin' to prove

But I still give thanks and I show gratitude

Pay homage to your roots, might learn a thing or two

Or be stubborn, hard-headed, think you knowin' all the rules

Don't slip too soon, you gon' feel like a fool

Now what you gon' do? Well, you don't got a clue

You can't take it, you feel like breakin

You find yourself in a bad situation

You stay patient, you gon' make it

You get yourself out the bad situation

You can't take it, you feel like breakin

You find yourself in a bad situation

You stay patient, you gon' make it

And then you climb out a bad situation

That ain't the half of it

Angry when he had somethin

Laughed all the time, no cares when he had nothin

Quite the paradox, he feels that he's stuck in

With a mismatched pair of socks and a concussion

You can sit there, stare and watch, actin' all tough

Give your best or give up, either way, it ain't enough

That ain't a permanent feelin, you gotta fight it

It burns when you're earnin' it, you might not like it

But you'll get it sorted, everything situated

Even though in the moment you're a little frustrated

That's normal, stay patient, stick to the basics

Remember how you got here, then go ahead and take it

But my advice, only take what you need

Proceed as you must, don't fall into greed

Envy, anger, lust, it's all that you see

Wise men, noble deeds, last of a rare breed

You can't take it, you feel like breakin

You find yourself in a bad situation

You stay patient, you gon' make it

You get yourself out the bad situation

You can't take it, you feel like breakin

You find yourself in a bad situation

You stay patient, you gon' make it

And then you climb out the bad situation
