This is a mean old world, try and live it by yourself. I've got the blues, gonna pack my things and go. Sometimes I wonder why can your love be so cold? Can't get the one you love, have to use somebody else. Guess you don't love me, babe, loving mister

And I said someday I'll get my life straight And she said it's too late What's done is done And I told her someday She said I can't wait 'Cause sometimes someday just never comes She looked me in the eye and said it's over I can't take this heartache

I stand alone Feeling your sting down inside me I'm not dying for it Everything that I believe is fading Now I've told you this once before You can't control me If you try to take me down you're gonna break I feel your every nothing that you're doing for

I can't take it man. Hey Nas, hey hey boy, you see what they done did to Jimmy and Lee? Mmmhmm. Damn man. Sho' can't. You think this is gonna eva' change? Man damn this place man! Damn these chains! These damn Chitlins every damn night. This cotton.

Get ready 'cause this is war Everything back and more And I'm not gonna let this go I'm ready to settle the score So what am I fighting for? I'm looking for a better way Some days it just gets so hard And I don't wanna slip away I can't take back all

Every breath you take I watch you slip away You're slowly killing yourself I won't give in I gave you everything Would you stay and listen? I can't let you go, save me please I never thought we would end up like this If my heart could sing, would you

Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice I don't know you But I want you All the more for that Words fall through me And always fool me And I can't react

That you like somebody Wanna hold somebody Why can't we keep it on the sweet side See how it feels to take a slow ride Well, you know how it goes When you meet somebody But you just can't stand To think about somebody

That you like somebody Wanna hold somebody Why can't we keep it on the sweet side See how it feels to take a slow ride Well, you know how it goes When you meet somebody But you just can't stand To think about somebody

'Cause I can't feel my face I won't struggle long In a world so cold In a world so wrong I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long) Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong And I take my life tonight 'cause I have the right to die
