Anybody listening?

Hard sometimes
I'm alone in this world
It's hard sometimes...

I guess not
Cause if they was
They would've heard my pain
Years ago, when I was out there screaming help!
Servin cane and the tears'll flow down my face
Hard not to frown around this place
My homey just went down for eight
My other one just got found in a lake
So I pour the gin, down it straight
Cause liquor's all that cures me
When I'm in this here fucked up mind state
And the whole damn world ignores me
It's like, I ain't trippin y'all
Just sippin more and sippin hard
I cook it soft
I cut it raw
I hit the block and flip it all
I been locked in juvie hall
I been locked in the county jail
For a trunk gun charge and possession for sales
They held your boy without no bail
And I'm knowin they hoping I'm next to fail
Which cat is next to tell?
Snitchin muthafuckas in my community
Better be next to bail or catch the next of shells
I've been livin next to hell for so long
The difference between is one and the real one I can't tell
I light the blunt, inhale, exhale
Then get to whisperin
Just rapping to myself
Cause ain't nobody the fuck else listening

Is anybody listening?
Is anybody listening?
I'm all alone in this world
So hard
Anybody listening? Is anybody listening??
I'm all alone in this world
Is anybody listening?
Is anybody, anybody, anybody listening?
I'm alone in this world
Anybody listenin'?
Is anybody listening?
I'm all alone in this world...

Tryin to hold on in these last days man
I can't keep my grip cause most of the time
These brothers ain't carin about jack
So there's no tomorrow
The horrors of the after life
Feelin like I'm already in hell
Done died twice
Stabbed in the back with a knife
These brothers was trifling
Shootin off at the mouth
Like they didn't hear the G speak
It makes no difference
This is my life
Ain't gotta be blowed out the pipe
The situation crack
The reason why my daddy never came back
To be the man of the house
I'm on my own with all the doubt
How would I make it out without no father figure?
So I ran with the other thug niggas
Became slash drug dealers
Can't rest my head on no pillow
Dazed by Sleepy Hollow
A world full of danger
I'm no stranger at the crime scene
Investigators all in my program
Cause I got off in that Brougham
Don't know the 'Rip who knockin at my door
I ain't never been the type to live the slow-life
Now they don't understand me no more
So we can't communicate, went through it on my own
That's why I can't pick up the phone
No one know what's goin on...
No one know what's goin on...

Is anybody listening?
Is anybody, anybody, anybody listening?
I'm all alone in this world
Anybody, anybody...
Anybody listening?
Is anybody? anybody? anybody?
I'm all alone in this world
Anybody? anybody?
Is anybody listening?
Oh, I just wanna know
I'm alone in this world
Have I got somebody's attention?
Anybody listening?
Are you listening to me?
I'm all alone in this world
All alone, oh

I been stridin and tryin to do these music thang
Since 85', 86'
Nowadays it's about the paper chase
But when I first started
It was just for kicks
That's what I'm talkin about
It ain't easy tryin to be a billionaire
When everyday yellin but my day closer to death
Lovin every breath
No time to spare
But I ain't lookin for sympathy
Gods strength done blessed the hell out of me
My momma's alive, got a baby on the way
Got a job while I'm getting paid to save
Your parents had it harder than what you do
So what you cryin about?
These little things that you goin through
Ain't nothing to be talkin bout dying about
But that's what life is
You here to learn so take your lumps
And while you drivin on a high with a life through stress and stripes
It's straight speed bumps
Slow you role
Take that bump easy and mash the gas
Solvent road ahead
Watch for the po-po's, just don't look back
Playboy 7!
And I'm out, I'm done, I'll see ya
We ain't never met and probably never will
But homey trust me, I feel ya
So yeah, I'm listening
And naw homey, you ain't alone
But see, I can't solve your problems
That's up to you
That's apart of livin life
That's apart of being grown

Is anybody listening?
Oh is anybody listening to me, are you?
I'm all alone in this world
Anybody listening?
Is anybody listening?
I'm all alone in this world
Anybody listening?
Is anybody listening?
We all make mistakes sometimes
I'm alone in this world
Nobody...
Anybody listening?
Nobody's listening...
I'm all alone in this world...
