|
I have tried in vein
|
Never had success
|
So it seems my life is nothing but a mess
|
I have lost, my only friends
|
Now it seems I have to start again
|
MERRY GO ROUND
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
My lifes been goin around a€?n' round since '95
|
Went from goin where about to die
|
Went from callin' my chick a chicken cause she look like she got poultry around her thighs
|
To callin' your piece a chicken cause she got no teeth and she got crow feet, around her eyes
|
How hard are y'all? I got a heart the size of Arkansas
|
Count to five, these birds gon' hit the ground and they ain't from out the sky
|
Went from havin' an outta-this-world-flow, to doin' the pity, or doin' the coon dance
|
To watchin' my good friend Eminem winnin' a moonman
|
I remember cause I was in New York with all of my boys to start shit
|
Lettin' a€?em stay with me, long story short, they tore my corporate apartment
|
Went from bein a kid addicted to basketball
|
To bein an ignorent nigga addicted to alcohol
|
Round and round we go is how this movie would end
|
Self-proclaimed King of my city, not really just truely the King of losin' a friend
|
Who would've thought this goof in the park whos true to his ark would lose
|
Or win just by givin' his thoughts a€?n' views
|

[Verse 2]
|
You would hear that Ryan's skilled
|
Might even hear Ryan kills
|
You will never hear Ryan Stiles
|
Here to put the a€œIa€? in ill
|
My mind is still
|
Like a merry-go-round spill
|
Like leavin' only guns to my kids when I'm killed
|
I got an iron will
|
Intellect as ion [?], I went from high on pills
|
To triumph, to hidin' from bills, to buyin buildin's
|
Then I went from writin' for Dre
|
To wonderin' if my head was on straight on the sidelines
|
Feelin' I forgot about listenin' to a€œForgot About Drea€?
|
From there I went to about a bottle a day
|
Tellin' who we know a€œGet outta my face!a€? okay I know what Kino said about Dre
|
I look at Kino to this day like that was a stupid mistake
|
But if it wasn't for him doin that, what would I be doin today?
|
If it wasn't for Ca$his sayin' that he gonna beat my ass
|
Then me and Em prob'ly wouldn't be laughin bout us gettin past it
|
If it wasn't for me bein outcasted I woulda never been on the underground rappin wit SLAUGHTERHOUSE!
