[Chorus]I can't go on like thisKnowing that I'm just getting byCan't go on like thisKnowing that I'm just getting high[Verse 1]Well, I wake upAround ten in the morningFeeling crazy, feeling [on it]From the night before cause I was upTill four in the morning plus someSo I take long tripAnd then I take out my song scriptsWhen I sit down to writeI always look to God to help me see the lightBut I know, that I ain't even livin' rightAnd I know, that I can't live by the nightBut it's so hard for me just to put it downSo hard for me to pass up the crownWhen it's been passed downI'm sitting on the throneSometimes I feel in this world I've just been thrownNot been showing it, and I don't knowWhen to slow it down[Chorus]I can't go on like thisKnowing that I'm just getting byCan't go on like thisKnowing that I'm just getting highBut this is the life, life, life, lifeThe lifeThis is the life, life, the life, life, the lifeThis is the life, life, the life, life, the lifeThey tell me it's the life, life, the life, life, the life[Verse 2]Once again, I hit the hot spot with my so-called friendsThen I hit the ATM and then realize I ain't got no endsThen I call up my kin, hey, my money goingI'm standing at the bar but the drinks quit flowingStrap for gas sitting on the blockDrunk as hell tryna 'void the damn copsAnd this is how it is sometimes when you fall off trackLike when your record's stretched and you try to run it backBut sometimes the stretch got to deep an impactIt makes it so hard for you not to look backRegretting things you did in the pastI wake up in the morning tell myself it won't lastBut I tend to get another glass, then IStart to act just like an ass, then I[Chorus]
