Artist: Royce Da 5'9" Album: Success Is Certain Song: Merry Go Round Typed by: Nickolye16@aol.com [Chorus] I have tried in vain, 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~! [Royce Da 5'9"] My life's been goin around and round since '95 Went from goin somewhere to 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 a outta-this-world flow to doin a video 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 them stay with me, long story short they tore up my corporate apartment Went from bein a kid addicted to basketball to bein a ignorant nigga addicted to alcohol (addicted to alcohol) Round and round we GO is how this movie would end The self proclaimed king of my city, not really, just truly the king of losin a friend Who woulda thought this dude from the Park that's true to his art would lose? Or win just by givin his thoughts and views (thoughts and views) [Chorus] [Royce Da 5'9"] You would hear that Ryan's skilled, might even hear Ryan kills You would never hear Ryan steals, here to put the "I" 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 of Zion, I done went from high on pills to triumph, to hidin from bills to buyin buildings Then I went from writin for Dre to wonderin if my head was on straight On the sideline feelin forgot about, listenin to "Forgot About Dre" From there I went to about a bottle a day, tellin who WE know "Get outta my face!" 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 gon' beat my ass then me and Em probably wouldn't even be laughin about us gettin past it If it wasn't for me bein outcasted I woulda never been on the underground rappin with (SLAUGHTERHOUSE~!) [Chorus]
