Royce Da 5'9" - Merry Go Round lyrics

rate me

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

My lifes been goin around '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' '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 'n' views

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

You would hear that Ryan's skilled

Might even hear Ryan kills

You will never hear Ryan Stiles

Here to put the "I" in I'll

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 "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 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!

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
