Askin' for space, I give my leg for it I've reached a point, it's like I beg for it
I give my sweat and tears, damn, I bled for it No one would bet
that you would lose me like that No one would guess I had the strength to fall back
* Now all I want is peace and quiet For peace and mind, yeah
Peace and time, yeah, yeah
** While I'm grievin' uh, oh Grievin' us I'm still grievin' uh, oh Grievin' us
*** The option was to stay and ride Or to let it die
I picked a side, now I'm just grievin' uh, oh Grievin' us
You just can't slow it down, drink too much, can't pour it out
It's a merry-go-round from sun-up to sundown
You want me to stay here, mother all your sons now
This shit ain't no fun now, I just think it's funny how
Funny how you made me feel that Turn around and made me feel bad
Name a bitch patient like that Name a bitch to cater like that
( * , ** )
Well, I can understand how you Would be attracted to me
Me, an ashtray for your habits You, a moon to my sea
Well, me, the juice to your squeeze And you a stone I would keep
In the best room of the palace And pretend it could weep
No one has ever given so many chances as I have (No one has ever)
No one was ever given as many chances as I have
