Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I could get over that hump
Then maybe I will feel better
Maybe I won't fall
If I could get over that hump
Then maybe I will
[Verse 2]
Oh Lord, Lord knows I'm
Lord knows I'm tryin'
Said, I'm tired, ooh
Of this shit
This dope
But it make it better, oh
But it's dragging me lower, ooh, hey
And I know it, just, ooh
Lord knows, but if I
[Verse 3]
If I could get over that hump
Then maybe I will feel better
Maybe I won't fall
I won't
If I could get over that hump
Then maybe I will
[Verse 4]
I just, I just want to fly away
Far, far away
Oh-oh
I'm living
Check to check
Just trying to pay my rent
And I can feel it
Coming down around me and these children
A boy, a little girl and
She's so pretty
Ooh, feel me?
We just need a bigger house
Hope it come with a spouse
This building, building, ooh-ooh
My brother's sleeping on my floor
A bitch could use a little more, yeah, yeah
If I could get over that hump
Then maybe I will feel better
Maybe I won't fall
If I
If I could get over
[Instrumental]
Since
We are lying here
Know I want, I want, I want you, boo, to know
I ain't never done dope to cope
Only a smoked a joint or two
Betwixt me and you, boy
I know people that do it
Day and night and night and day
Day and night
And night and day
(And day and night and day and night)
But I can't judge nobody
'Cause what if it was you?
What if it was you?
Bring it back, I said
What if it was you?
You
[Verse 5]
Lord knows, I'm
Lord knows I'm trying
Ooh, said I'm tired, yeah, oh
Of this dope, ooh
Tired of this dope
Of this dope
Tired of this dope
Oh, this dope, mm
