Jadakiss – Gov't Cheese lyrics
[Intro: Jadakiss]
One thing about pain, pain is universal
It don't matter how much money you got
It don't  matter how bad your financial situation is
Pain is the one thing that everybody in the world can relate to
You can't run from it
You can't escape it
It's really a part of life
It's all about how you deal with it
Them decisions you make on how you deal with it will determine just how bad your next experience with pain will be
And that's a fact

[Chorus: Dej Loaf]
Sometimes, I ask the lord, "Is this my calling?"
So many days, I feel like it's falling
Momma said pray (Pray), you got the devil on you
Gotta clean your spirit 'cause your past is tryin' to haunt you
I was gettin' so high, I couldn't even function (Yeah)
If you don't want to die, you gotta do somethin'
So many nights I cried, early in the morning (Yeah)
Yeah, you gotta do somethin'
Sometimes, I ask the lord, "Is this my calling?"
So many days, I feel like it's falling
Momma said pray (Pray), you got the devil on you
Gotta clean your spirit 'cause your past is tryin' to haunt you
I was gettin' so high, I couldn't even function (Yeah)
If you don't want to die, you gotta do somethin'
So many nights I cried, early in the morning (Yeah)
Yeah, you gotta do somethin'

[Verse 1: Nino Man]
(Nino Man)
In my crib, it wasn't food snacks or bet
Just a old ass tv and ebt (Shit)
No cable, just a bootleg dvd
I quit school and got my ged (I'm on)
And went straight to the block
Started trapping, momma said she ain't got it
Reason why these niggas wild, 'cause it ain't shit in their wallet (Gang)
While these niggas moving foul, I'm tryna get a deposit
How you broke but think you gettin' it popping (Nah)
And these niggas be chilling
Waste of time but they think they be living
Out their mind, who they think they be kidding (Who?)
Gotta make a decision
Find a drive, then go make a collision (Skrt)
I would die for this shit that I visioned
Most of these niggas is lame
They chasing waves lookin' like big phonies
Lost in the sauce, calling young niggas, 'Big homie'
Glove or [?], look at this big. 40
People got their hand out that never did shit for it

[Chorus: Dej Loaf]
Sometimes, I ask the lord, "Is this my calling?"
So many days, I feel like it's falling
Momma said pray (Pray), you got the devil on you
Gotta clean your spirit 'cause your past is tryin' to haunt you
I was gettin' so high, I couldn't even function (Yeah)
If you don't want to die, you gotta do somethin'
So many nights I cried, early in the morning (Yeah)
Yeah, you gotta do somethin'

[Verse 2: Millyz]
Look, Codeine in my liver, feeling disconnected
Reaching out to God, but he ain't get the message (No)
Waking up at noon, cigarette for breakfast
Momma said I'm living reckless, [?] got the crib infested (Momma)
They think this rap shit lit
Drinking heavy 'cause I seen my man [?] get twist
In my city, all that dope running rampant
The youngin's od before the plug get to stamp it, goddamnit
Henny in my body, got my liver too (Faded)
If brodie [?] the pole, then that's a business move
They don't remember what you did, just what you didn't do (Never)
You think you know but you don't know the shit we living through
Shit, I've been out my mind since my brother died
Eyes rolled to the back in his head, staring above the sky

[?] couldn't make him come alive

[?] on the other side, reaper's on the lullaby

[Chorus: Dej Loaf]
Sometimes, I ask the lord, "Is this my calling?"
So many days, I feel like it's falling
Momma said pray (Pray), you got the devil on you
Gotta clean your spirit 'cause your past is tryin' to haunt you
I was gettin' so high, I couldn't even function (Yeah)
If you don't want to die, you gotta do somethin'
So many nights I cried, early in the morning (Yeah)
Yeah, you gotta do somethin'

[Verse 3: Jadakiss]
They say the biggest part of life is accepting your role (Know that)
And everything is on sale, except for your soul (Uhuh)
And everything is reachable except for you goals
It's just pain, no love (No love), no X's and O's
Had to cover up the moue holes (Mm)
Drugs in the household (Uhuh)
Sneakers too tight, you had to wear 'em without soles (Facts)
Sleeping with a sweatsuit on 'cause the house cold (Freezin' in here)
Searching through the loaf to find the bread without mould
Intro's done, I'm just working on the outro
Bank account is on steroids now, about gold
They know I could buy it, they give it to me, that's a clout goal
Although I'm successful, I can't figure this shit out though (Can't figure this shit out)
Had to open my mid for me to free it (Uh)
It wasn't designed for me to be here (Nah)
They don't understand me, the union is similar to Soviet
If you look in my eyes you could see it, something's wrong, yeah

[Chorus: Dej Loaf]
Sometimes, I ask the lord, "Is this my calling?"
So many days, I feel like it's falling
Momma said pray (Pray), you got the devil on you
Gotta clean your spirit 'cause your past is tryin' to haunt you
I was gettin' so high, I couldn't even function (Yeah)
If you don't want to die, you gotta do somethin'
So many nights I cried, early in the morning (Yeah)
Yeah, you gotta do somethin'

[Outro: Dej Loaf]
So much pain in my body, I had to do something
I had to do something
Take a little pain, storms in the rain
They say, when life give you lemons you gotta make lemonade
Yeah, they say, when life give you lemons you gotta make lemonade
They say, when life give you lemons you gotta.... Fuck that
They say, when life give you lemons you gotta make lemonade
They say, when life give you lemons you gotta
