Lonnie Willis - figure.me.out Lyrics

It's like they tryna figure me out, they were wavin' at me
Now they flickin me off, this ain't the first time I done took me a loss
Everybody wanna be a boss, but don't know the cost
Do I know my way around
I say no, I be goin' through a lot they don't even know
Only one way up when you stack from the floor
I kinda like it from the ground, oh
Yeah, this life stuff ain't never been easy, can't do by myself, so I keep my folks with me
A lot of them done switched up and it really didn't please me
Gotta keep your mental strong, can't be off the heezy
They went out and got that chrome, really turned to pick me
I must've missed all the signs, really gettin' slippery
I tried to show them the way, now they out to get me
They used to stand with me, now they stand against me
It's like they tryna figure me out, they were wavin' at me, now they flickin me off
This ain't the first time I done took me a loss
Everybody wanna be a boss, but don't know the cost
Do I know my way around
I say no I be goin' through a lot, they don't even know
There's only one way up when you stack from the floor
I kinda like it from the ground
