It Could Be Worse (feat. Makabi & Sc Jesse)

I know the stress can kill you, trust me I feel you
But it can be worse, so much worse
I know these streets can kill you, trust me I feel you
But it can be worse, so much worse

I was stressed out to the max, wall on my back
If I can't trust you, then where my trust at
Got me fading in the black, like fuck that
Especially when my family and friends crossing the tracks
Along with the loyal, everything's spoiled
We supposed to be royal, we slipping like oil
How can you call yourself a king and not know what it mean
Gotta calculate decisions and know the drama they bring and me
I'd rather starve before I sleep with my enemies
When I'm wrong, say I'm wrong, ain't no one defending me
Protecting my integrity, holding on to dignity
Feeling like fuck the world if they ain't feeling me
For me and you, this is more than a song
It's healing all my wounds and making us more strong
I can never play it long, but I can promise you this
If you need it and I got it, ain't nothing you can't get

Everyday hurdles I'm facing, keep my mind racing
When I feel that enough's been taken, it could be worse
Just the Thought alone hurts, but what's life worth
Before I give up, I think it could be worse
Everyday hurdles I'm facing, keep my mind racing
When I feel that enough's been taken, it could be worse
Just the Thought alone hurts, but what's life worth
Before I give up, I think it could be worse

It's like the pain don't stop, year round round the clock
But submit, I would never, to living I'm not
Navigating through time, clearing hurdles as they rise
Ears tapped in to the doubt, looking haters in they eyes
I'm confused but not surprised
The question is why, but anyway
I got bigger fish to fry
Foreseeing breaches in my circle
Hoping that ain't what the future hold
But if it is, let it be
Cause I never broke code
Business or personal, family or social
Digital or face to face, long distance or local
Daily clearing out, cutting drama out my scene
Thankful for the true and loyal members of my team
When I'm beefing with my family, the crew or my lady
Angry and fed up, being called crazy
Funds slow, tension high, keep my head to the sky
I could dwell on the stress, but why

Everyday hurdles I'm facing, keep my mind racing
When I feel that enough's been taken, it could be worse
Just the Thought alone hurts, but what's life worth
Before I give up, I think it could be worse
Everyday hurdles I'm facing, keep my mind racing
When I feel that enough's been taken, it could be worse
Just the Thought alone hurts, but what's life worth
Before I give up, I think it could be worse

It could be worse
Know you're worth
I know it hurts
It could be worse
Know you're worth
I know it hurts
Don't give up
It could be worse

I know the stress can kill you, trust me I feel you
But it can be worse, so much worse
I know these streets can kill you, trust me I feel you
But it can be worse, so much worse

Everyday hurdles I'm facing, keep my mind racing
When I feel that enough's been taken, it could be worse
Just the Thought alone hurts, but what's life worth
Before I give up, I think it could be worse
Everyday hurdles I'm facing, keep my mind racing
When I feel that enough's been taken, it could be worse
Just the Thought alone hurts, but what's life worth
Before I give up, I think it could be worse

I know the stress can kill you, trust me I feel you
But it can be worse, so much worse
I know these streets can kill you, trust me I feel you
But it can be worse, so much worse
