My eyes are getting older
My world is getting colder
As I lie upon the sofa, thinking of ways to get by
Maybe I shouldn't bother
But Lord knows I just try harder
Even though it makes my heart hurt, starting to feel like..
I can't do this for long
Can't do this for long
Can't do this any longer
Maybe I shouldn't be trying
Can't do this for long
Can't do this for long
Can't do this any longer
Maybe I shouldn't be trying
My mother was a liar
She said I'd be inspired
But my bills just getting higher, still thinking of ways to get by
All day I'm on my feet now
Working and losing sleep now
But the babies gotta eat now, starting to feel like..
I can't do this for long
Can't do this for long
Can't do this any longer
Maybe I shouldn't be trying
Can't do this for long
Can't do this for long
Can't do this any longer
Maybe I shouldn't be trying
Lord knows that I don't wanna, slang
Pillows of Marijuana, put
These girls up on the corner, but I'm thinking of ways to get by
So it's time to pull a lick now
Whose gonna be my vic(victim) now?
Cuz I'm taking every risk now, starting to feel like..
I can't do this for long
Can't do this for long
Can't do this any longer
Maybe I shouldn't be trying
Can't do this for long
Can't do this for long
Can't do this any longer
Maybe I shouldn't be trying

A-1 (Rap)

A Bay Area rapper who rose to internet fame following his 2010 release of After School Special, a nostalgic mixtape with artful lyrics from popular television shows from the late 80s and the 90s when Adam was a kid.

Since then, he has remained an underground rapper, while not signing with any major labels and being his own promoter. Though many have joined him on his journey to stardom, he still has a long way to go before he will be acknowledged by the hip-hop elite.
