[Verse 1]
I got a mansion
Surrounded by gates
Maybach and a Rolls Royce
Sitting in my driveway
Got a big old yacht
Made of gold and cherry wood
Now you may look at me and think that everything is good
Well I may be smiling like I;m having a good time
But if you look in my eyes you'll see way down deep inside

[Chorus]
I'm sufferin'
(Sufferin')
I'm sufferin'
(Sufferin')
I'm sufferin'
(Sufferin')
Oh yeah
(Sufferin')
I got everything a man could want
But ever since my baby's been gone
I've been sufferin'

[Verse 2]
Well I got so much land
I tell you I could build a city
I been around the world and partied with woman that show up pretty
There's been times when my luck couldn't get no better
But though my sun may shine I got stormy weather
Well I may be smiling like I;m having a good time
But if you look in my eye you see way down deep inside

[Chorus]
I'm sufferin'
(Sufferin')
I'm sufferin'
(Sufferin')
I'm sufferin'
(Sufferin')
Oh yeah
(Sufferin')
I got everything a man could want
But ever since my baby's been gone
I've been sufferin'

[Verse 3]
Hey I got a private jet
Take me anywhere I wanna go
I';m getting big paychecks
From all of my sold out shows
I;m on top of the world living like a boss
Until that girl up and laid me off
Well you may look at me like I'm having a good time
But if you look in my eye you see way down deep inside

[Chorus]
I'm sufferin'
(Sufferin')
I'm sufferin'
(Sufferin')
I'm sufferin'
(Sufferin')
I'm no good
(Sufferin')
I got everything a man could want
But ever since my baby's been gone
I've been sufferin'

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
