No Idea - DJ Pooh, Charlie Wilson, Roger Troutman

How much mo' can I take

I’m all alone in a world gone mad

Brothers is doin bad

I had hopes and dreams, it seems like though nobody care

Who says life is fair cause ain’t no justice out here nowhere

I prepare myself to hold court right here in the street

Don’t come at me with no b.s., homie, give me five feet

I can’t get no sleep, peace and quiet or rest

I got ulcers, migraines and pains in my chest

So God bless my soul, I feel old when I’m not

But physically and mentally I’m going through a lot

I know my time on this big blue baloon is short

Stress and pray everyday while people playin sport

Worry myself sick, so I be tryin to stay active

But death is lookin more and more attractive

Lord have mercy, why me, I know you ain’t make no mistake

But look at what a brother down here goin through for yo sake

You have no idea

(You have no idea)

What I’m goin through

(You have no idea)

Might face trials and tribulations

(So much stress and trials and tribulations)

But don’t you give up

It’s so bad out here

The young killing the young

It’s so bad, makes me sad

You have no clue

You have no idea

You have no idea

(You have no idea)

What I’m goin through

(You have no idea)

Justice for no one

(Justice for no one)

(Don't you know it’s drivin me mad)

You have no idea what I’m goin through

Don’t think I’m happy, homie, just because you see me grinning

Behind a smile, stress got my head spinning

And I’m just trying to be polite, I had a real rough night

And I don’t wanna see no friends until I get my ends right

I got enough problems, and it’s messing up my health

I keep putting my family and friends before myself

When I’m the one who need help but too proud to ask for it

When there’s something wrong with me y’all be the last to know it

Cause I don’t show it, I handle it and privately suffer

Having patience is a mutha

Trials and tribulations, that’s how my lessons begin

I’m overpowered by death and the impressions of men

I’m trying to overcome these obstacles that I meet

With women, kids, work, religion and my friends in the street

I done spread myself too thin, fell into a trap

And now I’m just about ready to snap

You have no idea

(You have no idea)

What I’m goin through

(You have no idea)

(I can’t make my ends meet)

What can we do?

(What can we do?)

(What can we do?)

(Teenage babies)

(Teenage babies)

Making babies

(Welfare, yeah, yeah)

No checks for me

You have no idea what I’m goin through

(Deep in my heart)
