Ludacris, CeeLo Green - Problems lyrics

They say Luda would you rather have
The money or the fame
I say they try to tell em
That it all just depends
Cause everytime I make a lil more money
I seem to be losing more of my friends
So I'd give it all up to repeat life over
And they'd say dude is a fool
I can't trust another motherfucker
Living in this world
And this really got me losing my cool
What would you'd do if you
Were in my situation
And the minute everyone you ever loved
To say you looked up
You drink your pain to the bottom of a bottle
And the Conjure would have you fucked up
So I'm looking for love in
All the wrong places
Pop pills, drink liquor by the cases
Get high, make a woman get low
In the strip club looking for familiar faces
People know me on a first name basis
But all they ever really want is my cash
Let me borrow just a couple hundred dollars
And you know that I'm a pay you back, my ass
This world so superficial
This world done lost my trust
They say Ludacris you've changing
But I really don't give a fuck
What the hell am I suppose to think?
What the hell am I suppose to do?
I'm hearing that the devil's in disguise
And I'm hearing that the nigga
Look just like you
They know I walk throw the valley
Of the shadow of death i don't go astray
And I get down on my knees and pray and I say
(Okay, okay
Okay) I wish my problems would go away
(Okay, okay, okay) I wish my
Problems would go away, away, away
I wish my problems would go away, away, away

Doc said I need to change my diet
Cause I'm really not eating right
Mama said I need some peace and quiet
Cause I'm really not sleeping right
What's the use of having all the money
And the power in the world
If I can't abuse it?
Seems like the only thing
That's keeping me together, is my music
If it wasn't for that
I think I would lose it
If it wasn't for that, I would go crazy
When nobody went good on they word
In the industry they make you
Feel like, "Fuck you, pay me!"
Cause I gotta feed family
Some of the same ones that abandoned me
That still looking for a hand out
Til you found out there ain't
Shit ya handed me
Hah, still mad at me? But I'm trying to
Be the man I plan to be
But can't do it if you
Calling me for dumb shit
Thinking I'm innocent, I'm a plea insanity
Too many distractions and it
Feels like everyday
So I get down on my knees and pray and I say

(Okay, okay
Okay) I wish my problems would go away
(Okay, okay, okay) I wish my
Problems would go away, away, away
I wish my problems would go away, away, away

I finally made it to the
Top of the CEO position
But when things don't go their way
These artists got all these suspicions
So the weed keep me at peace
And I think I need an intervention
Who the fuck put me in charge
Of making all of these decisions
My position got me stressing
Like it never did before
Not to mention my best friend drowned and
Death was knocking at his door
And it seems like someone in my family
Is passing away like every day
So I just look up to the sky and get
Down on my knees and pray and I say

(Okay, okay
Okay) I wish my problems would go away
(Okay, okay, okay) I wish my
Problems would go away, away, away
I wish my problems would go away, away, away
