I got ninety nine problems and they all bitches
Wish I was Jigga man, carefree living
But I'm not Shawn or Martin Louie
I'm the Cleveland nigga rollin' with them Brooklyn boys
You know how I be when you start livin' large
I control my own life, Charles was never in charge
No sitcom could teach Scott about the dram'
Or even explain the troubles that haunted my mom
On Christmas time, my mom Christmas grind
Got me most of what I wanted, how'd you do it mom, huh?
She copped the toys I would play with in my room by myself, why he by himself?
He got two older brothers, one hood, one good
An independent older sister got me fly when she could
But they all didn't see,
The little bit of sadness in me, Scotty

I've got some issues that nobody can see
And all of these emotions are pouring out of me
I bring them to the light for you
It's only right
This is the soundtrack to my life (yeah, yeah)
The soundtrack to my life

I'm super paranoid, like a sixth sense
Since my father died, I ain't been right since
And I tried to piece the puzzle of the universe
Split an eighth of 'shrooms just so I could see the universe
I tried to think about myself as a sacrifice
Just to show the kids they ain't the only ones who up at night
The moon will illuminate my room and soon I'm consumed by my doom
Once upon a time nobody gave a fuck
It's all said and done and my cock's been sucked
So now I'm in the cut, alcohol in the wound
My heart's an open sore that I hope heals soon
I live in a cocoon opposite of Cancun
Where it is never sunny, the dark side of the moon
So it's more than right, I try to shed some light on a man
Not many people of this planet understand, fam'

I've got some issues that nobody can see
And all of these emotions are pouring out of me
I bring them to the light for you
It's only right
This is the soundtrack to my life
The soundtrack to my life

I was close to go and trying some coke
And a happy ending would be slitting my throat
Ignorance the cope man
Ignorance is bliss
Ignorance is love, and I need that shit
If I never did shows, then I'd probably be a myth
If I cared about the blogs, then I'd probably be a jack-ass
Don't give a shit what people talkin' 'bout fam
Haters shake my hand but I keep the sanitizer on deck
Hope I really get to see thirty
Wanna settle down, stop being so flirty
Most of the clean faces be the most dirty
I just need a thoroughbred, cook when I'm hungry
Ass all chunky, brain is insanity
Only things that calm me down, pussy and some Cali tree
And I get both, never truly satisfied
I am happy, that's just the saddest lie

I've got some issues that nobody can see
And all of these emotions are pouring out of me
I bring them to the light for you
It's only right
This is the soundtrack to my life,
The soundtrack to my life
To my life
To my life
To my life
To my life
Yeah uh huh yeah (to my life)
Yeah uh huh yeah (to my life)
Yeah uh huh yeah (to my life)
Yeah uh huh yeah
Yeah uh huh yeah
Yeah uh huh yeah
Yeah yeah

    General Comment:In verse 1, It starts out with the beggining of his issues. There were a couple of lines that i decided to analyze.

    No sitcom could teach Scott about the drama
    Or even explain the troubles that haunted my mom
    On Christmas time, my mom Cristmas grind
    Got me most of what I wanted, how'd you di it mom, huh?

    First of all Scott can be someone he made up(imaginary friend) that he would talk to since no one else saw the issues that he had. He felt like he couldn't explain to anyone what was going on with his mother. His mother could of been a prostitute because sh got him most of what he wanted for christmas, but in the next line he asks his mother where did she get the money for that, but he says it in a demanding tone like if he already knew where she got it from. Plus she already had the sadness of loosong her love in life.

    "I am happy, that's the saddest lie"

    this line gives out the theme other then the chorus since if the chorus is always repeated it is most likely that it's the theme of the song. The main idea of this song is that with loosing his father and his mom having problems all of his family issues with other problems are building up that he just wants to xplode. He may seem happy, but truely he's suffering on the inside.

    General Comment:"The moon will illuminate my room and soon I'm consumed by my doom."

    As cliche as all hell as this line is, it's one of my favorites. Not to sound melodramatic, but I often stay up at night not thinking about "doom" so much as the meaning of life, what it would be like to not exist, etc., etc. Yet "doom" is a good word to sum it up. I get all philosophical and existential in my little room...so this really resonated with me :D

    General Comment:"I just need a thoroughbred, cook when I'm hungry"
    sounds like, and makes more sense as:
    "I just need a girl, bread cooked when I'm hungry"
