With a little bit of hope and a little bit of time I got my back against the ropes till November on the grind Gone like Wyclef, I'm gone like a refugee Everyday I'm hustling! Gotta feed my family Lost my job and my bank account empty I think i'm on edge so homie don't tempt me Tragedy! Calamity! Insanity! All this turbulence is gonna bring out the man in me I stay humble in the cut I'm a double up, bubble up and cause trouble what! Kids growing up! But I ain't home And I hate to think about my wife sleeping all alone In need of her man so he can be hands on But I pray she sleeps alone and never share our throne Tell the kids I'll be home before long But for as long as i'm gone... I'm rock bottom! I'm in a hole this time I think just stepped on an old landmine I'm rock bottom! I got me in a hole this time I think I just stepped on an old landmine I'm rock bottom! Time to rise and shine All it's gone take is just a matter of time I'm rock bottom! Trying to keep my soul in line I'm climbing! Out of this hole this time I saw my homie Greg. He says he's doing great He just got promoted. I say I'm ok He knows where the party at but I can't stay Says I should I should come along he ball out all day Fine dining, VIP, champagne Doing the damn thang. Yes he loves to make it rain I'll take a rain check for a brighter day Coz I can't keep up with ten times my pay So I'll be sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time till a ship come my way Sail away and find new things to say And I'll be back to being a champ like Ali, bomaye! Flow like a bu*terfly effect on a bee hive stinging With a heavy buzz I stay fly when I'm winging Sidetracked dealing with this income bringing All I got is rap couldn't cut it at singing Wherever I go you gotta know your the one that makes me happy I'll be still the same guy that you know waking up with my hair all nappy Hey you are my sunshine always even when the day is crappy Grey clouds bring the summer rain round but I'm dreaming of you don't slap me So so glad when I ring her Always so glad when I ring her Sunshine I will bring her And I can't wait to smell her Got so many things I want to tell her Baby one day it's gonna be better
