[Verse 1: Jito]
My back was backed all the way to the wall
And it felt like my foundation was cracked and I'd fall
When you're faced with more questions than answers, it's hard
They say that help is on the way, to just keep trusting in God
They said help was on the way but I saw nothing at all
So it was either have faith, wait, hustle, or starve
So I got my hustle on, thought I had my hustle strong
Got out there, got hustled, yeah I had my hustle wrong
And we was still hungry, still needed food to eat
Still dead broke, still one move from the streets
Still has access to the steel, I could steal and eat
But I refuse to steal from someone doing bad as me
So with the world on my back like Atlas
I realized that God's in the lane waiting on that pa**
See I tried my way like Usher
Nothing left to do but trust you, I'mma trust ya
[Hook: Dre Murray] [2x]
Yeah, I had my back to the wall
Head up, praying I don't trip and fall
Man, nothing left to do but stand
In this crazy world doing all I can, man
[Spoken: Dre Murray]
Man, baby girl, I just don't want you struggle like, you know
I had struggle, you know I want you to have more than what I had
I mean it wasn't the worst, but you know
Daddy had to a lot of things that he really didn't wanna do
You know, but, but, but
[Verse 2: Dre Murray]
Your daddy is a hustler without the crack
I got a nine to seven to be exact but get a
Nine to five I'm in overdrive
And what you hear right now, this is overtime
See I can't rewind back to the days of old
When anything was sold just to buy some clothes
Just to buy some gas, I would cut the cla**
Sold my beat machine, he only gave me half
And I was mad, like homie this is top of the line
How am I supposed to rhyme with no beat in mind?
You must be doing them lines if you think that I'm taking
Only like $19.99, you say 20, there fine
Then I'm out the door, ‘cause I gotta explore
This big world, ‘cause I gotta get more
So just like an eagle I soar to the next adventure
Hoop fans said I had potential
To be the next Tyrone Ellis, but now I'm getting jealous
This dude overseas, making that big cheese
Me, I'm on my knees, asking God, “Please
Please show me purpose right now, I feel worthless
Like I can't cope. Should I grab rope?
Call my kinfolk and slang coke? No
With you I found hope
Thought my life was done but found faith in the Son."
[Hook] [4x]
Yeah, I had my back to the wall
Head up, praying I don't trip and fall
Man, nothing left to do but stand
In this crazy world doing all I can, man
