V1:
Man I know there’s gotta be a better way
It’s a struggle for me to get this paper day to day
See the hustlers blessed and I’m distressed
Gotta find a way to get this pressure off my chest
Living my life my destiny
I’m working on my job with no college degree
And you know I ain’t got a good salary
It’s like I’m living in modern day slavery
Pre-Hook:
I’m getting older, the world is getting colder
It’s too much, too much, too much weight upon my shoulders
Life is harder than a concrete wall
But you don’t understand that concept at all
Hook:
I don’t understand what I gotta do
For me to get through to the next level
I need to get this monkey off of my back
Is it me is it you gotta pick up the slack
I don’t understand what I gotta do
For me to get through to the next level
I need to get this monkey off of my back
Is it me is it you damn I gotta get these stacks
V2:
Everyday its the same situation
Rolling outta bed just so I can get this paper
It’s hard when you know the bills are due
And you sitting in the trenches
Wondering if the boss is gonna fire you
You know its hard trying to keep up with these kids
When your next move could end up in a bid
Doing what you gotta do your backs against the wall
Busy robbing Peter just so I can pay Paul
2nd Pre-Hook:
12 hour shifts I’m working overnight
On 5 hour sleep this situation ain’t right
For me its all work ain’t got no time for no play
I’m on the grind I hustle hard
And that ain’t never gonna change
Hook 2x

Ohhhh Ohhh, Ohhhh, Ohhh
Ohhhh Ohhh, Ohhhh, Ohhh
