Hook [Deacon]
They Don't know
They don't see
Everybody in this b**h is strugglin' like a mothaf**a
They don't know
They don't see
Everybody in this b**h is strugglin'
Can you hear me?
All we do is hit the streets and hustle
All we do is try to cover our needs
Everyday is wearing down on our muscles
Tryna satisfy American greed
First Verse [Natti]
Man, all of your hours, minutes, seconds spent
On rubber-neckin' round a person workin, stressin, when is your turn?
That's how a grimm expression bent above yo chin
I'm guessin comes from sweatin' mine instead of worrying about yern
Spread out that couch invention from sittin in one
Position
Straiten up yo kitchen quick as Malcolm Little's perm
Now let it burn, cause that's the pain that you earn
f**in' off doing nothing constructive thinkin short term
Train for the long run, regardless of outcome
Yo train of thought is off track cause you off the wrong one
Quit hitchin' rides and try buying yo own sled
You makin moves, but the problems they in yo own bed
Hook
Second Verse [Sheisty]
I know n***as with gold chains and gold watches
Who buy food from the Golden Arches loaded with starches
These same n***as selling c**ain in old apartments
Id rather go to marches, load the cartridge, blow the charges
I might spark the revolution though and go to marshes
And build bows and arrows on barges only known to archers
To yall the revolutions probably when you go to Marshall's
Might seem like I'm going harsh but I'm so impartial
Yeah I know it seem like I'm throwing darts
That could blow apart the lower part of Noah's Ark
At the police department in the dark with no remarks
Snitches get stitches b**hes and so do narcs
So while y'all go to loan sharks I study Joan of Arc
And the culmination of the Yeoman, bards, and Roman arts
Statues, cathedrals
So if I'm coming at you bless you, achoo, the measles
Attack you, bleed you, smack you, leave you
Baptized in hellfire Matthew - read you
The truth is we don't need you if American greed feeds you
This is a cesarean to de-seed you and re-breed you
