[Hook : Doms Gauge] How do I remain stress free When I'm just trying to make ends meet People tell me I should blaze less weed Well I'm just trying to make ends meet I don't think I'm getting paid next week So I'm just trying to make ends meet Yeah we tryna make ends meet Keep rolling till the tank's empty I hope you hear me loud and clear We gone make it out of here I hope you hear me loud and clear Soon we gone make it out of here [Verse 1 : Doms Gauge] I've been feeling like the odds are against me Hoping I don't ever have to rob to make ends meet Don't wanna do wrong for the benji's Settling, drug pedaling like Lance Armstrong on a ten speed Tempting Cause I've been so stressed that it's painful But I won't lay here with my head on the table I'm blessed and I'm thankful to be spitting this now And standing on my 2 feet while some are 6 in the ground Or some only have one while the other foot they're missing it Maybe it's an arm or maybe multiple ligaments Maybe they're disabled or they're born with a disfigurement I'm saying everybody has a struggle that they're living with Been looking for these dividends and ain't been seeing them And I don't want to borrow money from family and friends Tryna make these ends meet until I meet the end And when I meet my maker you won't have to hear from me again [Hook] [Verse 2: Willy Ways] I tried to wish upon a star once All I got was bad luck and worse karma Somebody tell me where a star struck So I could make my way And leave these haters in this stardust I'm working my a** off I'm ready to blast off These people turned my heart into a black spot Back before I went from stealing candy from a snack shop All the way to stuffing yellow xannies in a stash spot I was never afraid to admit a flaw There's a lot of sh** I shouldn't have said and I said it all I'm just happy I ain't locked up or claiming what set I'm on But give some gas to kid with a match and he'll set it off I let it all out Give me a reason for me to calm down f** that, I saw the bigger picture in that small town Still wondering if god is tryna test me Or if the devil's tryna tempt me [Hook] [Verse 3: Doms Gauge] I owe people money but can't pay debt Because I'm broke and I'm hungry and I ain't ate yet So can I get a rain check? Nah, can it rain checks? Until the kid gets a mill like Preston in Blank Check But this world don't wanna give you a break They just wanna spit in your face Over little mistakes So I refuse to work a 9 to 5 for minimum wage I'd rather buy a shovel now and start digging my grave Tryna go on tour to every venue and stage So I put my pen to the page And at the end of the day I hope it all works And if it turns out that you're the last person to the top Does that mean you're gonna fall first? I'm not sure No, I'm not sure
