Kinetics - Cinderella Man lyrics

[Verse 1: Man-u-ill] I'm on the grind survivin,' ain't happy with my 9 to 5 and Thinkin' to myself that my time's arrivin' But waitin' s**, everyday I'm wakin' up All these bills got me down, I could barely make it up Livin' check to check, I could barely take a cut All the money in this world, I could barely make a buck It's an anomaly, blame it on the economy But it's fine with me, paper ain't what definin' me No shame, face it, there's too much pride in me It's so plain, I'm a make it off what's inside of me Bein' broke ain't the life for me Though they say that the best things in life are free They are...yeah, love is priceless But who thinkin' of love durin' a budget crisis? Heat's cut off, stove is lifeless Outside is bitter and is cold as ice is Inside a husband's all alone and wifeless Wasn't makin' the bacon, some hoes is shiesters What's left to us, what happened to d**h do us? It's been hard since God blew his breath through us Especially nowadays, we sufferin' layoffs Most unemployed had enough of them days off Brushin' off my shoulder, none of it stays off We doin' all we can, it's like none of it pays off [Hook: Kinetics & Man-u-iLL] So when it all falls down, I say let it recess (feelin' like Cinderella Man) Cause I'mma go insane, if I don't ever de-stress (ain't no way that I can fail the fam) Breathe in, and I breathe out, and I take a deep breath (Cinderella Man) Sometimes I just close my eyes and I take a recess (got me feelin' like Cinderella Man) [Verse 2: Kinetics] Yeah, and I feel like a Cinderella Man If things are gettin' better, I didn't get the telegram It rains heavy so I'm savin' my pennies Movin' faster than the actors of the movies they made in the Twenties James Braddock, came from the same status So I'm boxin' in the ring 'till the day that my name matters They told me to leave music alone, cause I was bound to fail This industry is like a steamship – no sales So I'm findin' it ironic When the fans buy product, and money's a byproduct Everyone who doubted, are you proud of me yet? I started 2010 40,000 in debt But I spent a couple nights alone, just so I could write a poem Paid off every student loan with a microphone I did it by myself, man I'm in this fight alone Cause nothin' that is given to you, do you rightly own Uh, don't even tell me you ball hard When you buyin' out the bar with your parents' credit card These spoiled rich kids with no concept of money They go to Ivy League schools, and they end up runnin' the country Half of my friends at college, they got in through a connection And then we wonderin' why this economy's in recession So when I make it there, I ain't ever comin' back Even Bernie Madoff made off with the money sack [Hook]
