Okay I lock myself up Inside my room Depression knock I don't let it through Do I pop an Addie Or pop a few I just popped a bit Now I'm feeling new We struggling So I gotta work My hustling's On my momma's nerves But 7 dollars with 25 Isn't really what I am worth I finished school And my momma proud But I don't know What I'm doing now I should go to college But I'm having doubts Cause my homies did it And they checks still bounce I'm from a small town But my mind is big I used to be like The shyest kid But I grew up Yeah Lord knows I did It's funny how I never noticed it But now I'm old And I see it all My moma doesn't want Me involved Cause I'm her baby And I feel her love But I'm a man so I toughs it up Have you filled an app And done interviews But no one seems To be in to you They say they'll call But they never do So you sell the news To get revenue I look like a thug But I'm intelligent But I got a record So they delicate Like why you Gotta be prejudice I didn't steal Or nothing but I resist Just look inside Of my iris's Instead of what's Behind my arrests I get it tho They won't take a risk So f** it man I gotta make a trip I go to the plug And he shows me love Like ain't it funny He really does He shows respect Cause he can relate "They fired me Cause I came in late" He says it laughing As he measure weight "Don't worry n***a You'll be okay Just make that money Don't take no break Keep working hard And you will be straight" Will opportunity Ever knock If time is money Then I need a clock We from a town Where it's always hot And I ain't talking About the block I'm talking about The weather We pray for Something better Really I'm So fed up But I gotta Get this cheddar No room to Make an error I really feel The pressure But I keep It all together Won't let em See me mess up This music sh** Is all that I know I hide my pain But in there it shows My homies say That I'm bound to blow I smile and laugh But that's all for show Cause nothing's promised Only your d**h Im waking up And I feel so blessed I thank the Lord With every waking breath I don't pray for money I pray for strength Cause Lord knows That I need it Wake up, hustle, sleep Then repeat it Work so hard That I ain't been eating But as long as My heart keeps beating I'ma do what I gotta With a dream and a dollar I do it all for my family I do it all for my momma, yeah
