Lyrics

And momma said it will be days
Past due bills just give me 3 more days
Master took half of my check
slaving 48 seeing 72 & haven't slept yet tell me what's next
Got into a fight with my gas light
Cause I went out last night
Checking food spots in Brooklyn heights
Saw my homeboy mike
He said he was doing aight
Got a shorty on the way, nice
Got my grub and left
Told him peace & give the mrs my best
Headed east
feeling a tad bit stress
Like a war in my chest
Surviving got me obsessed
Hoping to make it from one day to the next
Life full of vexes
Everyday tested
Thinking, how I could of been
1 out of 5 arrested
Thankful for the path my momma directed
When needed she corrected
Trying to maintain
Everyday, it's the same ol thing
Pulled up to the crib
Grab my ribs
Hit the light switch
no electric

And it is what it is
When it did what it did
When living on the grid

trying to live where I live
Just breath When I breath
Please baby let me live

And it gives what it gives
Got to get what I get
Wishing I could forget

This is just way it is
When life is what it is
Everyday is a just quiz


Another day
Another dollar
missing from my pocket
Ain't nothing gonna stop it
This whip stealing all my profit
Running down the drain like the drip from my faucet
Life and death so costly
Breathe so softly
Maybe the weight would get off me
alarm clock imperial
no milk for my cereal
Thats a bee in my Cheerios
And here we go
Life is just a merri go
Living by it's axis
Trying rotate past it
My 9 to 5, gave me the ax kid
Trying figure out, what I did
Where to live and What gives
Grab the shiv that's a bid
And I ain't the type to fall off the grid
gotta breath gotta live
Gotta move gotta win
Im in this till the end
I'm just trying to contend
Box my way out the corner
Can't be the mourner
Grabs the keys so I roam
Trying to find my way home
A quarter past 4
I get to the door
They just left me with me the floor
