Everyday

My baby mother with another brother with cash
I won't rest 'til I'm paid or I'm down in my grave
I ain't gonna front, all I want is a blunt
Can't play ball and my Timb's is small
Shit's twisted, opportunity knocked but I missed it
'Cause if you don't I'll come up close and say it clearly
So now I'm sittin' here shit out of luck without a buck
Emotionally scarred from losin' my job
But this type of shit, it happens everyday
And it don't make a difference
I got to know, I got to go

And it don't make sense how the shit is intense
So do you hear me?
I solve all my problems with indo and hash

Can't buy trees with government cheese
I got to know, I got to go
Everyday pants in the week is enough
If I was you and you was me, would you respect me?
But people see me, put they purse to the front
Talk blunts and boys and she'll jump for joy
I wanna look tough but my sneakers is scuffed
He called me everythin' except for a winner
Pass the nod nigga, times is hard

My landlord's a jerk, the water don't work
I strive for my pay each and every way

I'm at the end of my rope tryin' to find a way to cope

My mom's got two jobs, one on her knees
Spent time hustlin', runnin' from cops

Can't find a drive for a 9 to 5
Broke as a joke, no ends at all

I'd rather be where it's breezy, niggas bubblin' ki's
Word up!
Now do you hear me?
And all you got up in your pocket is lint, you get the hint?
But this type of shit, it happens everyday
'Cause if you don't I'll come up close and say it clearly
I got to know, I got to go

A yo, I'm livin' in the ghetto and I'm tryin' to survive
I strive for my pay each and every way
But this type of shit, it happens everyday
I put my life on the line and I ain't makin' a dime
I strive for my pay each and every way
Listen

It ain't a game, man, I pawned all the rings and chains
I got to know, I got to go
Niggas call me, "Never mind, man, you're wastin' your time"
They drive by roll down the window and laugh
I strive for my pay each and every way
I don't know where it begins but this is where it could end
It's like I only get by when I'm feelin' the high
At the same time a nigga rollin' by in a five
Now would you check me?
I strive for my pay each and every way

Bought my daughter a Nintendo, now she callin' him Dad

And writin' letters to the governor, "Please call off the deeds"
Tried to go to church, priest called me a sinner
Rather do Kirk than do her homework
Out in the park gettin' lifted
It's like I'm trapped in a maze, walk around in a daze
A pair of blue and yellow dunks and my hundreds in chunks
I'm walkin' in the rain wishin' things would change
But this type of shit, it happens everyday
But this type of shit, it happens everyday
Now do you hear me?
Now it's either pay the rent or stay in a tent
I got to know, I got to go
A yo, I walk down the block with my stomach in knots
I had a little money but it came and it went
Now would you check me?

If I was you and you was me, would you respect me?
Honeys don't respect when you call 'em collect
I'm sippin' on Gin thinkin' how I could win

And I ain't got no smoke, the elevator broke
I had a cigarette for breakfast, just for beginners
'Cause if you don't I'll come up close and say it clearly
And it's 25 cent, you can call 'em direct
My little sister twelve when she bought her own skirt
Pride for my lunch and sleep for dinner
I'm waking up early on the first of the month
