Another day another dollar

But a dollar ain't enough

I been down there in the trenches tryna'

Get it out the mud

Mama hollering 'bout degrees

But I'm worried 'bout the greens

Bought a house up in the 'burbs

And we still ain't got no heat

I been plotting for a minute

I been working on my flow

I ain't tryna' go to college

Swear to god I better blow

This is all I ever wanted know what's coming

I can feel it

I done seen a lot of faking tryna' show 'em

What the real is

You don't even know the half of the pain

That I done felt

But it ain't no use in complaining

Gotta play the hands you're dealt

I be lying if I said

I never question my beliefs

Turn the television on

I see us dying in the streets

I don't really smile a lot

Really I don't smile at all

I'm too busy tryna' work

Sorry if I missed your call

Lift my eyes unto the hills

I'm just looking for some help

I hope heaven isn't far

Because I know that this is hell
