Everyday

[Verse 1]

Ayo, I walk down the block with my stomach in knots (uh huh)

Spent time hustlin', runnin' from cops (uh)

Broke as a joke, no ends at all

Can't play ball and my Timbs is small

Can't buy trees with, government cheese (word)

I rather be where it's breeze, niggas bubblin' ki's (uh huh)

My moms got two jobs one on her knees

And writin' letters to the governor "Please call off the deed" (shit)

My baby mother with another brother with cash (uh huh)

They drive by roll down the window and laugh (ok)

I solve all my problems with indo and hash

Bought my daughter a Nintendo now she calling him Dad

My landlord's a jerk (damn), the water don't work (uh huh)

My little sister twelve and she bought her own skirt

Rather do Kirk, than, do her homework

Talk blunts and boys and she'll jump for joy

Shit is twisted, opportunity knocked but I missed it

Out in the park gettin' lifted

So now I'm sittin here shit out of luck, without a buck

And it don't make a difference

[Hook]

So do you hear me?

'Cause if you don't I'll come up close and say it clearly

I got to know I got to go

I strive for my pay, (yo) each and every way (yo)

But this type of shit it happens everyday

[Verse 2]

It's like I'm trapped in a maze walk around in a daze

I won't rest 'til I'm paid or I'm down in my grave

I wanna look tough, but my sneakers is scuffed (uh huh)

Everyday pants in the week is enough

I had a little money but it came and it went

Now it's either pay the rent, or stay in a tent

And it don't make sense how the shit is intense

And all you got up in your pocket is lint, you get the hint?

I had a cigarette for breakfast, just for beginners (damn)

Pride for my lunch and, sleep for dinner (word?)

Tried to go to church, priest called me a sinner (uh huh)

They call me everythin', except for a winner

I'm walkin' in the rain wishin' things would change

It ain't a game, man I pawned all the rings and chains

Emotionally scarred from, losin' my job

Pass the nod nigga, times is hard

[Hook]

Now do you hear me?

'Cause if you don't I'll come up close and say it clearly

I got to know, I got to go

I strive for my pay, each and every way

But this type of shit it happens everyday

Now would you check me?

If I was you and you was me, would you respect me?

I got to know I got to go

I strive for my pay, each and every way

But this type of shit it happens everyday

[Verse 3]

Yo, yo, I ain't gonna front, all I want is a blunt

A pair of blue and yellow dunks and my hundreds in chunks (uh huh)

But, people see me, put they purse to the front

I'm wakin' up early on the first of the month

Honeys don't respect when you call 'em collect

And it's 25 cent you can call 'em direct

I put my life on the line I ain't makin' a dime

Niggas call me "Never mind, man, you're wastin' your time"

Ayo, I'm livin' in the ghetto and I'm tryin' to survive

At the same time a nigga rollin' by in a five

Can't find the drive for a 9-5

It's like I only get by when I'm feeling the high

And I ain't got no smoke, the elevator broke (damn)

I'm at the end of my rope, tryna find a way to cope (I see)

I'm sippin' on Gin thinkin' how I could win

I don't know where it begin but this is where it could end

[Hook]

Now do you hear me?

'Cause if you don't I'll come up close and say it clearly

I got to know, I got to go

I strive for my pay, each and every way

But this type of shit it happens everyday

Now would you check me?

If I was you and you was me, would you respect me?

I got to know I got to go

I strive for my pay, each and every way

But this type of shit it happens everyday
