hard to follow my dream,
working this 9 to 5,
people keep telling me,
my check is on the way,
so sun up to sun down,
im grinding tryna make it by,
praying that shift will come and take away the pain,
(that day is finally here3x
new clothes,new shoes,new whip,new chain,new this,new that,)2x
verse 1)
no i want settle for nothing,
less than the air that i breath,
I-i-i know its a struggle,
but who the hell gone do it for me,
who the hell gone do it for free,
if i don't get up and bust my ass,
thats my motto,
i cant put my faith in the lotto,
luck cant stay no where near wells fargo,
unless you rob that matha' *a',
and if you lucky enough to get away,
in a grave,
what do i do?
what can i say?
i tried to get paid,
but i got grazed,
the bullet went through,
but i ain't get paid,
so what do i appreciate ?
my J.O.B hey boss im coming in late.

verse 2)
look look,
look a bike ain't a bike,
with out no frame,
rice ain't rice,
with out no grain,
life ain't life,
with out frame,
if i make it out the hood,
damn rite im gone change my cell phone number,
the area code gone be still 305 tho,
just like my friends a' still be my friends,
just like my kin,
welcome in my doe',
but please?
wipe yo shoes on my rug,
you can keep yo shoe on,
its all love,
boy let me stop,
im dreaming to much,
now who the hell gone give up a nigga a million bucks,
nobody but god,
rite now i can use me one of those black cards,
im scard,
bike fell apart,
i cant do nothing but flarge,
its hard hard,

break down)
finally,
that day i been crying to reach,
that pay i been dying to see,
boy them folk wasn't lying to me,
i thought money didn't grow on tree's,
depend on the roots,
how you plant that seed,
think when you cant see no leaves,
hold up i need my Versace's,
Graze covers of magazines,
My mother she proud of me,
Myself I,
the one with the haters who thought i aint gon be *,
??? I'll get seasick,
I was broke (depreef?) it,
My books say, "Why y'all pay that nigga some cash?"
I wrote a song about it, wanna hear it?
