A yo, I walk down the block with my stomach in knots


Spent time hustling, running from cops

Broke as a joke, no ends at all


Can't play ball and my Timb's is small


Can't buy trees with government cheese

I rather be where its breezy, ^!$$%s bubbling ki's


My moms got two jobs one on her knees


and writin letters to the governor "Please call off the deeds"

My baby mother with another brother with cash


and drive by roll down the window and laugh


I solve all my problems with indo and hash

Bought my daughter a Nintendo now she calling him Dad


My landlord's a jerk, the water don't work


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


%#@!'s twisted, opportunity knocked but I missed it

Out in the park gettin lifted


So now I'm sittin here %#@! out of luck without a buck


and it don't make a difference




Faith:


(Everyday)

Everday(Said Im living in the ghetto everday, and it aint easy)


Everday


Everday

Everday







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

Everyday pants in the week is enough


I had a little money but it came and it went


Now its either pay the rent or stay in a tent

and it don't make sense how the %#@! 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

Pride for my lunch and sleep for dinner

I tried to go to church, priest called me a sinner


He called me everything except for a winner

I'm walking in the rain wishing things would change


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

Emotionally scarred form losing my job

Pass the nod ^!$$%, times is hard




Everyday(everyday)


Everyday(Im tryna live my life up in the ghetto)

Everyday

Everyday(Everyday)


Everyday(Said Im strugglin)

Everyday(and im strivin)

Everyday(Ooh trust me)

Everyday(everyday)









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

a pair of blue and yellow dunks and my hundreds in chunks

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

I'm waking 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 making a dime


^!$$%s call me "Never mind , man you're wastin' your time"

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

At the same time a ^!$$% rolling by in a five

Cant find a drive for a 9 ta 5


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

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

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

I'm sipping on Gin thinking how I could win

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



Everyday(everyday)

Everyday(Im tryna live my life up in the ghetto)

Everyday

Everyday(and you know it aint easy!)

Everyday

Everyday(Ooh Im hustlin)

Everyday(and Im strugglin)

Everyday

Ooo-oooh-ooh Everyday



Im livin in the ghetto and im tryin to survive

Everyday

and my life aint never easy

So im hustlin for my paper everyday



Everyday(Do you know)

Everyday(How it feels)

Everyday(To live in the ghetto)

Everyday

Everyday(Out here strugglin)

Everyday(Out here strugglin)

Everyday(OOh ooh ooh)

oo-ooh Everyday

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 %#@! 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 %#@! it happens everyday
