[Verse]
Another day, another dollar, but a dollar ain't enough
I been down here in the trenches tryna' get it out the mud
Mama hollering 'bout degrees, but I'm worried 'bout degrees
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 it'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 hand you're dealt
I'd be lying if I said I never questioned my beliefs
Turn my 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 cuz I know that this is Hell
