Mega Ran, Jermiside, Penny The Great - Everyday lyrics

I know how it feel to wake up caked up
Everything love-ly then suddenly a pay cut
People look at you like it's your fault
Bills don't stop so now you
Gotta do your part
We products of tough schools chasing
Money and truck jewels
Taught that was the only way to bust through
Like these shorties in Virginia
Put a couple hollows in ya
Leave ya laying by the river just to
Prove that they was some hittas
Hit Uncle Bobby didn't even need
To rob em - if
They asked he would probably gave
His last to anybody
Two families broken, damage irreparable
Hasn't been the same since I
Doubt that it ever will

Can't help thinking if somebody
Would of told em
They were kings and then showed em
The direction they would go in
Cause GED, wasn't RAN
PHd or bust, I was always in
Some kinda summer program in the burbs
Kuhn Day Camp props to the parents who try
To do all they can
Cuz yo, I said it before and said it again
The only real gangsters are in federal pens
Or dead on a whim
It's a game you never can win
Pick another vocation to be competitive in
And catch it if you can
Like the gingerbread man
Success is always the plan, but man
The struggle is real, the struggle is true
Sometimes nobody understands the
Struggle but you but we gotta get right
Some how some way some day
And we gone get by
Some how some way some day

The struggle is real, the struggle is true
Sometimes nobody understands the
Struggle but you but we gotta get right
Some how some way some day
And we gone get by
Some how some way some day

The school that I'm from not
Too many people survived
The streets ate them alive too much pride
To work a nine to five
The way we came up though
I'm really not surprised
A lot of rage in our blood
We decedents of a lost tribe
And I can only speak on mines
When I tell my story
Had to make a buck fast since I was a shorty
No glory in the struggle but it
Taught me how to hustle
Be slicker than hair grease and
Slide up out of trouble
I rather wake up early so I
Can get a fresh start

There's no mercy in this world so
You gotta have a strong heart
You gotta pay your bills
You gotta feed your kids
You can't make no excuses
You just handle biz
Develop mental callus so my
Thoughts are never weak
I'm taking chances with my freedom
Everyday up on these streets
Some people never understand they life
Is in a bubble so I'ma tell the story
Of my everyday struggles

The struggle is real, the struggle is true
Sometimes nobody understands the
Struggle but you but we gotta get right
Some how some way some day
And we gone get by
Some how some way some day

The struggle is real, the struggle is true
Sometimes nobody understands the
Struggle but you but we gotta get right
Some how some way some day
And we gone get by
Some how some way some day

Too many things that tear my heart
Don't know where the start
Try to never spare a dart
So yo lemme share a part
Hard when you glare around and
Everywhere you stare is dark
Should I leave it unsaid? Or
Everything is fair in art?
Fears of the unknown that hover like a canopy
How can it be I'm trying but
Feel I’m failing my family
Whether if I hustle with
Mics or move mechanically
All the strife larger than life
Just like a manatee
Staring at the vanity, I zone
While fighting with myself to keep my
Sanity and tighten up my home
Wishing I could maybe brighten
Even lighten up dome

Brain clashin' like a titan as
Writing up a poem
I'm getting paid penny, mistakes I made many
But still I gave plenty jewels
Ain't no slave in me
Gotta play to win, when the walls caving in
Gotta fight hard just like
A lifeguard saving men
The struggle is real, the struggle is true
Sometimes nobody understands the
Struggle but you but we gotta get right
Some how some way some day
And we gone get by
Some how some way some day

The struggle is real, the struggle is true
Sometimes nobody understands the
Struggle but you but we gotta get right
Some how some way some day
And we gone get by
Some how some way some day
