You do what you gotta do just to get your pot of stew And once you got a modest pot you want a lot – its true And once you got a lot you gotta stop and lock your view And those who need it most get them on their feet and show them how to Do what they gotta do just to get their pot of stew Once they got a modest pot they want a lot – its true But once they got a lot, they gotta lock the view And those that need it get them on their feet and walk them through At the end of the day if my rent isn't paid, then I'll be livin' in a tent Or beggin' friends for a place to rest my head So yes, my bread's on my brain It's a lead ball and chain but I did it all the same ‘cause Everybody's got a struggle, man You can either let it stress you out or say f*ck it (F*ck it) Up and start hustling shit, stop making someone else rich Hell, get selfish, don't split the wealth – if I happen to get caught, time to sit down and analyze the risk Revise the script now There are days that I played it safe cuz even loyal people lie to my face And tried destroyin' me right behind my back So I keep the laywer fees aside I cant get by with what royalties provide So I steer clear of the rats and venomous snakes Who get theirs at the end of the day… Trying to get some property under me and stay properly funded I'm talking about real wealth, not about monopoly money Cuz paper ain't worth a damn thang, but acres of land brings A place for my family to build and live forever Gotta get the parmesan, gouda, swiss and cheddar And keep it in the freezer so my kids can better their lives with it And hopefully they use their brains and put themselves in the position To improve and change the lives of others Cuz at the end of the day what's driving the struggle for nothing making minimum wage Cuz if I get paid, then I could give some away That's why I hustle for tomorrow but I live for the day You do what you gotta do just to get your pot of stew And once you got a modest pot you want a lot – its true And once you got a lot you gotta stop and lock your view And those who need it most get them on their feet and show them how to Do what they gotta do just to get their pot of stew Once they got a modest pot they want a lot – its true But once they got a lot, they gotta lock the view And those that need it get them on their feet and walk them through
