Lyrics:
for a pay day
Living in the hood no job
No fighting for a pay day
To stay with the living
You got to be forgiven
You got to be forgiven
To stay with
idea was a good idea at this point.
There was a free newspaper in New York city called the Village Voice on the back of every issue, there was
thing that matter, bitch scatter
You in my way, about to spray, the A-K
Middle of the day, like that shit's okay
Never had a job never had a education
eyes
I hang with positive people
My friends and I respect each other
All is change
I love the clear blue skies
And the sunny days
I always make the best
efforts are negated by the passive observers.

They spend days before the T.V. set so burned out,
Is it any wonder they've lost all sense of vision
to find no job
Said I seen you today you was standin' on a corner
Leaning up against a post
I said but I'm tired,
I've been walkin' all day
She said
you know"
I said "I know, everybody funny, now you funny too"
So I go back home
I tell the landlady I got a job, I'm gonna pay the rent
She said
This is a trap
This is some crap
Rather stay home and just nap
Quit my job and not look back
Look back at the slack
Where people lack to give a crap
Nigga, you need to git up, git out and git something
Don't let the days of your life pass by
You need to git up, git out and git something
Don't
Nigga, you need to git up, git out and git something
Don't let the days of your life pass by
You need to git up, git out and git something
Don't
back
Meet Zach, twenty-one years old
After hangin' out with some friends at a frat party, he gets bold
And decides to try five, when he's bribed by
back
Meet Zach, twenty-one years old
After hangin' out with some friends at a frat party, he gets bold
And decides to try five, when he's bribed by
here can make me doubt myself
Im alright
When the sun falls
I be working
I know one day they'll be looking
And they'll just keep looking back
Do
And the towels are oh so fluffy
Where the Shriners and the lepers play their ukuleles all day long
And anyone on the street will gladly shave your back for
[Chorus: repeat 4X]
Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
[Verse One:]
I
She meant to inspire me
Of that I'm sure
But she never had
To face the world
Day by Day by day
It's like living paycheck to paycheck
Smile to smile
When
side
Waking up on the grind
No time for the slack
No time for the slack
Got my fans by my side
No time for the...
I ain't goin' back to that damn day
I really got to thank Skvr, without him things would have been hard
He understands the art
Going back to back on whatsapp, talking bout how one day
time watching Scooby-Doo. And eating Froot Loops with Toucan Sam
Now days it's "Where you from?" Back then it was "Who ya fam?"
Back then you'd get ya
Back in the days when i was young im no a kid anymore
but somedays i sit and whish i was a kid again (2xs)
Back in the days ... when i was just
getting their hands dirty
Tradies on the job site
Fly in, fly out, working all the long nights
Yeah, waking up long before the sunrise
No days off from
no easy job
No, no, it ain't no easy job
Aim the beam and target locked
Boy you better run or you'll get knocked
By a couple Mac-10's we keep em
the ocean, I’m tokin’ for days
Try to be like me, but we’s not the same
I got the keys, yeah the keys to the game
And yo girl love my shit cause my shit
We been hustling
Had to work different jobs get it in
Daddy where you been

Yea yea
We been hustling
Had to work different jobs get
