I'm trying to make sure my ends meet up But I can't do it with my two feet up Tell me 'bout it yo And I ain't ready for no kids and a wife Man I ain't ready for no grown up life Tell me 'bout it yo I'm trying to make sure my bills get paid But shit ain't working working minimum wage Tell me 'bout it yo And I ain't ready for no kids and a wife Man I ain't ready for no grown up life Tell me 'bout it yo
Six O'clock I'm up for work I'm still tired But if I'm late again I'll probably get fired Even though it gets depressin' When you're stuck in a recession Its a blessin' in itself to be hired But it still sucks working here I can't lie Broke as hell thinking about the shit I can't buy Hoping for an opportunity to knock But I'm always on the clock So I'd miss it if it came by Feel like I'm waisting my time I should be writing a rhyme Instead of waiting around What am I doing? I'm chasing a dream that I believe in My girlfriends mama telling her to leave him Cause he ain't worth shit unless he sign a deal I see my window open and it's seeming kind of real I put in all my chip before it was even time to deal So if I don't win the hand y'all know how I'mma feel
Feel like I'm working all day and all night And every day feel like a struggle and a fight But I know if I was big, rocking shows playing gigs I could live yo cause I just want to write But its tough as a full time student Trying to force myself to focus and just buckle down and do it Staring at the clock all day to get through it While it's costing me a fortune by the minute shit is stupid I'm sitting through class writing songs on my phone Teachers thinking I be texting but it's music on my dome I'm always in the back row sitting all alone cause Well honestly I work better on my own And life's passing me by I ain't plan it Paint the picture of my struggle most of y'all won't understand it And having money problems isn't very grown mannish But I know if I was big all my problems would vanish
