So you feelin like life aint treating ya right Caught in the tunnel and ya havin a hard time seeing the light Your lost and hope is no where near you Your futures all foggy and you don’t have a clear view Your screaming out but its like no one hears you Your disappointed with yourself, and your career too Your figuring out that life isn’t a cake walk Theres no time for vacation or taking a day off Your struggling jsut to make ends meet You’ve got a map but it leads you to a dead end street And minimum wage has got you on a limited income Your breakfast is the city air and dinner is breadcrumbs And you’re just been playing the hand you’ve been given But its like your stuck in a blizzard with no blanket or mittens Its like the heats not working cause the systems broken And the cold winds got your toes and fingers frozen man
I’ve been through the same predicament And just like you, I felt like giving in This is a cruel world were living in Its all about the fame and Benjamin’s I’ve been through the same bullshit before And I just cant take it anymore I know it seems like its never gonna get any better But its gotta, cause it cant forever
Yo, you getting older and approaching 30 And everything’s topsy tirvy and far from sturdy Some of your friends went to college and some enlisted While your still chasing your dreams and taking a big risk You’ve got a hook trying to catch the biggest fish And everyone around you thinks its so ridiculous You know youll never be the best in the field But you still feel like theres a place for you Cause you got some real skill But every year that passes is another miss Your name is repeatedly left off another list Your frustrated cause you hate it and your fucking pissed You just want to be mentioned even if its number 26 Writers and critics just wont give you the time of day Clubs and djs don’t want to give you no kind of play But you feel like you got the top of the line rhyme Displaying if you keep working your certain that youll find a way
I’ve been through the same predicament And just like you, I felt like giving in This is a cruel world were living in Its all about the fame and Benjamin’s I’ve been through the same bullshit before And I just cant take it anymore I know it seems like its never gonna get any better But its gotta, cause it cant forever
So your convinced that your baby mommas insane And its painfully obvious that shes not gunna change You swear to god that theres something wrong with her brain Cause shes all about games, crazy power trips and calling you names And its so easy just to wallow in shame and feel helpless Its easier to think of yourself and be real selfish But all you think about is how your daughter is feeling So you brace yourself and take the blows her momma is dealing And it hurts, it just keeps getting worse Even her own family knows that she goes bozurk Shes nothing but a liar, such a big conniver The type of chick that gets pissed off at you And goes and sets your house on fire Dog, I know she works your nerves She does a bunch of foul shit you really don’t deserve But you gotta stay strong and be there for your kid Cause karmas gunna catch up to that chick For all that bullshit that she did
I’ve been through the same predicament And just like you, I felt like giving in This is a cruel world were living in Its all about the fame and Benjamin’s I’ve been through the same bullshit before And I just cant take it anymore I know it seems like its never gonna get any better But its gotta, cause it cant forever
