(Intro) (With Hook In Background) Yeah, you know, sometimes life is harsh man, you know, it's how you look at it.
(Hook) I'm counting down the days, working over night Trying to find ways to better my life And I know that this road keeps turning And I don't know which way to go
(Verse 1) Yeah, I'm tired of being broke, I've said it once, I'll say it again Don't you hate when you're low on cash so low that you cannot pay your rent? Cuz I do, I hate that, you see me driving a maybach? I don't think so cuz I'm stuck driving this grey cab
(Hook x2) I'm counting down the days, working over night Trying to find ways to better my life And I know that this road keeps turning And I don't know which way to go
(Verse 2) Man I'm sick of this, the pain I feel is ridiculous Envision this, little boy that never fit in, showed no interest Down with his face in a notebook, trying to write rhymes like yo look I think this is it I love her, pictures on his wall all over Of rappers he looks up to, he went from hi to fuck you His mood changed, became strange, rap made him nuts, so insane I think I should try this, he says to himself I really like this, maybe I can make this dream of mine if I focus my iris! But wait a minute, here's what they call an obstacle My voice sounds too much like uh yeah, they must of separated at the hospital It's a gift and a curse, thats what I call it, dammit it hurts, now an alcoholic And every verse I'm thinking what would of happened if I was put on first
(Hook x2) I'm counting down the days, working over night Trying to find ways to better my life And I know that this road keeps turning And I don't know which way to go
(Verse 3) I've been through shit, I've been through hell So many tears I've shed for myself I've had the good, I've had the bad, more bad then good, I hate the fact But dammit, I stuck to rap cuz man it Help me get back, up from the granite Jump in the air with a pump in my shoes and I fell down standing! That's what I call a winner, a champion at heart You fall you get back up and fight and show them who you are Come on Denace, get up! I know you're fucking fed up Come on don't you let up, it's only a matter of time before things get better Maybe you're right so I hold it down When I hold this mic I'm homeward bound I gotta show my best when I throw it down There's no demon out here that can hold me down I've seen cash I've been poor, I've been high, I've been low The greatest things I've seen go, so cherish what you have and keep it close Don't you cry it'll be alright, wipe them tears look at the sky You see the stars? Thats what you are just look inside you You just gotta find it, it's there behind that dark cloud you've built inside you Just clear it and show the world, don't hide it!
(Hook x2) I'm counting down the days, working over night Trying to find ways to better my life And I know that this road keeps turning And I don't know which way to go
(Outro) Man, it's okay, just keep your head up no matter what. There's always good in that bad just like there's bad in good you know what I'm saying. Just gotta level it out somehow. Keep your head up man.
