Hard to follow my dreams workin this 9 to 5 People keep tellin me my check is on the way So sun up to sundown I'm grindin, tryin to make it by Prayin for my shift to come and take away the pain That day is finally here (x3) New shoes, new clothes, new whip, new chain, New wrist, knew that, knew this, finally here That day is finally here (x2) New shoes, new clothes, new whip, new chain New wrist, knew that, knew this
[Verse 1:] No, no I won't settle for nothing less than the air that I breathe I-I-I know it's a struggle, but who the hell g'on do it for me Who the hell g'on do it free If I don't get up and bust my ass, that's my motto I can't put my faith in the lotto, luck don't stay nowhere near where I go Unless you ride that muthafucka And you be lucky enough to get away, in the grave What can I do, what can I say, I tried to get paid But I got grazed, the bullet went through But I ain't get paid, Now what do I appreciate?
