[Chorus] x2
You can see it in my (eyes)
You can see it in my (eyes)
I've been living my life feeling like I've been short changed
I just know that I've been short changed
[Verse 1]
I put myself out on a limb for my people
I do whatever on a whim for my people
And still I suffer for it
I guess I'm just a s**er for it (I guess I'm just a s**er for it)
I'm like the very lowest roam with my people
But I'd take a bullet from a gun for my people
And how I suffer for it
I always seem to suffer for it (I guess I'm just a s**er for it)
See, see it's like the minute that I'm in it I go one hundred percent and it's never reciprocated, though I shouldn't resent it
I know, but the tears still flow, oh
And even when no one is looking I'm here bending over backwards when things are get heavy for me all I want is for them to have my back but they don't
No they dont
[Chorus] x2
[Verse 2]
I put myself out on a limb with my music
They told me I could never win with my music
And yeah I suffered for (Yeah you suffered for it)
You better believe I suffered for it (I guess I'm just a s**er for it)
sh**, I dug myself into a pit with my music
'cause I don't compromise for sh** with my music
And guess who suffers for it? (Better believe I suffer for it)
And that's why I'm like f** 'em for it (That's why I'm like f** 'em for it)
I know you're putting it all into your pa**ion, but still you're stuck there and struggling while other people get rich of the ba*tardization of it, you try and you try but life just doesn't let up
Yeah, I know
You burn every paycheck the same day you got it
And the only thing you've made yet is the strain on your pocket
Yeah I know, wanna know how I know?
