Joell Ortiz - Another Struggle lyrics

[Intro: Joell Ortiz] Another day, another struggle Another day, another struggle Joell Ortiz, that's me V.I.C on this track baby, I see [Verse 1: Joell Ortiz] Another day, another struggle Everytime it rains in p's, I seem to walk in the puddle God as my witness, I don't want to hustle But that phone bill is payed if I finish that last bundle It's gettin' cold, and I make sure my son, Bundle He gettin' big, can't fit his clothes from last year That's new shirts, new pants, new footwear New Coatward coat for me to cook yeah I know exactly what them housing letters look like Don't pink slips look bright on that brown door That means you going out of business like Caldor Moms riffin' like what they're trying to put me out for Face to face we had to fight it like a south paw Them case workers to busy runnin' their mouths off We down all day from 7 to 3, just for them to reschedule everything for next week [Hook: Joell Ortiz] You can't fit in my shoes, if you never had to hustle And live by the words another day, another struggle You can't fit in my shoes, if your life wasn't real And you ain't live check to check tryin' to catch up to bills You can't fit in my shoes, if you've never been broke And bang yourself looking for something to k** that roach You can't fit in my shoes, if you've never asked god Why we live like this, why is life so hard [Verse 2: Joell Ortiz] Remember that white money with the staples The only reason there was something occasionally on the table Remember that month you felt good you was able to turn on that cable, they turned off the cable The next month the cable been knockin' but you stayed shush You burned Papi down the hall to get it hooked up My moms sent me to the neighbor with a letter and told me not to read it I read it trying to keep my head up Walked in the crib like ma here's the ketchup Ran to my room, facing the sheets, I wet the bed up They wouldn't let up, in tears that is Wish I was there 15 years ago to hear that kid Just to let him know that he ain't the only shorty going through it In 15 years from then he'll be finally flowin' stupid But ain't no time machines, so ya'll can give shorty all my rhymes Every line is mean [Hook] [Verse 3: Joell Ortiz] Look Mami they built an ice cream truck Joell get your but over here you don't need any ice cream What, that ain't the good truck that ice cream s**s That was the excuse, Mami ain't had a nice clean buck But listen Mami I hold nothing against you We was all alone on our own when pops left you And that vanilla and sprinkles was nothing special You sprinkled Vicks on my chest and said bless you Sneezin', and wheezin', and asthma speechin' You ain't leave my bed side til I was fast asleep And when I was coughin' up in the middle of the night I looked up and you was there and you made hard livin' all right [Hook]
