[Verse 1] Unfortunate for me, I couldn't afford to be fortunate sh**, more like the kid misfortune never missed According to the landlord I'm poor as piss Trying to get this poor a recording hit But down low, it's only shows supporting this Which I really don't know how the touring gets And I didn't just come here to moan and b**h Grown folks spittin' for their own kids' benefit, it's The return of the poor man's rap For those who don't own homes off coke rap There ain't enough love so we're showing that So them old school cats now broke from rap It's mostly the poor that most MCs ignore While most these MCs were born and grew up poor We'll be slaving in the old workforce To pay for a government that don't work for us [Hook] (Oh my) oh, just trying to get by, lord I'm (So tired) fighting to get my, trying to get my (Low ride) though it ain't for me lately, it don't faze me (Alright) cause I make money, money don't make me [Verse 2] Fortunately, I believe that we can all agree It is what it is, not what we thought it'd be And if what I live ain't what I'm called to be I must have mistrained my psychology And it's mystery, ain't it, the kids exist among us miscreated History is just like a train without a destination We need food, clothes, and shelter So we hustle till we're old and helpless And if you do only go for the gold and wealth You're still alone cause you don't know yourself At the end of the day, still gotta eat, still gotta feed your kids Still gotta light and heat the crib I overstand that, nobody planned that And single mothers asking where the f** their man at But life demand that we do it for love From student to thug, from the schools to the clubs, it goes: [Hook x2] Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh oh my [repeat] (fade to end)
