I never dreamed of a better way I get paid
All day every day’s the only way this kid plays
Get all the money and women forever getting blazed
But I’m sober, broker than ever and never get laid
Needless to say things don’t always work out how you plan
‘Least we can that we never gave up and demand
Better days better pay with cheddar in hand
Over seas or at least on the road in a caravan
Been making moves for ever and a life time or two
Can’t tell you how many vibes it took to find a groove
But I’m the truth ain’t no reason for me to lie to you
There’s not many like me although you might find a few
Let’s set it straight in the mix this isn’t no cop out
Blaming education and saying it’s ‘cause I dropped out
I know I’m worth my weight in gold and I’ll be goddamned
If you never see what I am from what I’m not now
Chorus(x2)
‘Cause every day we sit and wonder why we ain’t paid (paid)
Like we always walking down a road that ain’t paved (paved)
We making moves but still sitting in the same place
Like “Everyday” but on the grind in every way
Cuts
“Sick of living life chasing dollar bills”
Mane Rok-
Sick of complaining that I ain’t got no dough man(e)
People staring at me like the subject is so strange
Not worried about birds or the fact I got no game
I wake up everyday with a queen in my bed it’s no thang
When the sun rises it’s my nose to the stone
‘cause I’m knowing my throne feels hella empty broke and alone
OK been known to groan but act like I’m holding my own
Watching others feast while I’m choking on bones
Indulging in scraps I ask “How do I fix this?”
The sickness that makes money stacking none of my business
Pissed it’s not based on skills I’d fill the list kids
If it in fact was but you know it isn’t
So in turn I had to learn how I was gonna make some
Duckets and bucks at the bottom is where I’d scrap’em
Busted as fuck being ignorant, Naw I played dumb
Heard what snakes said lifted my head and got my game up
Chorus
Cuts
Bridge
Cuts
“make dollars and cents”
Everybody on the grind
Everytime it’s on your mind
Everyday think of new ways to get a dime
Every minute wasted gone
Every bet we placed it on
Everyday that we waited took way to long
