about

This track features an awesome female emcee and friend Queen Zenobia.
I imagined this track as the day after the night of drinking. Back to reality.

lyrics

I stay out of trouble as I Break out the bubble
try to build up my hustle watch the strength in my muscle
Subtle I need to eat shelter I need to sleep
peep the heat of my struggle to this beat.

I go to work, like six days a week
who says on my off day that I’m really free
Even on a bended knee is a stimulus check a remedy
or just some bs that they’re giving me?

Overplay for the under play
I know about the brighter days
I carry in a lighter case and light it with the stress filled days
Seem stuck in a ghetto maze

Wake up no make up it’s time for the shake up
they bake up and lay up do anything for that paper
Get ready for that caper it may be your neighbor or a stranger
the danger is real. the fight for the dollar is ill
as a scholar I build

Dayummm! That’s what I’m saying every day I’m
Looking at a bunch of bills and ain’t no way to pay em
P.m. to the a.m. my cards and how I play em
got a bunch of demons ain’t got no way to slay em.
 
Like I’m too woke I can’t go back to sleep again
lookin at the bright side the Darkside keeps creeping in
The rat race is leaving a bad taste
I’m not depressed the world is a sad place
 
The less you’re blind and the more you learn about
Can stress your mind and make it start burning out
Ignorance is bliss till your hit with a fist
Then start getting the gist of all the shit that you missed
 
quote my other album if you did not really know
Same struggles going on almost everywhere you go
Try to focus.. while the rest still dazed
they don't notice... the stress filled days
