Subway Rap

Another day another struggle Another hustle for a dollar These hard times make you wanna holler Walking down this road it's so hard to follow Waking up everyday praying you get to see tomorrow Some people broke so they beg and they borrow Some people got tears because they choose to live in sorrow But me I'm trying to make it in this life I'm living in Get my babies out the hood and get us some dividends Before I'm giving in I'll be standing out here rhyming Ain't no ladder down here, but I'm still climbing I'm in the rough right now, I feel like I'm a diamond You clean me up right now, I bet I start shining Tired of being broke and being poor. Rapping and wanting more Standing down here in the subway when I should be on tour Living in Englewood when should stay by Lake Shore Everyday I be fighting and I don't know what it's for Why am I in a war I don't even understand me Out here rapping everyday to try to feed my family I should be out in Miami somewhere winning Grammy But I still struggle every day, god-dammit Gotta be a poor life I'm living here Going through these problems everyday Trying to be an upright citizen Ya'll don't even notice me Since I'm broke and known as street spitting poetry They don't throw no dough for me They tell me hopelessly, "one day you gon shine" But I guess I'm not there yet cause it's probably ain't my time There's younger cats that feel like they better than This young man that stayed up late like his name was David Letterman You got the key to the door then you need to let him in I got the flow to remember, you never forget again I'm in you head, bitch a headache like some medicine Yo my last name should be SoLow Excedrin Now name another rapper I'm not better than I be out here preaching, reaching ya'll like a reverend I know your train coming soon If you don't like me tonight, I'm taking flight and be back tomorrow afternoon Right here in the same spot, tell me I ain't hot Who you know that rock Chicago when it's cold and tank top I'm over flowing yeah I always spitted I give you a free show everyday without a ticket But still I'm not signed they don't say I'm good enough Maybe because I don't dress hood enough And maybe I don't understand it because I'm brilliant in a state of panic Feel like I'm going crazy like I'm turning into a schizophrenic Dammit Lord they gotta be a blessing The demons always testing my dome never resting I deal with plenty questions Last year I lost my momma in October This year is November and I'm trying to stay closer But she's not around me so I'm dealing with this drama Man I really miss my momma I wonder why my baby gotta grow up crazy Maybe cos the lady that I got pregnant she didn't love me cause they didn't pay me It seems like when the deal didn't come she ran away Now I'm down here by myself grinding on CTA I go and pick up my kids like every weekend I gotta bring some trauma just so I can see them And when I pick them up she be asking for money Don't you know the court then already took that dummy? I'm going through struggles can't even pay my taxes People tell me that I'm lacking, I'm sleeping on the mattress I ain't got no bed My hair fell off that's the reason I cut my dreads They say I'm going crazy, I'm trying to get some bread While these cats get signed and they been working with the feds I wonder why I'm living how I'm living, I was better in prison I come out to the world and it seem like the love is missing Cause everybody think they can rap Just because you know how to rhyme, don't mean that you are good on the track But they don't understand me, yo these rappers don't want to listen They too arrogant nowadays they don't pay attention They see Chief Keef he got his shirt off and he dancing They think that's the way to go they don't even chance it They just sell they soul for a couple of dollars Then they say that they made cause they was working harder Man, I'm a real father so please don't judge Especially if you go home and bump some Young Thug
