Lyrics
[Verse 1]
God damn (God damn)
When will a **** get a break?
I work so damn hard but I never come up
I do worse with every breath I take
Sunshine is a luxury
Just to see another day is enough for me
'Cause I'm livin' on borrowed time
The next funeral I go to might be mine
It might be mine
God damn (God damn)
I'm tryna hold on to my faith
They used to tell me it was going to get greater later
Now it's later and I'm still in the same place
Anytime I get off the ground
Some crooked fuckin' ass **** pull me back down
Fall flat on my face
Feeling helpless and it's written all over my face
[Verse 2]
Here we go again, hustling another season
I keep my faith in God, to face these demons
Sometimes I win the battle, but it doesn't mean I win the war
I got to laugh to keep from crying
Good times, I really wonder what they are
[Verse 3]
Even if I fell, there's no reason to feel ashamed
'Cause I used to lose, I had an opportunity to play in the game
I can't be stopped 98 percent from the field
But they won't pass the rock
Even though I'm wide open for the shot
Got me ready to scream fuck my team
Seem like the players I'm running with
Don't want me to touch my dream
With my own hands I'm tired of making money in the name of others
I'm trying to touch it with my own hands
Make me wanna rob a bank sometimes
But then I have to spend my life, my life, my life, my life
Ducking one time
And end up back in the pen
So I'm stuck as a starter, paid as if I'm ridin' a Benz
I know it be looking like I'm rich but I'm not
I just know how to take what I got
And whippin' it until it looks like a lot
Sometimes I wanna give up
But when I look at my daughter
I pick my chin up, I gotta survive
[Verse 4]
Here we go again, hustling another season
I keep my faith in God, to face these demons
Sometimes I win the battle, but it doesn't mean I win the war
I got to laugh to keep from crying
Good times, I really wonder what they are
[Verse 5]
Too many **** trying to take me off of my game
I'm trying to do something good
But because I'm from the hood
I always end up in these chains
When you see me in the town you ain't got to slow down
I'm in love with my own company
Phony homies see me on the TV
And I can see 'em coming to get me in my sleep
That's why I'm staying sucker-free
'Cause dealing with hard times is enough for me
I don't need no help, my ****, I can do bad on my own
I'm so tired, tired, tired, tired
I'm so tired, tired, tired, tired
But I'ma keep on pushing
[Verse 6]
Here we go again, hustling another season
I keep my faith in God, to face these demons
Sometimes I win the battle, but it doesn't mean I win the war
I got to laugh to keep from crying
Good times, I really wonder what they are
What they are?
