Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look how hard Mama work just trying to get by
(Hey)
And enough ghetto youth, so they still want no get no bly
(Hey, hey, hey)
Just keep on the hustle 'cause we have to stay 'pon the grind
(Hey, hey)
Don't give up on your dreams 'cause you know the sun will shine
(Hey, hey, hey)
The sun will shine
[Verse 2]
From early in the morning to late at night
See Mama scrapin' for nickels and dimes
On the salary she's makin', we can barely survive
Tell me is there something greater in this life?
[Verse 3]
Wait, said Mama
Patience, said Mama
Breaking down is not an option
Make it happen. my son
[Verse 4]
Look how hard Mama work just trying to get by
(Hey)
And enough ghetto youth, so they still want no get no bly
(Hey, hey, hey)
Just keep on the hustle 'cause we have to stay 'pon the grind
(Hey, hey)
Don't give up on your dreams 'cause you know the sun will shine
(Hey, hey, hey)
The sun will shine
[Verse 5]
How much more can my mama take?
Now, I've got to step up to the plate
Can't afford to make mistakes
Ain't no time to waste
[Verse 6]
Wait, said Mama
Patience, said Mama
Breaking down is not an option
Make it happen somehow
[Verse 7]
Look how hard Mama work just trying to get by
(Hey)
And enough ghetto youth, so they still want no get no bly
(Hey, hey, hey)
Hey hey
Just keep on the hustle 'cause we have to stay 'pon the grind
(Hey, hey)
Don't give up on your dreams 'cause you know the sun will shine
(Hey, hey, hey)
The sun will shine
[Verse 8]
To all the system I make it so hard
From California straight to New York
From Chicago goin' straight to her yard
People everywhere dem haffi work and ah strife
[Verse 9]
Can't get a visa fi fly over the borderline
Everywhere I go, them facing much harder times
They know the grass nuh greener pon di other side
But me still want see one we can't find
[Verse 10]
Look how hard mama work just trying to get by
(Hey)
And enough ghetto youth, so they still want no get no bly
(Hey, hey, hey)
Just keep on the hustle 'cause we have to stay 'pon the grind
(Hey, hey)
Don't give up on your dreams 'cause you know the sun will shine
(Hey, hey, hey)
The sun will shine
[Verse 11]
Look how hard Mama work just trying to get by
(Hey)
And enough ghetto youth, so they still want no get no bly
(Hey, hey, hey)
Just keep on the hustle 'cause we have to stay 'pon the grind
(Hey, hey)
Don't give up on your dreams 'cause you know the sun will shine
(Hey, hey, hey)
The sun will shine
