[Lyrics]
Yeah, I try to be a g.
I can barely hear and see.
I opened up my eyes and got capped at my knees.
Working hard to survive, to get my keys.
At a job 12 to 9, will I be doing this to the day I die?
Or will my needs be met, and they take a couple of dollars to end up with 50 cents.
Nothing ever makes sense.
Will it ever make sense?
[Prechorus]
The struggle is real.
When you're living in this world.
[Chorus]
They want to take ,take,take,take.
All we do is give,give,give,give.
I got so much on my plate,it's so hard when all they do is take,take.
It's a cat and mouse chase. It's a cat and mouse chase. Chase.
[Verse 2]
I got so much going on in my brain. How can I pay for these bills?
It's causing my heart so much pain,am I failure? Let's be real.
I know I can't afford much,how about the rest of you?
They would sell me broken wheels,these are some of the shady things they will do to you.
[Verse 3]
They ask me what they see me doing in 5 years?
I tell them I don't know,I am barely making it tomorrow with broken gears.
Today, I keep living in fear.
My hope is starting to disappear.
[Prechorus]
The struggle is real.
When are you living in this world.
[Chorus]
They want to take ,take,take,take.
All we do is give,give,give,give.
I got so much on my plate,it's so hard when all they do is take,take.
It's a cat and mouse chase. It's a cat and mouse chase. Chase.
[Prechorus]
The struggle is real.
When you're living in this world.
[Chorus]
They want to take ,take,take,take.
All we do is give,give,give,give.
I got so much on my plate,it's so hard when all they do is take,take.
It's a cat and mouse chase. It's a cat and mouse chase. Chase.
[Bridge ]
I hope to get over that hump,as these leftover roots are creating these stumps.
This long winding road is full of obstacles and bumps.
I can't seem to run , these stray bullets are hitting me with an empty barrel gun.
All it does is cause bodies count to stack high as money making machine.
[Prechorus]
The struggle is real.
When you're living in this world.
[Chorus]
They want to take ,take,take,take.
All we do is give,give,give,give.
I got so much on my plate,it's so hard when all they do is take,take.
It's a cat and mouse chase. It's a cat and mouse chase. Chase.
[Outro]
We are poor,we are lost.
We are dead,buried underneath the rocks.
We are lost sheeps,hoping to be found.
They don't want us alive as they wear the crowns.
