[Intro]
First of the month, feel the weight
Stretch out my hand, gotta make it straight
Small joys in the fridge, a little grace
Living these struggles, fighting through the chase
[Verse 1]
Clock strikes anew, got my stamps in hand
Gotta stretch that dollar, do the best I can
Gas at 4.99, still I roll on
Two galaxies in my pocket, till the payday dawn
Five dollars left, just a little hope
Walking these streets, trying to cope
Mama’s smile when she got paid today
Bills on the table, we find our way
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a battle, but I stand tall
Surviving each month, breaking down mall walls
From the curb to the stove, hear my story
Struggles and hope, all in my glory
[Chorus]
It’s the first of the month, time to grind
Food in the fridge, peace in my mind
In these streets, I gotta stay strong
Living my story, where I belong
[Bridge]
No silver spoons, just hope in my soul
Every little win, makes me whole
From dawn to dusk, I keep the faith
Mama’s love, my escape
[Outro]
First of the month, we rise again
Through the struggle, find the zen
With love and hope, we push through
Living these streets, staying true
