Lyrics

chorus:
everytime i wake up (vocal)
yes, life goes on, we go through our struggles but we still stand strong/
every time i wake up
yeah life goes on, put your hands in the air make a fist out your palms/

verese:
now every time i try to lift my head to the stars/ my dreams keep on crashing like its kanye's car/ on top of that cant get no cash/ bout to push more crack than fat joe and jlos ass/ just to get past day to day struggle/ you'd think i lived in the 80s by the way i always go to hustle/but i have to cause i cant find work and right now jobs are harder to find than whoopie goldbergs eyebrows/
try going from place to place/ smiling in empolyers face know you aint geting anything cause of braids and a dark face/ but aint it odd/ slaves will work all to hard, but were no longer nigers no niggas cant get a job/ so to eat we rely of the lyrics and the beat hope that everyone feels all the lyrics that i speak cause i swear we gone get rich of these tracks and cope more whips than jesus christ had on his back/

through it all i seen the smoke clear again and again/ the facts of life my soul my beats told through a pen/ street fights/ dark nights the drugs that took my friend/ heart breaks to shake ups man/ when will it end/ times are hard paradise aint here got a couple reasons why we gotta pop them beers/ trying to fight my tears/ trying to get things clear/ trying to drive in the fast lane and cant switch gears/ i got a lot on my shoulders my culture my name/ see myself in the mirror trying to point that blame trying to expalin situations pointless confrontations/ patient but im waiting cause guessing is irritaing/ aching but im thinknig so thinking is painful planning/ standing but demanding why your own got you scanning/ my family, my music the cases the racisists the ones that say they love us by know they always hate us/

everytime i wake up (chorus x2)
