I find shelter, in this way
|
Undercover, hide away
|
And can you hear when I say
|
I have never felt this way
|
|
Rent due as a matter affect his past due
|
And she'll be crushed if she'll receive in more bad news
|
Sad Cinderella's story, no glass shoe
|
And no fairy tale ending, only cash rules
|
That's enough to make you nuts, no cashews
|
Mama barely even have enough to buy us fast food
|
So we took the risk like what we gotta lose
|
Masked like raccoons, 2 words, jack move
|
Sorry mama, I really am, but really we got a sack to move
|
And I don't see no way up out this gutter inside this classroom
|
Sorry ma, I had to, really I was glad to
|
How long you thought them unemployment checks was gonna last you
|
Now I got 2 kids, already outgrown my dad shoes
|
Cause he just ran away like fuck these rascals
|
That's rude, filled with all these birds that we just add to
|
Dirty as the pile of dirt our names have been dragged through
|
Going back to my grass roots
|
|
I find shelter, in this way
|
Undercover, hide away
|
And can you hear when I say
|
I have never felt this way
|
|
Back over on our side of town
|
We go work but no break room, we out of time to lounge
|
No job history, no checks stubs, just all juices and pounds
|
And then we ball until we catch a flagrant foul
|
No I'm not bowing down, there ain't no fucking way no how
|
It's either the coffin and a tux, or 40 acres and a house
|
He who thinks of giving up should tuck his nuts and wear a blouse
|
Real men face the storm equipped with nothing but a smile
|
I'm staring in my mirror, I'm so motherfucking proud
|
I kept the pride of a lion, even when times got wild
|
I go to hell and back and then go back just for my child, my children
|
Do whatever to keep this food in our mouth
|
And I would serve bullets to whoever interrupt our chow
|
I'm just trying to lift us up like the People's Eyebrow
|
Wow, look at all the hatred I found
|
And all I did was lend a hand to all my folks that stayed down
|
|
I find shelter, in this way
|
Undercover, hide away
|
And can you hear when I say
|
I have never felt this way.
