Everyday
[Verse 1: Mega Ran]
I know how it feel to wake up caked up
Everything love-ly then suddenly a pay cut
People look at you like it's your fault
Bills don't stop so now you gotta do your part
We products of tough schools chasing money and truck jewels Taught that was the only way to bust through
Like these shorties in Virginia, put a couple hollows in ya
Leave ya laying by the river just to prove that they was some hittas
Hit Uncle Bobby didn't even need to rob em - if they asked he would probably gave his last to anybody
Two families broken, damage irreparable
Hasn't been the same since I doubt that it ever will
Can't help thinking if somebody would of told em
They were kings and then showed em
The direction they would go in
Cause GED, wasn't R.A.N
PH.d or bust, I was always in
Some kinda summer program in the burbs
Kuhn Day Camp
Props to the parents who try to do all they can
Cuz yo, I said it before and said it again
The only real gangsters are in federal pens
Or dead on a whim, it's a game you never can win
Pick another vocation to be competitive in
And catch it if you can like the gingerbread man
Success is always the plan, but man
[Hook: Mega Ran]
The struggle is real, the struggle is true
Sometimes nobody understands the struggle but you
But we gotta get right, some how some way some day
And we gone get by, some how some way some day
The struggle is real, the struggle is true
Sometimes nobody understands the struggle but you
But we gotta get right, some how some way some day
And we gone get by, some how some way some day
[Verse 2: Penny The Great]
The school that I'm from not too many people survived
The streets ate them alive too much pride to work a nine to five
The way we came up though I'm really not surprised
A lot of rage in our blood we decedents of a lost tribe
And I can only speak on mines when I tell my story
Had to make a buck fast since I was a shorty
No glory in the struggle but it taught me how to hustle
Be slicker than hair grease and slide up out of trouble
I rather wake up early so I can get a fresh start
There's no mercy in this world so you gotta have a strong heart
You gotta pay your bills, you gotta feed your kids
You can't make no excuses, you just handle biz
Develop mental callus so my thoughts are never weak
I'm taking chances with my freedom everyday up on these streets
Some people never understand they life is in a bubble
So I'ma tell the story of my everyday struggles
[Hook: Mega Ran]
The struggle is real, the struggle is true
Sometimes nobody understands the struggle but you
But we gotta get right, some how some way some day
And we gone get by, some how some way some day
The struggle is real, the struggle is true
Sometimes nobody understands the struggle but you
But we gotta get right, some how some way some day
And we gone get by, some how some way some day
[Verse 3: Jermiside]
Too many things that tear my heart, don't know where the start
Try to never spare a dart, so yo lemme share a part
Hard when you glare around and everywhere you stare is dark
Should I leave it unsaid? Or everything is fair in art?
Fears of the unknown that hover like a canopy
How can it be I'm trying but feel I’m failing my family
Whether if I hustle with mics or move mechanically
All the strife larger than life just like a manatee
Staring at the vanity, I zone
While fighting with myself to keep my sanity and tighten up my home
Wishing I could maybe brighten, even lighten up dome
Brain clashin' like a titan as writing up a poem
I'm getting paid penny, mistakes I made many
But still I gave plenty jewels ain't no slave in me
Gotta play to win, when the walls caving in
Gotta fight hard just like a lifeguard saving men
[Hook: Mega Ran]
The struggle is real, the struggle is true
Sometimes nobody understands the struggle but you
But we gotta get right, some how some way some day
And we gone get by, some how some way some day
The struggle is real, the struggle is true
Sometimes nobody understands the struggle but you
But we gotta get right, some how some way some day
And we gone get by, some how some way some day
