I got 52 cents to my name again
it was a long day in the game again
I gotta make (make) do with what I got (with what I got)
woke up thinking I could make a change again
went to work came home same day again
I'm a plain (plain) fool for getting robbed (for getting robbed)
they got me chillin in a traffic jam
listenin to uncle sam
thinking bout the life I should be living and I wonder man
whats keeping me from letting loose and proving I'm the fucking man
when I said that I did it all I meant it now you understand
I'm getting robbed for time I never had
I want it back I want it bad
I want a chance to see my dad before he dies
I want answers just the truth and no lies
I want a chance to make use of this time
real shit I'm in my prime y'all could never tell me what Im worth
I go from work to the studio from the studio I go to work man
man I owe it all to people that probably would never think
that I should ever think that I should ever owe them anything
now thats love (now thats love) naw but really thats just us
I never had much family my friends would keep me up
so if I never get a chance to tell my story its a shame
I'll be stuck at work hoping for a change roof
I got 52 cents to my name again
it was a long day in the game again
I gotta make (make) do with what I got (with what I got)
woke up thinking I could make a change again
went to work came home same day again
I'm a plain (plain) fool for getting robbed (for getting robbed)
as simple as it sounds it never is
I need stability to live
but if I live like this I'm not living
so I'm pushing every day to make a difference
cuz I really want sensations in my feelings
so yeah I know relationships are harder when
I'm always into something and the way its looking things are going south again
I just wanna leave my mark on the mind of the youth
even if its only for a second but really I want forever
really I'm more prepared for adventuring
I'm endeavorous gimme something so powerful I could never forget of it
every second you thought passed never did
that was all an illusion thats how get us here
you never lived you never faced a fear
and then you wonder how you ended up complacent here
now you sitting and watching the years pass
I won't let it be me I gotta make this here last why? man cuz I got
52 cents to my name again
it was a long day in the game again
I gotta make (make) do with what I got (with what I got)
woke up thinking I could make a change again
went to work came home same day again
I'm a plain (plain) fool for getting robbed (for getting robbed)
lemme finish X4
nights are getting longer, days are getting shorter
as I pace around the floor of the studio just getting older
do it all to leave an imprint I'm harboring the henchmen
inside of me but really I just wanna let em wreck shit
run rampant live love laugh then you passin
if you happy then Im happy its just us in this chapter
but I'm not happy I'm content
thats just the state of mind I'm in
I'm steady searching for a way to make these ends with...
I got 52 cents to my name again
it was a long day in the game again
I gotta make (make) do with what I got (with what I got)
woke up thinking I could make a change again
went to work came home same day again
I'm a plain (plain) fool for getting robbed (for getting robbed)
