Verse 1

I'm up late and I can't sleep

The dream I had

Felt like I was in

The nightmare on elm street

I'm sweatin

Palms itchin

Can't enter me without any type

Of medicine

I just wanna

Snooze off and forget about my day

School stressin me over grades

And I gotta walk to work

Even in the rain

What else could I say?

Its life I deal with it everyday

Imagine how life is gonna be

After I graduate

Bills after bills

I could careless how you feel

Cause I gotta make shit happen

Hopefully in 10 years

I'll be dropping classics

After that I go back

To my regular self

I need help

But nobody gonna do it

My main influence

Has been music

Y'all niggas just talk

I'm like Nike I just do it

(Hook: Taew$)

Just another day

With ya boy cream

From rags to riches yea

Ya boy is living his dream

Just another day

With ya boy cream

From rags to riches yea

Ya boy is living his dream

Verse 2

Times are ruff now

I understand that

But you can't just

Up and leave and abandoned them

Problems follow you

No matter where you go

It sucks when you don't

Even have ya own cash flow

I remember when my pops didn't have a whip

So we use the metro

Live about 30 minutes away

Walking in the blizzard cold

I spit stories

Even though y'all don't know

Too much about me

You see

Ya own friends eventually become

Ya own enemies

Doing so good

All they do is just hate

Ya people eating good

And everything is great

But there's people

Who you thought

Was ya dawg

Become a snake

(Hook)

Verse 3

Every time I hear a siren

It ain't nothing new

Its probably Someone house on fire

Or somebody dying

Most people tell the truth

But will still be consider lying

This generation fuck up

Can't even get by without trying

Walking down my block

Uneven crack roads

It ain't nothing new

Hearing people

Screaming with a hoarse throat

Bayous dirty sewer water

Sometimes I wish this world

Was a bit calmer

But you see

This the shit that revolves around us

People that we don't even know

Label us thugs

So quickly to judge

But people

Will always commit sins

And this the cycle

That never seems to end

Most niggas pretend to be

Your day ones

But when you struggling

Who's there to depend on?

Nobody

And if they don't stick around

Fuck em!

I'm older now

I gotta learn some ways

That eventually reflect on me today

And once I'm older

I got mouths to feed

Eventually

I'll be proud of myself

Till then

Let a nigga be

I'm only 17 with big dreams

That I will eventually achieve

But for now

I gotta eat

(Hook)
