[Intro: Cordae]

Uh huh, let’s vibe out one time

Uh, yo, yo, yo

Yo, yo, yo

Yo, yo, yo, yo

Uh, okay

[Verse: Cordae]

I done witnessed shit on the daily that drive me crazy

Waking up to yelling and screaming, and crying babies

Mama stressing all of my brethren is dyin' lately

I'm not lyin', all this defiance is tryna break me

But I stand strong as a man should in these times

Food stamps and Section 8 got me pushin' these dimes

Down bad on my ass, now I’m looking for crime

All alone just a young nigga looking to shine

FOX5 gon’ portray me as a predator

Tell ‘em that I’m dumb, and I tote guns, etcedera

Getting high up in the sky close to nebula

On the side, trying to get by, shit is regular, but never up

I'm tryna' get my cheddar up, and better all my relatives

It seems it forever rough, but nigga I done said enough

Cause they won't listen, my brother in prison

And I don't understand what the fuck I’m missing

In this life of mine, in delight of mine

Got the brightest sign, in the night I shine

For a better day, trying to get it each and every way

Lord forgive us please, let us pray, ‘cause

[Chorus: Cordae]

‘Cause the times is getting harder (Uh, uh, yeah, yeah)

Uh, the enemies getting smarter (Uh, uh, uh)

But why would I bother (Uh, uh)

I just try to try harder (Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t)

Cause when the shine don’t shine tonight (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I’m gon’ beg the sunshine (No, no, don’t, don’t)

When the sun don’t shine tonight (Don’t, don’t)
