[Verse 1: Jito]

My back was backed all the way to the wall

And it felt like my foundation was cracked and I’d fall

When you’re faced with more questions than answers, it’s hard

They say that help is on the way, to just keep trusting in God

They said help was on the way but I saw nothing at all

So it was either have faith, wait, hustle, or starve

So I got my hustle on, thought I had my hustle strong

Got out there, got hustled, yeah I had my hustle wrong

And we was still hungry, still needed food to eat

Still dead broke, still one move from the streets

Still has access to the steel, I could steal and eat

But I refuse to steal from someone doing bad as me

So with the world on my back like Atlas

I realized that God’s in the lane waiting on that pass

See I tried my way like Usher

Nothing left to do but trust you, I’mma trust ya


[Hook: Dre Murray] [2x]

Yeah, I had my back to the wall

Head up, praying I don’t trip and fall

Man, nothing left to do but stand

In this crazy world doing all I can, man


[Spoken: Dre Murray]

Man, baby girl, I just don’t want you struggle like, you know

I had struggle, you know I want you to have more than what I had

I mean it wasn’t the worst, but you know

Daddy had to a lot of things that he really didn’t wanna do

You know, but, but, but


[Verse 2: Dre Murray]

Your daddy is a hustler without the crack

I got a nine to seven to be exact but get a

Nine to five I’m in overdrive

And what you hear right now, this is overtime

See I can’t rewind back to the days of old

When anything was sold just to buy some clothes

Just to buy some gas, I would cut the class

Sold my beat machine, he only gave me half

And I was mad, like homie this is top of the line

How am I supposed to rhyme with no beat in mind?

You must be doing them lines if you think that I’m taking

Only like $19.99, you say 20, there fine

Then I’m out the door, ‘cause I gotta explore

This big world, ‘cause I gotta get more

So just like an eagle I soar to the next adventure

Hoop fans said I had potential

To be the next Tyrone Ellis, but now I’m getting jealous

This dude overseas, making that big cheese

Me, I’m on my knees, asking God, “Please

Please show me purpose right now, I feel worthless

Like I can’t cope. Should I grab rope?

Call my kinfolk and slang coke? No

With you I found hope

Thought my life was done but found faith in the Son."


[Hook] [4x]

Yeah, I had my back to the wall

Head up, praying I don’t trip and fall

Man, nothing left to do but stand

In this crazy world doing all I can, man
