Kross0v3r - Working Class

Yeah
Tryna' catch the beat, I'm tryna'
Tryna' catch the beat, I'm tryna'
Tryna' stay on my feet, I'm tryna'
Back on the grind, yeah
Been on my mind, yeah
Back on my rhymes, yeah
Turn my headphones up
Uh, yo
Wake in the morning, before I brush my teeth
Go to look into the fridge, but it's nothing good to eat
Forgot I didn't go grocery shopping last week
And I still need to call the landlord 'bout that leak in the sink
And the vents not blowing out heat
But next month, bet he try to go up on the lease
And I still gotta hit the laundromat to wash the sheets
But the bus be so crowded that I wouldn't find a seat
So I'm standing, planning, thinking 'bout my next move
How can I get the world to dance to my next groove? (How can I?)
Tell me the things I gotta do to try and improve (Tell me)
'Cause lately, the only thing I found is an excuse ('Cause lately)
It's telling everything that I can't do (That I can't do)
Everything I'm not, and the stuff I can't prove (Stuff I can't prove)
And part of me likes to think that it's right
That's why the other half of me gotta gear up and fight, ya know
Everybody wanna be something
But everybody can't always be what they wanna be
It was fun for us to dream back then
Now we older, so it's back to they plans
Everybody wanna be something
But everybody can't always be what they wanna be
It was fun for us to dream back then
Now we older, so it's back to they plans
Uh, yo, look
And I think that's messed up
It's kids that wanna grow to be doctors, lawyers, honest employers
That don't implore ya, to work on a dime
Fill yo' pockets with money but the crime is the time that we spent (That we spent)
Working just to make it to the weekend (Weekend)
Too bad, that you spent the whole time sleeping (Sleeping)
Monday morning, so it's back to the grind
That's the cycle that we in so the actions is blind ya know?
Our community is far from unity (Community, unity)
You say it's stupidly, I say it's humanly (Stupidly, humanly)
Blame the system, it's only but a symptom
They try to lock us in, like we living in a prison
From a hood, to a country, it's war (It's war!)
Little kid on the block only wanna explore (Wanna explore)
Now his pastor at the funeral, reading out his eulogy
All because the kid got caught wearing his jewelry
Everybody wanna be something
But everybody can't always be what they wanna be
It was fun for us to dream back then
Now we older, so it's back to they plans
Everybody wanna be something
But everybody can't always be what they wanna be
It was fun for us to dream back then
Now we older, so it's back to they plans
Day by day it's getting harder to cope
Like walking on a tightrope going farther from hope
Because we got a lot of evil all across the globe
It makes the pain run deep, so we turn to the dope, it's crazy
We got babies without dads, without moms (Without dads, without moms)
Going through a world of endless stress and hard times (Hard times)
Who could think that a single parent would be apparent?
It's like reality come and go I don't understand it
But who am I to judge? Who am I to think?
I'm just a nobody, nobody, nobody (Nobody, nobody, nobody)
Who am I to judge? Who am I to blame?
I'm just a nobody, nobody, nobody (Nobody, nobody, nobody)
Don't mean to hurt, if I did offend
Then I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry (So sorry, so sorry, so sorry)
Didn't mean to hurt, if I did offend, I apologize
