Willie of Wilshire - Days Before I Win

Life sucks when you living real broke, living with no hope
Thru it all I never broke, throw me in the jungle Ima come out with a coat
Life sucks when you living real broke, living with no hope
Days before I win, Days before I win

I remember back when I was struggling, working 2 jobs I was juggling
Trying to pay the rent I would go pray, that I'd find a way outta no way
Stepping on big roaches in the house, (squash) sleeping on the couch
Being broke drove me loco, thought about moving that Coco
Esses outside throwing gang signs, had it all drugs, guns and crime
I done made it where you couldn't, where statistics said I wouldn't
Look me eye to eye see you not me, you could never make it where my block be
See determination I'm a winner, God forgive me but I grew up with the sinners

I done made it thru the hunger, a lot of days I used to wonder
Why the rain and all the thunder? And if I die would I go right up or under
Born to lose, took the L made a W, I done put in work I mean double you
Better get my M and another M, pull up in my ends in another Benz
Skurting on ya haters never doubt me, never count me out you better count me
Better pay me back what the amount be, I done paid my dues don't discount me
Long way from Guatemala, growing up never had nada
No hakuna matata, life full of worries will I live to see manana
Police firing, saw a lot of violence, didn't have no one to close my eyelids
Chopper in the sky had no silence, drive bys, ambulances, sirens
I done made it thru the struggle, every time I fumbled
I got back up, man you better back up, you know where I'm from don't wanna act up
