I'm facing trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob, cheat, steal or borrow
I need to take it slow
My heart is growing cold
I'm trying to hide my feelings
From the people that I know
And everywhere I go
I'm trying to lay low
Can't afford to get in no trouble 'cause I'm on parole
I'm trying to live life right
God knows with all my might
But I'm just barely getting by
'Cause money's way too tight
But I can say this by
The struggle and the fight
It's weakin' all the muscles in my body like kryptonite
It's making me feel like there is no other way
But to hit the streets and get that dough, yeah
Got me hoping and praying for a better day, so
I'm facing trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob, cheat, steal or borrow
I'm facing trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob, cheat, steal or borrow
Streets, I ain't no longer on it
Don't need feds all upon me
I done left that life alone
'Cause all I did was impress my homie!
And then my conscience told me
"Careful you tendaroni!"
Always complaining after I ain't never did
She always lonely
So what am I to do
Gotta get money for food
'Cause if she starves to death
Then I gotta deal with her attitude
And I ain't in that type of mood
'Cause I ain't type of dude
It's bad enough, I gotta deal with all this I'm going thru
It's making me feel like there is no other way
But to hit streets and get that dough, yeah
Got me hoping and praying for a better day, so
I'm facing trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob, cheat, steal or borrow
I'm facing trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob, cheat, steal or borrow
I'm facing trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob, cheat, steal or borrow
I'm facing trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob, cheat, steal or borrow
