How many days we gonna live our life[00:00:00]

Struggling on the streets[00:00:03]

How many days we gotta live our life[00:00:06]

Searching for a way to eat[00:00:09]

You gotta stay down stay down just[00:00:11]

To see a brighter day[00:00:13]

Stay down stay down just to live a better way[00:00:14]

Stay down stay down just to live a brighter day[00:00:17]

Stay down stay down just to live a better way[00:00:20]

How many blacks gotta die by the hands of another[00:00:22]

Don't you understand that man's the same color[00:00:24]

So that man is your brother[00:00:27]

That's what happens when that man is from the gutter[00:00:28]

And that man is a hustler trying to survive,[00:00:30]

Moving grams of that butter[00:00:32]

See, his momma was a d**e fiend,[00:00:34]

Poppa was a rolling stone[00:00:36]

He never knew what family was[00:00:37]

He grew up in a broken home[00:00:38]

Ever since twelve years old he was known as grown[00:00:40]

Cause ever since twelve years old he was on his own[00:00:43]

And even though it seemed like school[00:00:45]

Was the best plan[00:00:47]

His only choice was distributing the rock like Def-jam[00:00:48]

While everybody else was getting diplomas[00:00:51]

He graduated from the middle[00:00:53]

Of the strip to the corner[00:00:55]

But I don't knock him cause he tryin to bubble[00:00:56]

There's no food on the table,[00:00:59]

The rents past due and that's why he hustles[00:01:00]

And I ain't sayin that its right to be dealin[00:01:02]

All I'm sayin is I feel him I guess[00:01:04]

I just see eye 2 eye wit his struggle you know[00:01:06]

How many days we gonna live our life[00:01:08]

Struggling on the streets[00:01:10]

How many days we gotta live our life[00:01:14]

Searching for a way to eat[00:01:16]

You gotta stay down stay down just[00:01:19]

To see a brighter day[00:01:21]

Stay down stay down just to live a better way[00:01:22]

Stay down stay down just to live a brighter day[00:01:25]

Stay down stay down just to live a better way[00:01:28]

Now baby girl's got a promising future[00:01:30]

But her moms passed away while[00:01:33]

She was younger and her father's a loser[00:01:34]

He'd always abused her but what else[00:01:36]

You expect from a coward[00:01:38]

He wasn't even proud[00:01:39]

When she got accepted to Howard[00:01:40]

And even though she loves college everyday[00:01:41]

It would stress her[00:01:44]

But it wasn't cause of exams or she hate her professor[00:01:44]

It was her financial situation here[00:01:47]

She couldn't pay a semester[00:01:49]

And the only means of making it better[00:01:51]

Was totally reversing the role[00:01:53]

Lap dancing working[00:01:54]

That pole even though deep down its hurting her soul[00:01:56]

And even if it meant taking off her clothes[00:01:59]

She was down for what ever to help her accomplish[00:02:01]

Her personal goals[00:02:03]

And I ain't trippin off a-how shortie livin[00:02:04]

She gotta pay her tuiton put food in the kitchen[00:02:07]

And that's why she strippin[00:02:09]

And I ain't sayin I agree with her job[00:02:10]

But sh*t times is hard[00:02:12]

I guess I just see eye to eye[00:02:13]

With her vision you know[00:02:15]

How many days we gonna live our life[00:02:16]

Struggling on the streets[00:02:18]

How many days we gotta live our life[00:02:21]

Searching for a way to eat[00:02:24]

You gotta stay down stay down just[00:02:27]

To see a brighter day[00:02:28]

Stay down stay down just to live a better way[00:02:30]

Stay down stay down just to live a brighter day[00:02:32]

Stay down stay down just to live a better way[00:02:35]

Now see the moral of the story is this[00:02:38]

If you ain't tryin to help stop our troubles[00:02:40]

Then don't knock our hustle[00:02:42]

Cause really at the end of the day its not ya'll struggle[00:02:44]

But you always got something to say[00:02:47]

Well hear this f**k you[00:02:48]

Yeah that's right I'm talking to[00:02:50]

You come try to sleep in our beds[00:02:51]

Eat off our plates, take a walk in our shoes[00:02:53]

Look at the world from our view try[00:02:55]

To live by our rules[00:02:57]

Drink the same water we do,[00:02:58]

Put your kids in our schools[00:02:59]

I guarantee you won't maintain your health[00:03:01]

You'll probably try to end it all[00:03:03]

And hang yourself or bang yourself[00:03:04]

You couldn't possibly understand all pain we felt[00:03:06]

And without folding your hands play[00:03:09]

The games we dealt[00:03:11]

I'm being real I ain't tryin to be evil[00:03:12]

Look how we live, look how ya'll live[00:03:14]

C'mon be serious how is we equal[00:03:16]

Matter fact I feel I'm wasting my time[00:03:17]

I'm finished writing this rhyme[00:03:20]

Ya'll never gonna see eye to eye[00:03:21]

With my people you know[00:03:22]

How many days we gonna live our life[00:03:24]

Struggling on the streets[00:03:26]

How many days we gotta live our life[00:03:29]

Searching for a way to eat[00:03:32]

You gotta stay down stay down just[00:03:34]

To see a brighter day[00:03:36]

Stay down stay down just to live a better way[00:03:37]

Stay down stay down just to live a brighter day[00:03:40]

Stay down stay down just to live a better way[00:03:43]

How many days we gonna live our life[00:03:46]

Struggling on the streets[00:03:49]

How many days we gotta live our life[00:03:51]

Searching for a way to eat[00:03:55]

You gotta stay down stay down just[00:03:57]

To see a brighter day[00:03:59]

Stay down stay down just to live a better way[00:04:00]

Stay down stay down just to live a brighter day[00:04:03]

Stay down stay down just to live a better way[00:04:06]
