It's all a [bad word] (tryin to make it day to day)
It's all a [bad word] (from my hood to around your way)
It's all a [bad word] (single parents all by theyself)
It's all a [bad word] (diseases decreasin your health)
It's all a [bad word] (fiends swearin that's they last puff)
It's all a [bad word] (hustler tryin to avoid handcuffs)
(No matter what you do, who you are or where you from)
(Rich poor black white, at the end of the day)

[Verse One: KRS-One]
It's all a [bad word] - and most people's [bad word] are doubled
You ain't the only one with a challenge facing some trouble
Look at the woman chewed up by the dog with no muzzle
Or the workers that got trapped underground in that tunnel
Some kids are playing in pools, others in puddles
When they listen to the news the propoganda is subtle
But it's time for you to know that the cryin got to go
Release the guilt that you built and let it flow
Slow and low, that is the tempo
Move slow and on the low, this you gotta know
You don't get the muscles without the hard [bad word] You ain't the only one out here tryin to get dough
From the hustler to the preacher to the government leaders
From the airline pilot to the chef to the teachers
We linked in the same huddle, in the same tussle'n'bustle
Cause at the end of the day, it's all a [bad word]

[Verse Two: KRS-One]
It's all a [bad word] - but don't let the challenges bug you
Or the government [bad word] you, or the thieves in the street
Beat and mug you - build your tunnel under [bad [bad word] up on the other side eye to eye with the trouble
Look at the Twin Towers [bad word] Look at the religious leadership stumble, everybody [bad word] But not [bad word] through nifty, it's fifty/fifty
The city itself will [bad word] you quickly
Whether you be healthy or sickly
Whether you be wealthy or thrifty, ugly or pretty
Everybody's tryin to get 50's and 100's
I taught this at UCLA just off Sunset [bad word] get [bad word] 
It's a book that I published for the healing of this nation
In just a few chapters [bad word] through, some possible solutions
Cause at the end of the day
