So you feelin like life aint treating ya right
Caught in the tunnel and ya havin a hard time seeing the light
Your lost and hope is no where near you
Your futures all foggy and you don’t have a clear view
Your screaming out but its like no one hears you
Your disappointed with yourself, and your career too
Your figuring out that life isn’t a cake walk
Theres no time for vacation or taking a day off
Your [bad word] jsut to make ends meet
You’ve got a map but it leads you to a dead end street
And minimum wage has got you on a limited [bad word] 
Your breakfast is the city air and dinner is [bad word] 
And you’re just been playing the hand you’ve been given
But its like your stuck in a blizzard with no blanket or mittens
Its like the heats not working cause the systems broken
And the cold winds got your toes and fingers frozen man

I’ve been through the same predicament
And just like you, I felt like giving in
This is a [bad word] world were living in
Its all about the fame and Benjamin’s 
I’ve been through the same [bad word] before
And I just cant take it anymore
I know it seems like its never gonna get any better
But its gotta, cause it cant forever

Yo, you getting older and approaching 30
And everything’s topsy tirvy and far from sturdy 
Some of your friends went to college and some enlisted
While your still chasing your dreams and taking a big risk
You’ve got a hook trying to catch the biggest fish
And everyone around you thinks its so ridiculous
You know youll never be the best in the field
But you still feel like theres a place for you
Cause you got some real skill
But every year that passes is another miss
Your name is repeatedly left off another list
Your [bad word] cause you hate it and your [bad word] [bad word] 
You just want to be mentioned even if its number 26
Writers and critics just wont give you the time of day
Clubs and djs don’t want to give you no kind of play
But you feel like you got the top of the line rhyme
Displaying if you keep working your certain that youll find a way

I’ve been through the same predicament
And just like you, I felt like giving in
This is a [bad word] world were living in
Its all about the fame and Benjamin’s 
I’ve been through the same [bad word] before
And I just cant take it anymore
I know it seems like its never gonna get any better
But its gotta, cause it cant forever

So your convinced that your baby mommas insane
And its painfully obvious that shes not gunna change
You swear to god that theres something wrong with her brain
Cause shes all about games, crazy power trips and calling you names
And its so easy just to wallow in shame and feel helpless
Its easier to think of yourself and be real selfish
But all you think about is how your daughter is feeling
So you brace yourself and take the blows her momma is dealing
And it hurts, it just keeps getting worse
Even her own family knows that she goes bozurk 
Shes nothing but a liar, such a big conniver 
The type of chick that gets [bad word] off at you
And goes and sets your house on fire
Dog, I know she works your nerves
She does a bunch of foul [bad word] you really don’t deserve
But you gotta stay strong and be there for your kid
Cause karmas gunna catch up to that chick 
For all that [bad word] that she did 

I’ve been through the same predicament
And just like you, I felt like giving in
This is a [bad word] world were living in
Its all about the fame and Benjamin’s 
I’ve been through the same [bad word] before
And I just cant take it anymore
I know it seems like its never gonna get any better
But its gotta, cause it cant forever
