Born In The Struggle Lyrics - Revenue Retrievin: Overtime Shift - E-40

(E-40) 

I had to hand-wash my clothes, didn't have a washing machine or a dryer 

Momma used to have to hang her period panties out on a clothes line wire 

'The vacuum broke' - 'Use the broom 

We got company coming over this afternoon 

You know our family like to gossip 

Clean up your room, throw everything in the closet' 

I like to talk to the old schoolers, O.G. playas 

cause they was my age - I ain't never been theirs 

I count on em for guidance, leadership and advice 

cause everything I'm goin' through they done been through twice 

or three or four times, five, six, seven, eight 

We can learn from they mistakes before it's too late 

Communication is everything, conversation's abandoned 

People die every day because of misunderstandings

The ins and outs, whys and won'ts 

History repeats itself, opportunities don't 

Sad true story, unintentionally, not on purpose 

Only time I see my family's at a funeral service 

Her stomach keep hurting, but she didn't bother 

cause you and I both know that black folk don't like to go to the doctor 

One thing about us, mane, we creators 

And at the end of the day we all related 

through the slaves and the Indians and natives 

They brought us here on a boat, whipped us and raped us 

Scraps from a pig they gave us 

So we grub pork chops, chitlins, ribs and bacon
