Shit Happens Everyday Lyrics - G-dep

[G-Dep] 

Listen...I'ma tell you straight like this 

Word up! Listen... 

[Verse 1] 

Hey yo! I walk down the block 

Wit' my stomach in knots 

Spend time hustlin' runnin' from cops. 

Broke as a joke, no wins at all 

Can't play ball and my Timb's are small. 

Can't buy trees wit' government cheese 

I rather be where it's breeze, niggas bubblin keys. 

My moms got two jobs, one on her knees 

And writin' letters to the governor- 

Please call off the deeds! 

My baby mother wit' another brother wit' cash 

They drive by, roll down the window and laugh. 

I solve all my problems wit' indo and hash 

Bought my daughter a Nintendo 

Now she callin' it dad. 

My landlord's a jerk, the water don't work 

My little sister twelve 

And she bought her own skirt. 

Rather do Kurt than do her homework 

Talk blunts and boys and she'll jump fa' joy. 

Shit's twisted! Opportunity knocked 

But I missed it, out in the park gettin' lifted. 

So now I'm sittin' here shit outta luck 

Without a buck and it don't make a difference! 

So yo! If you hear me 

Cause if you don't I come up close 

And say it clearly. I got ta' know-I got ta' go! 

I strive fa' my pay each and every way 

But this type of shit, it happens everyday! 

[Verse 2] 

It's like I'm trapped in a maze 

Walk around in a daze. 

I won't rest til' I'm paid 

Almost down in my grave. 

I wanna' look tough but my sneakers is scuffed 

Everyday passing the week is enough. 

I had a little money but it came and it went 

Now it's either pay the rent or stay in a tent. 

And it don't make sense how the shit is intense 

And all ya' got up in ya' pocket is lint. 

You get the hint! 

I had a cigarette fa' breakfast, just a beginner 

Fries fa' my lunch and sleep fa' dinner. 

Try ta' go ta' church priest call me a sinner 

They call me everything except for a winner. 

I'm walkin' in the rain wishin' things would change 

It ain't a game and I pawned all the rings and chains. 

Emotionally scarred from losin' my job 

Pastor nod-nigga times is hard. 

Now do ya' hear me? 

Cause if ya' don't I come up and say it clearly. 

I got ta' know-I got ta' go! 

I strive fa' my pay each and every way 

But this type of shit, it happens everyday! 

Now would ya' check me? 

If I was you and you was me 

Would you respect me? 

I got ta' know-I got ta' go! 

I strive fa' my pay each and every way 

But this type of shit, it happens everyday! 

[Verse 3] 

Yo, yo! I ain't gonna' front! 

All I want is a blunt 

A pair of blue and yellow dunks 

And my hundreds in chunks. 

But people see me, put they purse to the front 

I'm wakin' up early in the first of the month. 

Honeys don't respect when you callin' collect 

And it's twenty-five cent, you can call em' direct. 

I put my life on the line, I ain't makin' a dime 

Niggas call me never mind. 

Man, you're wastin' ya' time! 

Hey yo! I'm livin' in the ghetto 

And I'm tryin' ta' survive. 

At the same time a nigga rollin' by in a five 

Can't find a job for a 9 ta' 5 

It's like the only gettin' by 

When ya' feelin' the high. 

And I ain't got no smoke, the elevator broke 

I'm at the end of my rope 

Tryin' ta' find a way ta' court. 

I'm sippin' on gin thinkin' how I could win 

I don't know where it begin 

But this is where it could end. 

Now yo! [Hook]
