Every day is a struggle   How to hustle some doe   If you was raised in the hood   Well then you already know   It be days that be good   But mostly money be slow   Have you ever been hungry before?      Steady on the grind Stead on the grind   'Cause I got to make it happen   My family depending on me      Steady on the grind Steady on the grind   'Cause I got to make it happen   Ain't nobody gone do it for me      Ha ooh wa ooh ha ooh wa ooh   Ha ooh wa ooh ha ooh wa ooh      Steady on the grind   Daily on the grind   Money on my mind   So heavy on my mind So heavy on my mind      Mommy got a job makin' bout six-somethin' an hour   She became the breadwinner when daddy was unemployed   Working forty-plus hours and kissing ass   Seeming like the only honest way she can get some cash   She struggglin' - she don't know I be hustlin' pulling my own weight   I be hearing them fuss and fightin' at night mad late   Over economics; it's logic meaning they don't got it   Living in the projects, money's the only object   She makes $280 a week, standing on her feet   The ends aint even meeting - the family ain't eatin'   Cause if taxes is 10%, and the rest if for the rent   Then crime is what u get and niggaz is innocent   See it really ain't about if you eatin' or not eatin'   It's breathin' or not breathin' - freedom or not freedom   'nother day, 'nother way, 'nother dollar spent   Gotta make a revolution out of fifteen cent.
