Days Like This

I thank god for them free lunches In the summertime Fridge was empty We got food stamps but was number 9 From place to place On section eight We moved like all the time If you heard that I was up Man they wasn’t lying Circumstances put the thug in me Less fortunate went to school They called me ugly I was the brightest out my class We ain’t have a lot of cash We ain’t have a lot of anything To brag about We use to run extension cords From our neighbors house We used to eat on crates We ain’t even have a couch Hard times they just kept getting harder middle of the winter Washing up in cold water Then I got older yeah yeah when I had my son I made A vowel I swore if I was down He would never feel it Teach him sky’s the limit Stack it fore he spend it They ain’t trynna give then you gotta Go go get it on your own Go go get it on your own Sometimes you gotta Go go get it on ya own Get it on your own Get it on your own Momma said that they’ll be days like this Days like this Momma said that they’ll be days like this Days like Man our phone was disconnected It was hard to reach us All my clothes came from the good will Had to barrow sneakers On a cot with metal spring That’s where I laid my head The ceiling leaked when it would rain Felt like I peed the bed Lawd Man I ain’t never seen my momma cry so hard She laid her head in my lap I watched her fall apart She was hurting I couldn’t do nothing bout it Heart broken they the memories Thatll up your child hood I aint going back to sleep on the floor Roaches on my face No hinges on the door Kerosene heater Is how we would dry the clothes Now when she walk in the mall She can buy the whole store I tell her Go go get it on your own Go go get it on your own Sometimes you gotta Go go get it on ya own Get it on your own Get it on your own Momma said that they’ll be days like this Days like this Momma said that they’ll be days like this Days like this
