Artist: Everlast Album: Songs of the Ungrateful Living Song: The Rain Typed by: OHHLA Webmaster DJ Flash [Chorus] Pain inside my heart, troubles stay on my mind Everything falls apart, it's happening all the time Living by Murphy's Law, trying to have it all Runnin from instant karma, every man's bound to fall [Everlast] Life is short, the grind is long Some of my very best friends are gone My hustle's strong, my money's all spent on buyin bitches titties and drugs and rent Work a double shift time, I can't save a dime My daughter needs Rent-a-Center, just can't afford 'Bout to grab a 9, lose my mind My insurance keeps sayin that they won't pay fo' it I'll stage a heist, I'll pay the price Don't be shocked when I turn to crime kid I'm goin big, I might split yo' wig Cause I ain't gettin knocked for no nickel and dime shit All that glitters ain't all it seems The American Dream is an American scheme What'chu lookin at? What'chu trippin on? Who you flippin on? See what I'm grippin on? [Chorus] [Everlast] I've been breakin my neck just to live correct Keep my head above water, livin check to check I get no respect, I got no regard Patience is a struggle when times is hard Paper's in a shortage, tryin to pay the mortgage I can't get to work they repossessed my car 'Bout to buy a pistol, and kidnap Bristol Tell me bitch can you see me from yo' backyard~? This new world session of the great depression I'm livin off pre-emptive unchecked aggression You cryin and you bitchin on every politician My family tradition, is heavy ammunition I've cocked the hammer, I'ma rock the vote Got your forehead on lock, dead in my scope Look me in the eye, what you lyin fo'? What you livin by? What you dyin fo'? [Chorus]
