Shelter

[Hook] I find shelter, in this way Undercover, hide away And can you hear when I say I have never felt this way [Verse 1] Rent due, as a matter of fact it's past due And she'll be crushed if she receive anymore bad news Sad Cinderella story, no glass shoe And no fairy tale ending, only cash rules That's enough to make you nuts, no cashews Mama barely even have enough to buy us fast food So we took the rich like, what we gotta lose? Mask like raccoons, 2 words, jack move Sorry ma, I really am, but really we got a sack to move And I don't see no way up out this gutter inside this classroom Sorry ma, I had to, really I was glad to How long you thought them unemployment checks was gonna last you Now I got 2 kids, already outgrown my dad shoes Cause he just ran away like fuck these rascals, that's rude Filled with all these burdens that we just add to Dirty is the pile of dirt our names have been dragged through Going back to my grass roots [Hook] [Verse 2] Back over on our side of town We got work but no break room, we out of time to lounge No job history, no checks stores, just all juices and pounds And then we ball until we catch a flagrant foul No I'm not bowing down, there ain't no fucking way, no how It's ether a coffin and the tux, or 40 acres and a house He who thinks of giving up, should tuck his nuts and wear a blouse Real man face the storm equiped with nothing but a smile I'm staring in my mirror, I'm so motherfucking proud I kept the pride of a lion, even when times got wild I go to hell and back and then go back just for my child, my children Do whatever to keep this food in our mouths And I would serve bullets to whoever interrupt our chow I'm just tryna lift us up like the people's eyebrow Wow, look at all the hatred I found And all I did was lend a hand to all my folks that stayed down [Hook]
