This is how we living
Car towed probably been repoed Smoking a spliff down the street
This is how we living
Get home wish I would've known that they cut my electricity
This is how we living
I've been working nine to five still i can't buy a bite to eat
This is how we living
I stay awaiting better days cuz that's all i can hope to achieve
This is how we living on the south side of street
Got no money, one pair of shoes for my feet
Sometimes i think it's funny living in poverty
Cuz they try to get me down but i'm as down as i can be
Walk through my hood it's usually understood that
You shouldn't be fronting cuz you'll get your wig pushed back
Why I got to watch out for the junkies and the hoodrats
I'm just tryna hit the corner store and get a blunt wrap
Times have come things have changed
Still i can't find a cure to my pain
I don't know who's to blame
But the mirrors saying you
So i keep pushing and pushing as hard as i can physically
Exert myself out of this mentality
Living in a jungle filled with death and disease
But you already know that
This is how we living

How i'm livings a product of my decisions
The blessing that i've been given and sins that i'm still committing
Been focussing on my vision and made a couple revisions
In pursuit of forgiveness in a constant act of contrition its
Funny how it all comes around
You ain't looking for a crown with your eyes on the ground
I'm sick of how we living if i got to break it down i'll say
That you're not really lost if you're not tryna be found
Yo
My days are packed and the obstacles start to stack
And everytime i get ahead i end of doubling back
Somebody cut me some slack, i smoked the last of my pack
I'm peacing out and how I'm living i might never be back
Sign an autograph while my card gets declined for gas
That light been on forever and I got to make it last
But ima
Count my blessing and get in where i be fitting
Never stray from the mission they say we got to be kidding this how we living
Living check to check
Money they expecting
I deposited myself and now they get it directly
It's a stretch to assume that I'm am living comfortably
Half of my city lives in poverty, alright
Just a representative of evil that we living in
Wage too low to feed the starving mouths of children
Mommas on welfare, daddy didn't give a fuck
Started not to fear the consequence of living in the cut
World gone rampant
What is just one man to do
Knowing i've been in the same predicament nothing to loose
We could help it
Really up to me and you
Said We could be the ones to choose
This is how we living

It is not our triumphs
Which mature and deepen our character
But how we react to adversity
Inspiringly, these very adversities
Lead often to the triumph of the spirit
In the face of the most appalling prevations
Even in fear for life itself
This is how we living
