Another day out here in the trenches It's hard out here for an MC to pay these bills Shit I started from the ground up And no I won't compromise Most of us turn the other cheek and remain blind But I receive truth in a dark room with eyes wide Why hide when you can have it all over on my side No lie you got to stand up for what you believe in No reason you can't start the, And put an end to these blood-sucking heathens Cut the beef and make them vegan While I'm exorcising a demon out of deacon Seeking truth, blood leaking seeping on the page I'm off in the range, blazing the herb, burning the sage Cold days, old ways, wishing to abide by I wonder why I can't seem to get by, guy Sike, I come alive in the night Angel of life blessed me with the right to kill these fucking mics Yikes, Okie doks, for you old folks and kittens Better listen, pay attention, when the man's spitting The listeners want something to feel The pain and the music this shit is real Another cold day is how it feels When you write rhymes to pay these bills The listeners want something to feel The pain and the music this shit is real Another cold day is how it feels When you write rhymes to pay these bills See we want to keep it on a level y'all can relate So don't mix us those lames who do it all for queso Flows holding weight but I'm low on my pesos Cold day in hell till I'm done on the payroll Eyes sitting low when I'm looking at the ratios Say your team's packing weight but more like stacking playdough I ain't trying to lie like I'm speaking through a payphone Times running out the other lines all dial tone Going to show you all how delirious we really are How you suppose to rate the bar with some rhyme below par But I guess it doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense Whats cents without the dollars, left pondering the sequence Balance on the mainstream is giving me a brain freeze Raps the new pop, all hook no clarity Yes I'm another faction because y'all ain't hearing me Man I'm about to hit the bank and try my luck on lottery The listeners want something to feel The pain and the music this shit is real Another cold day is how it feels When you write rhymes to pay these bills The listeners want something to feel The pain and the music this shit is real Another cold day is how it feels When you write rhymes to pay these bills
