Wage $lave

lyrics

Who Jah bless, I know no man curse,
I hope my stress put to rest once im finished with this verse
Overworked & Underpaid, Overstressed & Underrated
Overlooked & Underground, Im frustrated
Sometimes I cant take it, Even knowing that Ill make it
Got my back against the wall, my head spinnin like im breakin
Full time grind, feel like im running out of time
Theres a million things I gotta do before the day I die
I just past 25, Im feeling like im 89
Ive had 90 9-5's since 1999
I still cant get a dime, your heinus with the rhyme
Aint had a smile on his face, since he was five on the slide
Fam by my side, still Im feeling lonely
Had way too many pass & too many was my homies
I cant get a break, even when Im all alone
I got ghosts from my pasts running laps in my dome
My mic is never cold, my stories never told
like my soul was never sold, Like my eyes I never closed
Divine could never fold, I play the cards Im dealt
Making a living off my writtens throwing shakas on the shelf
Shit! I was born for this, made for this, raised for this
My punchlines are like a pot of gold, people pay for this
Theres no doubt in my mind, I know in time
Ill make beautiful music, for you to rewind
Til that time come...Ill probably never be the same
Kickin holes in the bassbins cussin out the game
Frown on my face, setting fire to the stage
Screaming out can I kick it, sweat putting out the flames
