[Intro]
(Young A P O L L O with the wave)

[Verse 1]
My mother is a soldier who veteraned week after week in the trenches
My dad's a weapon against my panicked expression
Wonder if I'm like I'm question across my conscious
Pretty often I'm guessin'
Pray I ain't 'cause he ate off of my mother's depression
Hundred hour weeks without a second to rest
My life's a blessin' that's been given by a hard day's work
Another question, let me ask you what your hard day's worth
A child's smile? The dollars spent on dinner, let thе heartaches hurt
Just let mе ask you what your hard day's worth
Said let me ask you what your hard day's worth
Is it money? Is it pussy? Is it lust, greed and envy?
Is it every evil under the sun? Is it trending?
Would you listen if my mission wasn't driftin' a Benzie?
Would you listen?
Doubt it
Is it love? Is it hate? If a milli', you'll embrace
An escape from that pain stilled state we all create
Is it space? Is it pause, is the space you could pause
Rest you paws, not often leave your day
Is it faith? Is it God, be it Jesus or a lie?
Is it worth your stress and hard work throughout the day?
These just questions that I got
I'm just another product of the age of hip-hop
Where the money don't come, and the drugs don't stop
And the fathers don't talk, and the mothers all rocks
And the world keep spinnin' and we pray it don't stop
And I'm screamin' up to God for a little bit of love
Least a break from my moms, an escape from the rush
But the hundred hour weeks make her feet go numb
And the world keep spinnin' and the sleep don't come

[Chorus]
And my peeps go dumb, where the Perc? Where the Acts?
With an insecure old girl, we can hurt for some sex
With a weed with a rush
And escape from the numb that we all keep feelin'
When the days all dumb
When the rays of the sun don't shine on our skin
Where we can hide in our lies, take a dive in our sins

[Verse 2]
I say I'm fine with a grin, while I'm thinkin' 'bout my pops
How he died at thirteen when my mama not watched
Watch the clock on the wall
Sister noted that the time was 9:21 knowin' no love was cryin'
Give it time with the school, told my homies I was fine
But my insides burn, no one noticed I was dyin'

[Chorus]
And my peeps went dumb, where the Perc? Where the Acts?
With an insecure old girl, we can hurt for some sex
With a weed with a rush
And escape from the numb that we all keep feelin'
When the days all dumb
When the rays of the sun don't shine on our skin
Where we can hide in our lies, take a dive in our sins
I think the rays of the sun don't shine on my skin
So I'ma hide in my lies, take a dive in my sin
