[Intro]
First of the month, running 'round, scrambling to get my bills paid
(Damn, this shit sour)
Lil' baby (Iyys)
Uh
[Chorus]
First of the month, running 'round, scrambling to get my bills paid (Paid)
Tied of working doubles, I'm exhausted, where the real plays? (Plays)
We low on groceries, ain't no food inside our rib cage (Cage)
Talk about the struggle, it was damaging but I still stayed (Stayed)
I don't get it (Nah)
Ain't no point of me spending (Point of me spending)
Don't get it wrong, I'm getting it (Getting it)
But it feels like I'm not doing enough (Enough)
No mo' pretending (No)
The favor shit, I'm ending (I'm ending)
I gotta do something different (Yeah) 'cause I'm on my own when shit get tuff (Tuff)
What don't break you, will make ya (Yeah)
Better not stop 'til it's over (Over)
Keep yo' mind on that paper (Yeah), but don't let it control ya
And I know I'ma soldier (Soldier), but it's feels like I'm not doing enough (Enough)
[Verse]
Sleeping in the driver seat wit' no heat, covers can't reach yo' feet (That's pain)
I'm just describing how it be, this shit ain't for the weak (No games)
Toilet clogged up, the water off, can't even brush yo' teeth (Aw man)
Sometimes l ain't even wanna wake up 'cause life was on repeat
Money on my mind all the time (Time), it's like we live just to grind (To grind)
My siblings stomach was growling, I wasn't worried 'bout mine ('Bout mine)
Family first, I put myself last, nigga, tell me I'm lyin' (I'm lyin')
Man of the house, we ain't have no step dad, it was me who provide
[Chorus]
First of the month, running 'round, scrambling to get my bills paid (Paid)
Tied of working doubles, I'm exhausted, where the real plays? (Plays)
We low on groceries, ain't no food inside our rib cage (Cage)
Talk about the struggle, it was damaging but I still stayed (Stayed)
I don't get it (Nah)
Ain't no point of me spending (Point of me spending)
Don't get it wrong, I'm getting it (Getting it)
But it feels like I'm not doing enough (Enough)
No mo' pretending (No)
The favor shit, I'm ending (I'm ending)
I gotta do something different (Yeah) 'cause I'm on my own when shit get tuff (Tuff)
What don't break you, will make ya (Yeah)
Better not stop 'til it's over (Over)
Keep yo' mind on that paper (Yeah), but don't let it control ya
And I know I'ma soldier (Soldier), but it's feels like I'm not doing enough (Enough)
