Description
I look at the sky, today it’s gray, Wonder if tomorrow will be better than today.
Every day a new fight, a new gamble, We all want victory, but there are few chosen ones here.
I look at the sky, today it’s gray, The family’s knees won’t let me take a break here.
Gotta go out and get the money, Even when everything is cursed,
Because problems never sleep at night.
I look at the sky but my feet are buried in mud, Same dream stuck on rerun, same fights in the blood.
Bills waiting at the door, fam looking at me stressed, Teeth clenched tight, morale low but still no time to rest.
No daylight, no pause, gotta grind till it′s hard, If I stop now, who′s covering the scars?
Pockets wanna stretch but roads twist like a maze, We want clean money but the hunger never fades,
Seen brothers switch lanes for a couple of pounds, Others trade loyalty for perks handed around.
I move slow, eyes wide, bite words that could bite, Cause smiles in this world sometimes mask a bite.
I look at the sky, today it′s gray, Wonder if tomorrow will be better than today.
Every day a new fight, a new gamble, We all want victory but there are few chosen ones here.
Counting from one to hundreds, pockets still hollow, Ambitions slow burn, dreams hard to follow,
Empty trays at the table, little ones need their fill, So out the door with the fire, pushing past the chill,
Sometimes hands return empty, sometimes filled with hope, Every morning′s a climb, just learning how to cope,
Streets don′t cheer when you move right, only eyes on each slip, But I keep my head level, steady grip,
Focused on the path, future′s my own build, Cause no one′s gonna rise me up, Popeye Bill.
I look at the sky, today it′s gray, Wonder if tomorrow will be better than today.
Every day a new fight, a new gamble, We all want victory but there are few chosen ones here.
Bluff, remember all the moves down here, World′s wider than this block, don′t box your career,
Don′t trade dreams for a flicker of a love gone cold, Feelings fade but consequences stick bold,
See men lose grip, chasing someone′s ghost, Dropping plans, then waking up with regrets most,
Love′s a light, but it don′t fill the belly, Keep your mind sharp, vision steady and ready,
Though clouds block the sun, I still glance up knowing, Warmth waits just behind that rough cut,
Breath still breathing, feet still staying, Chasing these dreams until the last grain stays.
I look at the sky, today it′s gray, Wonder if tomorrow will be better than today.
Every day a new fight, a new challenge, We all want victory but there are few chosen ones here.
I look at the sky, today it′s gray, Wonder if tomorrow will be better than today.
Every day a new fight, a new challenge, We all want victory but there are few chosen ones here.
Gray sky above, but I′m still heading through, Every step′s a story, every grind′s proof,
Tomorrow′s just a word, but I′m betting on its truth, With the weight on my shoulders, I′m still moving youth to roots.
