Intro With Hook In Background Yeah, you know, sometimes life is harsh man, you know, its how you look at it Hook Im counting down the days, working over night Trying to find ways to better my life And I know that this road keeps turning And I dont know which way to go Verse 1 Yeah, Im tired of being broke, Ive said it once, Ill say it again Dont you hate when youre low on cash so low that you cannot pay your rent? Cuz I do, I hate that, you see me driving a Maybach? I dont think so cuz Im stuck driving this grey cab Hook x2 Im counting down the days, working over night Trying to find ways to better my life And I know that this road keeps turning And I dont know which way to go Verse 2 Man Im sick of this, the pain I feels ridiculous Envision this, little boy that never fit in, showed no interest Down with his face in a notebook, trying to write rhymes like Yo! Look! I think this is it I love her, pictures on his wall all over Of rappers he looks up to, he went from hi to fuck you His mood changed, became strange, rap made him nuts, so insane I think I should try this, he says to himself I really like this, maybe I can make this dream of mine if I focus my iris! But wait a minute, heres what they call an obstacle My voice sounds too much like uh yeah, they must have separated at the hospital Its a gift and a curse, thats what I call it, damnit, it hurts, now an alcoholic And every verse Im thinking what would have happened if I was put on first...

Thats what I call a winner, a champion at heart You fall you get back up and fight and show them who you are Come on Denace, get up! I know youre fucking fed up Come on dont you let up, its only a matter of time before things get better Maybe youre right so I hold it down When I hold this mic Im homeward bound I gotta show my best when I throw it down Theres no demon out here that can hold me down Ive seen cash Ive been poor, Ive been high and Ive been low The greatest things Ive seen go, so cherish what you have and keep it close Dont you cry itll be alright, wipe them tears look at the sky You see the stars? Thats what you are just look inside you You just gotta find it, its there behind that dark cloud youve built inside you Just clear it and show the world, dont hide it!
