[Verse 1 Manuill] Im on the grind survivin, aint happy with my 9 to 5 and Thinkin to myself that my times arrivin But waitin suck, everyday Im wakin up All these bills got me down, I could barely make it up Livin check to check, I could barely take a cut All the money in this world, I could barely make a buck Its an anomaly, blame it on the economy But its fine with me, paper aint what definin me No shame, face it, theres too much pride in me Its so plain, Im a make it off whats inside of me Bein broke aint the life for me Though they say that the best things in life are free They are...yeah, love is priceless But who thinkin of love durin a budget crisis? Heats cut off, stove is lifeless Outside is bitter and is cold as ice is Inside a husbands all alone and wifeless Wasnt makin the bacon, some hoes is shiesters Whats left to us, what happened to death do us? Its been hard since God blew his breath through us Especially nowadays, we sufferin layoffs Most unemployed had enough of them days off Brushin off my shoulder, none of it stays off We doin all we can, its like none of it pays off [Hook Kinetics ManuiLL] So when it all falls down, I say let it recess feelin like Cinderella Man Cause Imma go insane, if I dont ever destress aint no way that I can fail the fam Breathe in, and I breathe out, and I take a deep breath Cinderella Man Sometimes I just close my eyes and I take a recess got me feelin like Cinderella Man [Verse 2 Kinetics] Yeah, and I feel like a Cinderella Man If things are gettin better, I didnt get the telegram It rains heavy so Im savin my pennies Movin faster than the actors of the movies they made in the Twenties James Braddock, came from the same status So Im boxin in the ring till the day that my name matters They told me to leave music alone, cause I was bound to fail This industry is like a steamship no sales So Im findin it ironic When the fans buy product, and moneys a byproduct Everyone who doubted, are you proud of me yet? I started 2010 40,000 in debt But I spent a couple nights alone, just so I could write a poem Paid off every student loan with a microphone I did it by myself, man Im in this fight alone Cause nothin that is given to you, do you rightly own Uh, dont even tell me you ball hard When you buyin out the bar with your parents credit card These spoiled rich kids with no concept of money They go to Ivy League schools, and they end up runnin the country Half of my friends at college, they got in through a connection And then we wonderin why this economys in recession So when I make it there, I aint ever comin back Even Bernie Madoff made off with the money sack [Hook]
