[Hook] You do what you gotta do just to get your pot of stew And once you got a modest pot you want a lot its true And once you got a lot you gotta stop and lock your view And those who need it most get them on their feet and show them how to Do what they gotta do just to get their pot of stew Once they got a modest pot they want a lot its true But once they got a lot, they gotta lock the view And those that need it get them on their feet and walk them through [Verse 1] At the end of the day if my rent isnt paid, then Ill be livin in a tent Or beggin friends for a place to rest my head So yes, my breads on my brain Its a lead ball and chain but I did it all the same cause Everybodys got a struggle, man You can either let it stress you out or say fuck it fuck it Get up and start hustling shit, stop making someone else rich Hell, get selfish, cant split the wealth if I happen to get caught, time to sit down and analyze the risk and Revise the script now There are days that I played it safe cause even loyal people lie right to my face And tried destroyin me right behind my back So I keep the lawyer fees aside I cant get by with what royalties provide So I steer clear of the rats and venomous snakes Who get theirs at the end of the day [Verse 2] Trying to get some property under me and stay properly funded See Im talking about real wealth, not about monopoly money Cause paper aint worth a damn thang, but acres of land brings A place for my family to build and live forever Gotta get the parmesan, gouda, swiss and cheddar And keep it in the freezer so my kids can better their lives with it And hopefully they use their brains and get themselves in the position To improve and change the lives of others Cause at the end of the day whats driving the struggle for nothing making minimum wage Cause if I get paid, then I could give some away Thats why I hustle for tomorrow but I live for the day [Hook] See You do what you gotta do just to get your pot of stew And once you got a modest pot you want a lot its true And once you got a lot you gotta stop and lock your view And those who need it most get them on their feet and show them how to Do what they gotta do just to get their pot of stew And Once they got a modest pot they want a lot its true But once they got a lot, they gotta lock the view And those that need it get them on their feet and walk them through
