Duane Jackson - Gotta Make A Way lyrics

V1: Man I know there’s gotta be a better way It’s a struggle for me to get this paper day to day See the hustlers blessed and I’m distressed Gotta find a way to get this pressure off my chest Living my life my destiny I’m working on my job with no college degree And you know I ain’t got a good salary It’s like I’m living in modern day slavery Pre-Hook: I’m getting older, the world is getting colder It’s too much, too much, too much weight upon my shoulders Life is harder than a concrete wall But you don’t understand that concept at all Hook: I don’t understand what I gotta do For me to get through to the next level I need to get this monkey off of my back Is it me is it you gotta pick up the slack I don’t understand what I gotta do For me to get through to the next level I need to get this monkey off of my back Is it me is it you damn I gotta get these stacks V2: Everyday its the same situation Rolling outta bed just so I can get this paper It’s hard when you know the bills are due And you sitting in the trenches Wondering if the boss is gonna fire you You know its hard trying to keep up with these kids When your next move could end up in a bid Doing what you gotta do your backs against the wall Busy robbing Peter just so I can pay Paul 2nd Pre-Hook: 12 hour shifts I’m working overnight On 5 hour sleep this situation ain’t right For me its all work ain’t got no time for no play I’m on the grind I hustle hard And that ain’t never gonna change Hook 2x Bridge: Ohhhh Ohhh, Ohhhh, Ohhh Ohhhh Ohhh, Ohhhh, Ohhh Whatcha know about that Know about that Somebody tell me Whatcha know about that Know about that Somebody tell me
