economy

[Intro] Yeah... Another day, another bill on the table, Tryna keep the family fed, do whatever I'm able. Prices going up, but the paycheck stay low, Everybody feeling pressure, everywhere that I go. [Hook] We just tryna make it, but the money runnin' thin, Bills keep stackin' while the rent creeps in. Gas tank empty, refrigerator bare, Working all week but there's nothing left there. It's a hard life, trying to survive, Counting every dollar just to keep it alive. Dreams getting buried underneath the debt, We keep pushing forward even when we're stretched. [Verse 1] Woke up early, alarm clock screaming, Another long shift, another day of dreaming. Boss says work harder, maybe you'll get ahead, But the cost of everything keeps climbing instead. Grocery cart smaller, receipt getting longer, Trying to stay strong but the pressure getting stronger. Kids need clothes, lights need paid, Every little emergency turns into another bill made. Credit card maxed, bank account low, Trying to figure out where the paycheck go. You sacrifice today just to make it through, Then tomorrow comes with another thing due. [Hook] We just tryna make it, but the money runnin' thin, Bills keep stackin' while the rent creeps in. Gas tank empty, refrigerator bare, Working all week but there's nothing left there. It's a hard life, trying to survive, Counting every dollar just to keep it alive. Dreams getting buried underneath the debt, We keep pushing forward even when we're stretched. [Verse 2] Somebody working two jobs just to stay afloat, Somebody sleeping on a couch just to keep hope. Somebody skipping meals so their children can eat, Somebody choosing between medicine and heat. Everybody got a story that you don't know, Everybody fighting battles behind closed doors. A paycheck shouldn't disappear in a day, But that's reality when the prices don't stay. Still we wake up, still we grind, Still searching for a better life. Even when the pressure got us losing sleep, We hold onto hope when the road gets steep. [Bridge] How much can a person take Before their heart begins to break? Still we rise, still we stand, Trying to build something with our own two hands. No matter how hard the struggle gets, We ain't giving up on ourselves yet. [Final Hook] We just tryna make it, but the money runnin' thin, Bills keep stackin' while the rent creeps in. Gas tank empty, refrigerator bare, Working all week but there's nothing left there. It's a hard life, trying to survive, Counting every dollar just to keep it alive. Dreams getting buried underneath the debt, But we keep pushing forward, trying to make it out, One day at a time, that's what struggle's about.
