Everyday…
Yah…
Oh Oh, Everyday…
This is the real right here…
Things ain't always what they seem…
Check it…

People look at us
And say man they got it made
They signed a record deal
And now them boys is paid
But they don't know what comes along with it
With all the fame and the fortune there's still bull…
Cause even though we struggled hard
And gave up everything just to make it this far
Some people love us, and
Other people hate us
But we gonna take the haters
Make them our motivators
Cause they don't
Know what we've been through
And none of them could ever
Walk a mile in our shoes
And I got to keep it real
Every record deal ain't a good record deal
But I'm a grown man so I didn't cry about it
Kept my head up, stayed strong
Until I got up out that contract
And I reminisce on what my lawyer use to say
But I wanted it so bad
I guess I had to learn the hard way
Everyday…
Yah…

[Chorus]
Everyday…
The pressures of this game got us goin insane…
If it ain't one damn thing it's another thing it's another thing
Everyday…
The pressures of this game got us goin insane…
If it ain't one damn thing it's another thingit's another thing

People want to know
What's goin on with one twelve
If they leave, if they leave
Are their records gonna sell
They say that he gave us the hits
Knowin damn well that we write our own sh…
It's not that I'm mad about it
But I gotta clear it up
for those wonderin about it
I think you need to read the credits
Open up the cd dog and read the credits
Cause things ain't always what they seem
So don't believe everything you see on t.v.
In the videos, I was in a Bentley
And that Bentley in it, belonged, to me
My earrings had to be at least 5 karrots
I had to live up to that superstar status
Stayed on the road
Had to stay doin shows
Even though I'm goin broke
I couldn't let nobody know

[Chorus]

People look at us and say
How does it feel
On a new label
With a multi million dollar deal?
I'm just glad we stayed together
We put our faith in the lord
And he made things better
Cause he said it in his word
That one day your gonna get
What ya'll deserve
Wow…
Now aren't ya glad we stayed together
Through the good and the bad times
We stayed together
Through the rich and the broke times
Through stormy weather
And…hey…
Now we look back like
Don't you remember
when you couldn't afford that boy
Hey…
Sunroof top
Chillin on the scene
With a down south female
Like hey…
How ya love that
24 inch rims
Big body Cadillac
And…hey…
We do it like that

[Chorus]

Oh, ninety six to two thousand three
112 still keepin together
True friends all around the world
Our music gonna last forever
From ninety six to two thousand three
112 still keepin together
All we need is true friends all around the world
Our music gonna last forever
From ninety six to two thousand three
112 still keepin together
All we need is true friends all around the world
Our music gonna last forever
From ninety six to two thousand three
112 still keepin together
All we need is true friends all around the world
Our music gonna last forever
From ninety six to two thousand three
112 still keepin together
All we need is true friends all around the world
Our music gonna last forever
From ninety six to two thousand three
112 still keepin together
All we need is true friends all around the world
Our music gonna last forever
