Hello
Hi daddy!
What are you doing?
Um will you come and pick me up righ' now?
Oh I can't pick you up right now
I'm busy I gotta go uh record a song right now
I'll pick you up after I get out of the studio OK?
Mm hm
I love you
I love you daddy
Aight I'm a go back to work right now OK?
Ok
I gotta go make that money for us
I love you
Be careful and behave alright.

We do what we gotta do to make it through these hard times
I'm drugling and hustling I'm always on the grind inside
Why can't I get away somebody take me away (to a better place)
Everything will be OK
Why can't I get away somebody take me away (to a better place)
Everything will be OK

I remember when I'm gonna sing this
Fix this barely got money to put food in the kitchen
After working hard trying make ends meets
Best believe to any life next week
Lyrics
But no one gonna hold me down
And this I swear to myself
Nobody gonna get the best of me
Cause I need nobody's help
And that for sure
I hold my own thing and do my own thing
I ain't gonna stop til I'll top and
Drop and resting in peace
I know I gotta stay strong
So I don't breck and my kids say
Daddy gotta make that bank
And if I die before I wake
I pry the lord my sole to take
Cause never will I give 'em
Never will I fell them because

We do what we gotta do to make it through these hard times
I'm drugling and hustling I'm always on the grind inside
Why can't I get away somebody take me away (to a better place)
Everything will be OK
Why can't I get away somebody take me away (to a better place)
Everything will be OK

No matter what I do I never seems to be enough
They try to hold me down
But I get back up
My mind stay tough
When the time get rough
So I gotta take a puff on this purple stuff
I can't sleep I still up in the late night
I'm thinking about my move for the day light
There no left so I get my pay right
One false move they send straight to the cage right
I still live the same up in the street gangs
I spend awhile everyday trying to maintain
I still try to get up on my feet
Still trying to fly away
Still trying to spread my wings
But no matter what I'm never gonna give up
I gotta stay up both water in my head up
Even thou time are rough and you fed up
We gotta do what it take to get up

We do what we gotta do to make it through these hard times
I'm drugling and hustling I'm always on the grind inside
Why can't I get away somebody take me away (to a better place)
Everything will be OK
Why can't I get away somebody take me away (to a better place)
Everything will be OK

Waking up in the morning everyday
With the same thought
Is the pain and the rain ever gonna stop
Will I make it through the day without getting shot
Or will the way of the world get me caught
Up in the mix down were I can't move
Do what I do if someone walks in my shoes
I give it up to cause work nine to five
Keep on doing what you doing to survive your life
But what would you do if your sons was at home
Crying on the floor cause
He left alway alone wishing he could fly away
Every single night cause his dad is in prison and
His mom on the pipe
Will that be enough to get you back on your feet
Or knowing that he ain't got food to eat
We do what we gotta do to make it throug these hard time
I always on the grind I gotta get mine

We do what we gotta do to make it through these hard times
I'm drugling and hustling I'm always on the grind inside
Why can't I get away somebody take me away (to a better place)
Everything will be OK
Why can't I get away somebody take me away (to a better place)
Everything will be OK
