[Hook:]
If it ain't one thing, then it's another
You got me singing, ah yeah
Running for cover, you got me going, ah yeah
Don't me make suffer, you got me going, ah yeah
If it ain't one thing, then it's another
You got me going, ah yeah
Running for cover, you got me going, ah yeah
Don't me make suffer, you got me going, ah yeah
[Verse 1:]
You shake your body 'round, make a brother lose his mind
Off the books, count the hours, running overtime
Charlie hustle with a shuffle, yeah
Sold the grind to a greater cause, now sound the applause
Pin dropping silence steady when you when you entering
It's not a science we applying, we just meant to win
Don't be beleaguered, I am eager to earn a stripe
Toast a glass, approaching fast moments after midnight
You got that late night, go wherever it take right
Time and place for everything, tonight, we gonna make life
A little bit better than we ever dreamed of, Portland passing Pasadena
Partake in madness on a daily status, y'all never see us
[Hook]
[Verse 2:]
Talking-talking baby, what's it-what's it ever for?
They got the young folks trapped behind the trapped door
Whispering ambitions, roses through a cracked floor
Keep on going, keep on growing, who cares what they ask for?
A dollar and a dream, shorty bout to cash in
Turbulence on ascend, seatbelt fastened
They take a whole lot, give a little ration
Mama didn't raise no sucker, fucker, I'm a cash in
Little did you know before this song I was about to quit
But I'm back on-back on, light switch, morning, noon and night shift
Songs for life in the right pitch, turn your back and you might miss
All the action we can muster, busting up the pipes, shit
[Hook]
