(feat. Ask, Vincenzo & Marracash)



Just tryin' to make it through another day

Just tryin' to make it through another day

Just gotta make it through another day



[Chorus: Ask]

Runnin' the streets in the night

a twinkle in my father's eye

sixteen flights in the sky

it seemed like the beginning of time

we were so young, but longed to be so old

this life corrupted us

and God took Smokey from us

I see the sign of the times

I wonder if I could fast forward

but I just wanna rewind



[Grand Agent]

A yo rich man, poor man, read the headlines

we all going the same way at bed time

and all you got in the meantime is ya crib

and ya rib and ya kids or whatever you live for

never take it to the grave wishing you did more

what you wanna do a bid within a bid for?

yo this is life no parole already

might as well hold your nose to the grindstone baby



[Chorus]



[Vincenzo]

su fogli ruvidi crudi tratti di vita e loop fusi a matita con gli abusi

su beat e crisi sugli incisi vestiti intrisi di sangue

strada madre che piange figlio privo di vita sulle gambe

abusi e dosi ad occhi chiudi per mesi e snasi sui fogli

e quasi sembra ti prepari la tesi

io resto puro tanto che la gente in strada mi vuole tagliare

tanto che il cachet mi serve per la cauzione



[Marracash]

io mi limito a dirvi che ho niente the dirvi

e quando dico precipito intendo che non ho appigli

I ricchi e I loro figli coi visi tondi insorti

la folla che non ha appigli e gli sgombri

scopri che  una trappola solo all'impatto al suolo

 come se il cuore si spappola e il dolore  un luogo

dai palazzoni non si scappa non c' corazza

l'anima si schianta, sopravvivo sempre meno uomo



[Chorus]



[Ask]

You can work a 9 to 5

or you can stay on ya grind

pumpin' ya nickles and dimes

on the stroll and you know

the cops is on patrol

they posted up 'round the corner

I'm glad we ain't got nothing on us



Hey Grand Agent what you doin' fakin' jax in Italy

I thought you was supposed to be makin' stacks in NYC



I'm just trying to survive

[x4]
