Should I spend it quick? Before I have to scratch & claw to keep my head above water, and not be in the red, nuff said. I graduated college and got that degree Thought everything was rosy - Smellin’ so sweet But the work-a-day world is filled with obstacles How the hell can I do the impossible?

The V ain’t lyin’, times is tryin’ Tests the mettle of the truth inside men Sometimes your best effort ain’t good enough I love my life, but now and then it gets rough The V ain’t lyin’, times is tryin’ Tests the mettle of the truth inside men What brings out the worst in mankind? Is when the path to success is filled with landmines Yeah, yeah Times is tryin’ Just survivin’ 9 to 5in’ Doin my thing Yeah, I gotta do whatever it takes for the V to get by And that ain’t cool It’s gettin’ real old Man, just gotta keep goin’ So put faith in God and yourself The V
