Some How

Lyrics

[Intro] [?] "Ma-make it-make it outta this grind 'fore I'm outta my mind" Yeah [Verse 1] I'm from a city where you grow up quick And there's certain people you just don't fuck with (true) You ride to the end with those you grow up with 'Cause the kids in the street, they on some grown up shit, uh It's every man for himself, I live by that (yeah) Even though I don't understand it that well It's all about how you carry yourself All I know is that you better keep them goddamn hands to yourself Shit, we all gonna die sooner or later So we all do what we gotta do just to make it You see it evеryday in the news and the papеr Disaster, crisis, people losin' their way But we gotta keep on keepin' on Even if we ain't sure whose shoulder it is we leanin' on Gotta keep ridin' 'til the wheels fall off 'Til the engine burn out and the paint's peelin' off, so [Chorus] I'ma make it outta here if it kills me Raise ya fist if ya feel me Said I'ma make it outta here if it kills me Raise ya fist if ya feel me, one more time, yeah Said I'ma make it outta here if it kills me Raise ya fist if ya feel me, yeah "Make it outta this grind" (Ay) "Make it outta this grind" (Ay) "Make it outta this grind 'fore I'm outta my mind" (Ay, yeah, yeah) [Verse 2] Yo, I can't keep livin' this way Fist full o' change, barely above the minimum wage Feelin' the pressure like I got a kid on the way But if I'ma die tomorrow, I'ma live for today And I won't give up the chase, kid, simple and plain I've seen harder times that are still with me today Driftin' away on a bed of flickerin' flames I gotta sort it all before I fall victim to fate It's chippin' away at every little bit of my faith I give and I take, but, shit, it ain't enough, I'm slippin' away Tilted a boat, skin peelin' away I watch by the window, I sit and I wait For a better day, (yeah) me ballin' out, centre stage No more time, clock in, fight for a steady wage I'ma rise up, get these records played Keep my head together, never let myself get led astray Gotta keep puttin' one foot in front o' the other Concentrate on my family and put nothin' above 'em Give 'em a call, let 'em know that I care I might be gone for now, but I ain't goin' nowhere, yeah Mind open, eyes closed for the prayer Lord, spare my family, I hope that you're there And if you're not and I'm just wastin' my time Then I'ma make the world take notice of what I say in my rhyme, c'mon [Chorus] I'ma make it outta here if it kills me Raise ya fist if ya feel me Said I'ma make it outta here if it kills me Raise ya fist if ya feel me, one more time, yeah Said I'ma make it outta here if it kills me Raise ya fist if ya feel me, yeah "Make it outta this grind" (Ay) "Make it outta this grind" (Ay) "Make it outta this grind 'fore I'm outta my mind" (Ay, yeah) [Outro] If the city had a voice, this is what it'd sound like
