Everyday it gets harder

Just the cost of livin'pullin'me down

I try to stay above water

But these bills got me 'bout to drown

I can't keep livin' this life

Robbin' Peter but still con't pay Paul

I just been fightin'thisíight

But I don't know what's the point o1it all

I keep a positive mind

But it's hard to flow when your cash is low

I'm work in days and nights

Still I can't get up out of this hole

Because I gets paid on the lst

And played on the last

And strugale althrough the middle

Every month I gets paid on the lst

And played on the last

And struggle all thru the middle

(yeah yeah)

M-o-n-e-y never seems to multiply for me

Ain't nuthin'movin'"cause I keep losin

M-o-n-e-y never seems to multiply for me

Ain't nuthin'movin' cause I keep losin yeah

Them bankers know that they own us

Boy I swear it's modern slavery

They give each other a bonus

While our children live in poverty

I keep on teachin'my kids

You work hard you'll go far in this life

But the reality is

I'm slavin'on to the bone

To survive

I'd like to take you away girl

But I just can't see how that's gonna be

Don't like us living this way girl

Somebody rich said the best things are free

Because l gets paid on the lst

And played on the last

And struggle all through the middle

Every month I gets paid on the lst

And played on the last

Workin' hard, workin' hard y'all

Because I gets paid on the lst

And played on the last

And struggle all thru the middle

Every month I gets paid on the lst

And played on the last

And struggle all thru the middle

M-o-n-e-y never seems to multiplyfor me

Not for me, not for me

M-o-n-e-ynever seems to multiply for me

Ain't nuthin movin'l keep losin'

I keep a positive mind

But it's hard to flow when your cash is low

I work for days overtimne

Still I can't get up out of this hole

And played on the last

And struggle all through the middle

Every month I gets paid on the lst

And played on the last
