You do what you gotta do just to get your pot of stew
And once you got a modest pot you want a lot - its true
And once you got a lot you gotta stop and lock your view
And those who need it most get them on their feet and show them how to
Do what they gotta do just to get their pot of stew
Once they got a modest pot they want a lot - its true
But once they got a lot, they gotta lock the view
And those that need it get them on their feet and walk them through
At the end of the day if my rent isn't paid, then I'll be livin' in a tent
Or beggin' friends for a place to rest my head
So yes, my bread's on my brain
It's a lead ball and chain but I did it all the same 'cause
Everybody's got a struggle, man
You can either let it stress you out or say f*ck it
(F*ck it) Up and start hustling shit, stop making someone else rich
Hell, get selfish, don't split the wealth - if
I happen to get caught, time to sit down and analyze the risk
Revise the script now
There are days that I played it safe cuz even loyal people lie to my face
And tried destroyin' me right behind my back
So I keep the laywer fees aside
I cant get by with what royalties provide
So I steer clear of the rats and venomous snakes
Who get theirs at the end of the day...
Trying to get some property under me and stay properly funded
I'm talking about real wealth, not about monopoly money
Cuz paper ain't worth a damn thang, but acres of land brings
A place for my family to build and live forever
Gotta get the parmesan, gouda, swiss and cheddar
And keep it in the freezer so my kids can better their lives with it
And hopefully they use their brains and put themselves in the position
To improve and change the lives of others
Cuz at the end of the day what's driving the struggle for nothing making minimum wage
Cuz if I get paid, then I could give some away
That's why I hustle for tomorrow but I live for the day
You do what you gotta do just to get your pot of stew
And once you got a modest pot you want a lot - its true
And once you got a lot you gotta stop and lock your view
And those who need it most get them on their feet and show them how to
Do what they gotta do just to get their pot of stew
Once they got a modest pot they want a lot - its true
But once they got a lot, they gotta lock the view
And those that need it get them on their feet and walk them through
