Zeke - Greater Lyrics

I'm from where seeing someone driving porsches is rare
Like finding a field of flying horses we just stare
Jaws drop got us in awe
Got a couple uncles who aint even got em a car
Instead they forced to ride a bike back n forth to their job
Run in the fam most of us aint even seen half of the mall
Poverty stricken, from the time we was given
A shot at life by God we gone probably miss it
Cause we don't know any different
Shit it's hard enough not dropping out of school
Making it to the top just seems impossible
But the hard knock life made me harder
Too many problems to worry about grades just made me smarter
Single momma trying to raise her son and two baby daughters
She was always busy working so we hardly ever saw her
Homing coming to the crib rummage through the fridge
For some food and shit cause he said he didn't have any in his

Broke man
Po' man
Is it meant to be this way
I dont know man
Broke man
Po' man
All I know is it won't be this way for long
Broke man
Po' man
Is it meant to be this way
I dont know man
Broke man
Po' man
All I know is it won't be this way for long

Never had a silver spoon just some rusty forks
At the max half a rack in the money drawer
But after bills there was nothing more
Than enough dust for us to strand together as a rope for tug of war
Whoever didn't cross the line got to take a hot shower
Learned to never trip about shit that's not ours
House to house yeah apartment to apartment
Whoever was here last left some stains on the carpet
Ten dollars to our name
Put five of it in the tank that should be just enough to get to target
But the whip was breaking down like old people cartlidge
So it was always a test to see how far the car went
Some days couldn't even get it started
One day Im gonna put an end to all these hardships
I promise It's all gone be a thing of the past
Like stains on a glasss wiped away with a rag
