Here We Go

It's 6 in the morning

I hear in the hall

The feet of my father

Getting ready for work

I see in front of my face

The ceiling is low in this house

Then I hit the road

The bus in the winter is cold

And the streets are so run down

When selling your life is the only solution

Leaving at dawn and never being at home

To be raised in the hood is not for all

Another shitty shift, it's finally over for today

When the boss says "we need to talk"

The same game again, they kick you out

When selling your life is the only solution

Leaving at dawn and never being at home

Day after day as a working class hero

Because nothing changes here

But here we go and we know it's the truth

This hood's taught you to be tough

Self sacrifice, early lesson by force

Not an easy life to live

When selling your life is the only solution

Leaving at dawn and never being at home

Day after day as a working class hero

Proof of your value is to survive like this

But here we go
