You know look!

Life's crazy ain't it?

Can't save money 'cause of inflation

Hours years of work bosses raise my damn wages?

Days slaving trying to get these bills paid and

Never get ahead

It's like I only end up maintaining

To make matters worse

I got caught divorced

This bitch went berserk!

Baby momma tryna take my kid acting like a jerk

'Cause I'm not supporting her

Her lazy ass don't wanna work

So here we go again another day spent

There's a light bill gotta ticket tryna pay the rent

Gotta two left shoes 'cause no right shoes fit

More money more problems let's get it

But that's just the landscape

I've been working through the week but I can't fake

Nobody's words worth more than a handshake

It's a damn shame

But it won't change

'cause that's just the landscape

The collector telling me that it can't wait

Just gotta court order mandate

Living on the edge you damn straight

That's just the landscape

Battling at five

I'm just tryna survive

While the clock is winding down I'm deprived of finding time

I'll be forty in a week; same old job getting tired

I'm just sick of getting by thinking everything is fine I need more!

Now I think it's time we even up the score

When the game's done

Leave it on the board

Man I'm sick of pulling OT just so I can go eat

And how am I gonna dream tryna sleep? I can't afford!

I'll miss the boss man what will it cost me

To get a little rest? Man I'm feeling exhausted

Stop saying it'll work out this ain't CrossFit!

Whenever I clock in

My coworker tells me

That's just the landscape

I've been working through the week but I can't fake

Nobody's words worth more than a handshake

It's a damn shame

But it won't change

'cause that's just the landscape

The collector telling me that it can't wait

Just gotta court order mandate

Living on the edge you damn straight

That's just the landscape

We all tryna get ahead

Contract guys the carjackers

Local rappers tryna battle they non-factors

Everybody after a bag like poker tournaments wanna payout

So they can just ignore the journey but that payday may never come

It might hurt so don't forget to live life off of Sue when your life's work

Don't get stuck in politics infuriating yourself

'cause when you're gone to folks

Still got generational wealth

We got some problems it's true but we're divided in two and when we can't organize there's not a lot we can do

Our hard hats and our boots while they're deploying our troops and they're gonna never ever tell us the truth

But that's just the landscape

I've been working through the week but I can't fake

Nobody's words worth more than a handshake

It's a damn shame

But it won't change

'cause that's just the landscape

The collector telling me that it can't wait

Just gotta court order mandate

Living on the edge you damn straight

That's just the landscape
