Tug-O-War

We push they pull Give or take an inch Each side trying to get just a little bit more Everybody I know Out working, hustlin, strugglin Trying to make something from nothing We push they pull Give or take an inch Each side trying to get just a little bit more Everybody I know Out working, hustlin, strugglin Trying to make something from nothing We push (We push) Up at the crack of dawn Putting in a days work before morph alarms are goin on don't sense Sittin round doin nothin Gotta hit the ground runnin The streets like a stampede over oxygen Thieves we ain't havin none of that Got breathing underwater apparatus to kill the chatter By any means necessary get the mens their meat They dont be dead in the street Mama didn't raise no foo To be a face on the front page news (ain't that the truth?) Nothing more, nothing less Check the floor for the mess you'd be surprised at what they leave behind enemy lines We just read between em Papa got a brand new sign Go feed the demons And that's all for good reason Gotta keep that hunger for themselves Give em something more than hell Bustlin hustlin rushin by the hundreds We push they pull Give or take an inch Each side trying to get just a little bit more Everybody I know Out working, hustlin, strugglin Trying to make something from nothing We push they pull Give or take an inch Each side trying to get just a little bit more Everybody I know Out working, hustlin, strugglin Trying to make something from nothing We push (We push) Through the chronic streets everyday making noise All it takes is a voice Whos the loudest in the streets squekin We all getting the grease don't feel like we runnin the place More exits to escape I thank this job Probably the robbers gonna keep on with the masquerade We go ahead and play the game We know the steps it takes for that next plateau Gotta pick your spots and run with em cuz cash flow don't come in buzzin nothing when we right there (Right there) Front and centre stage Army general heading the brigade Mission is the nine to five Trying to squeeze a dollar out of 15 cents Should have never been Please that's like shots to the head don't even play Just duck and swing The shit is real And getting more real every second of the day Looking for a better way You know the deal We push they pull Give or take an inch Each side trying to get just a little bit more Everybody I know Out working, hustlin, strugglin Trying to make something from nothing We push they pull Give or take an inch Each side trying to get just a little bit more Everybody I know Out working, hustlin, strugglin Trying to make something from nothing We push (We push) back and forth but the struggles stay the same Like we on a crash course Like a riot going on inside, outside Seem more simple than plain Quiet before the storm made the damn thing change Everyone can feel it Like we on a global teeter-totter to feed reporters They need to sorta Trying to keep us caught up in a tangle web Leaning more toward the leading cause of death like alcohol and cigarettes We smoke we drink to take away the stress And that's just to keep from jumpin off a ledge We gotta take control of the pressures of the day to day make it make sense Just another fence hurdle in our way We got the knowledge, tools and weapons to get attention It all depends on how we use em We in the middle of a revolution We all makin moves, now it's time for the movement We push they pull Give or take an inch Each side trying to get just a little bit more Everybody I know Out working, hustlin, strugglin Trying to make something from nothing We push they pull Give or take an inch Each side trying to get just a little bit more Everybody I know Out working, hustlin, strugglin Trying to make something from nothing We push
