I feel like I go to work everyday But where I work I don't get paid Work in school learnin' the supposed rule But in the street I make my own rules Mama just wanted me to do my homework But when I get home Ma left a note Do the housework So when I'm done with the chores I go outside and learnsamore Out in the street I got friends just like me Pops is gone and mom's workin' 5 and 6 days a week Me and my partners tryin' things just to see what it means A drink here a smoke there what was dirty is now clean Mama tryin' but we got to survive So now I got to get a 9 to 5
