[pre chorus: vic vega]
I've been working every single day to put my food on my plate struggle is the key because it'll lead to better days
Always gotta focus on the money that i make
I'm working every single day, every single day
I'm working every single day to put my food on my plate
Struggle is the key cuz it'll lead to better days
Always gotta focus on the money that i make
I'm working every single day, every single day
[chorus: vic vega]
I'm working every single day so i can help pay the bills
In the world of drama these streets are getting ill
So if i make it big i hope i get a record deal
And maybe one day i'll get that mansion on the hills
[verse 1: vic vega]
I'm shining like diamonds, gold medallions, chains are platinum rings i'm too busy here accomplishing my own dreams
I always want to give back here to the community
Want to help everyone but they just keep using me
So now this opportunity is mine so imma take it
My own people mad cause they don't want to see me make it
Always knew i gotta focus on myself
Financial freedom, even focus on my mental health
Cause every day i've been struggling on my own
Clocking out from work and rest my feet until i get home
Writer's block for six months still re-loading
Taking back the powers that i make cuz i ain't joking
Because i'm always working every single day
I gotta make a special ed i always learn from my mistakes
Auckland get the money cause i'm trying to get paid
All these struggles in my life and so i learn to maintain
[chorus: vic vega]
I'm working every single day so i can help pay the bills
In the world of drama these streets are getting ill
So if i make it bigger home and get a record deal
And maybe one day i'll get that mansion on the hills
I'm working every single day so i can help pay the bills
In the world of drama these streets are getting ill
So if i make it big i hope i get a record deal
And maybe one day i'll get that mansion on the hills
[verse 2: vic vega]
I'm just trying to let the world understand my vision
Following my crap and hope to go the right direction
Because it's all about following your dreams
All the good things and life is challenging trying to succeed
Working a 9 to 5 job is getting lame
I'm always trying to find a way to get the fortune and the fame people laugh at me and that is nonsense
But one day i hope to buy myself a luxury apartment
One day it'll all make sense
Working full time supported me to help pay the rent
Cause i just want to do something good with my life
Take a trip to miami and start living in paradise
I want to buy a yacht, a fancy car, a pet lion
If i don't make it big, then i'm going to die trying
When i rap, i say words, that's fundamental
So many people in this world don't realize my full potential
[sample of the 1992 l.a. rodney king riots]
That's not right. that's not right. it's not right what you're doing?
I came from the ghetto too, same as all of you did
Y'all need to listen. y'all got to stop it
You messed up my business and you call this black power, you mad at the white man, why destroy my business?
Why destroy my truck?
Why steal my computer?
I'm trying to make it
Could you understand that?
Can't y'all seen it
I've tried to make it
[pre chorus: vic vega]
People are tired of working their life away
Working their life away
Working their life away
You win some, you lose some
People struggle at life but we still live to fight another day
People are tired of working their life away
Working their life away
Working their life away
You win some, you lose some
People struggle in life but we still live to fight another day

[outro: vic vega/lennox's monologue]
Yeah, judgment day
It's been a long time working here. this was the longest time i ever worked at this job in my career as a room attendant. somehow, deep inside of me, my mental health was getting worse
