Everyday Lyrics


Listen
I'ma tell you straight like this
Word up!
Listen
A yo, I walk down the block with my stomach in knots
Spent time hustlin', runnin' from cops
Broke as a joke, no ends at all
Can't play ball and my Timb's is small
Can't buy trees with government cheese
I'd rather be where it's breezy, niggas bubblin' ki's
My mom's got two jobs, one on her knees
And writin' letters to the governor, "Please call off the deeds"
My baby mother with another brother with cash
They drive by roll down the window and laugh
I solve all my problems with indo and hash
Bought my daughter a Nintendo, now she callin' him Dad
My landlord's a jerk, the water don't work
My little sister twelve when she bought her own skirt

Rather do Kirk than do her homework
Talk blunts and boys and she'll jump for joy
Shit's twisted, opportunity knocked but I missed it
Out in the park gettin' lifted
So now I'm sittin' here shit out of luck without a buck
And it don't make a difference
So do you hear me?
'Cause if you don't I'll come up close and say it clearly
I got to know, I got to go
I strive for my pay each and every way
But this type of shit, it happens everyday
It's like I'm trapped in a maze, walk around in a daze
I won't rest 'til I'm paid or I'm down in my grave
I wanna look tough but my sneakers is scuffed
Everyday pants in the week is enough
I had a little money but it came and it went
Now it's either pay the rent or stay in a tent
And it don't make sense how the shit is intense
And all you got up in your pocket is lint, you get the hint?
I had a cigarette for breakfast, just for beginners
Pride for my lunch and sleep for dinner
Tried to go to church, priest called me a sinner
He called me everythin' except for a winner
I'm walkin' in the rain wishin' things would change
It ain't a game, man, I pawned all the rings and chains
Emotionally scarred from losin' my job
Pass the nod nigga, times is hard
Now do you hear me?
'Cause if you don't I'll come up close and say it clearly
I got to know, I got to go
I strive for my pay each and every way
But this type of shit, it happens everyday
Now would you check me?
If I was you and you was me, would you respect me?
I got to know, I got to go
I strive for my pay each and every way
But this type of shit, it happens everyday
I ain't gonna front, all I want is a blunt
A pair of blue and yellow dunks and my hundreds in chunks
But people see me, put they purse to the front
I'm waking up early on the first of the month
Honeys don't respect when you call 'em collect
And it's 25 cent, you can call 'em direct
I put my life on the line and I ain't makin' a dime
Niggas call me, "Never mind, man, you're wastin' your time"
A yo, I'm livin' in the ghetto and I'm tryin' to survive
At the same time a nigga rollin' by in a five
Can't find a drive for a 9 to 5
It's like I only get by when I'm feelin' the high
And I ain't got no smoke, the elevator broke
I'm at the end of my rope tryin' to find a way to cope
I'm sippin' on Gin thinkin' how I could win
I don't know where it begins but this is where it could end
Now do you hear me?
'Cause if you don't I'll come up close and say it clearly
I got to know, I got to go
I strive for my pay each and every way
But this type of shit, it happens everyday
Now would you check me?
If I was you and you was me, would you respect me?
I got to know, I got to go
I strive for my pay each and every way
But this type of shit, it happens everyday
Everyday

G. Dep is an acronym for Ghetto Dependant (born Trevell Michael Coleman) (born on September 12, 1978 in Harlem, Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA) nicknamed 'The Deputy' joined Bad Boy Entertainment in 1999 after Black Rob recommended him to P. Diddy who listened to his demo and decided to put him on a couple of tracks on Black Rob’s album: ‘Life Story’. Impressed by G. Dep’s unique style P. Diddy immediately signed him to the Bad Boy label and he made a couple of appearances on Puff Daddy’s ‘Forever’ and Biggies ‘Born Again’. His debut album ‘Child of the Ghetto’ introduced G. Dep to the world in which he rapped about his street life in Harlem. The lead single ‘Special Delivery’ produced by Ez Elpee gave him the credibility he deserved. This was successfully remixed for a single off the album ‘We invented the remix’ which again made the charts.

Despite his successful dance floor single ‘Let’s Get It’ (where all three where credited as "Three the Hard Way") which introduced the Harlem Shake, he failed to make huge sales on the label and his album remains one of the most bootlegged albums to date. His contribution the family is shown on ‘The Saga Continues...’ rapping on some of the best tracks on the album including ‘Child of the Ghetto’ which shows his raw street ability and also his successful collaborations with the family. After a brief hiatus in which his future was uncertain G. Dep came back released a mixtape called 'The Deputy: The sheriff is back in town’. He didn't lose his touch and it led to Black Rob bringing him back to Bad Boy Entertainment and he is expected to take part in his group Alumuni.

G. Dep's life before Bad Boy, although not garnering as much notice outside of the NYC hip-hop community, is considered by many to be far superior from a quality of work perspective. His early mixtapes and bootlegs made him an underground hip-hop legend in the mid-to-late 90's. On Gang Starr's fourth album, Hard to Earn, an in-booklet shout-out is given to leading underground MC's, namely the Wu-Tang Clan and G. Dep. Again, Guru and DJ Premier showed their respect for Dep by featuring him on their next two major releases. In 1997 G. Dep appeared under the name G-Depp on DJ Premier's New York Reality Check 101, on track 5, Head Over Wheels. The next year, Dep found himself rapping alongside Guru and Shiggy-Sha on Gang Starr's unsurpased hip-hop masterpiece Moment of Truth; track 17, The Mall. Read more on Last.fm.
