LOSING DOLLAS

[Intro] (Cash register...) (Rain...) Another bill... Another month... Another chance... To make it... [Verse 1] Wake before... The sunrise... Coffee... On an empty tank... Dreams... Ride shotgun... While the rent... Sits in the back... Mama said... "Keep your head up..." Even when... The numbers... Don't... [Pre] Some days... I'm counting pennies... Some days... I'm counting blessings... Trying... Not to forget... The difference... [HOOK] I'M LOSING... DOLLAS... TRYING... NOT TO LOSE... MYSELF... EVERY HOUR... HAS A PRICE... BUT MY SOUL... AIN'T FOR SALE... I KEEP RUNNING... THROUGH THIS... CONCRETE JUNGLE... LOOKING... FOR A LIFE... THAT FEELS... LIKE MINE... [Verse 2 – Rap] Everybody chasing paper like it's oxygen, running so fast we forget where we've been. Overtime, overdue, overdrawn again, still got enough love left to call my friends. Some wear suits... Some steel toes... Same storm... Different roads... Every paycheck... Disappears... But somehow... Hope survives... Another year... [Bridge] Maybe... Rich... Is having... Someone... Waiting... When you... Come home... (Guitar solo) [Final Chorus] I'M LOSING... DOLLAS... BUT I'M FINDING... WHAT MATTERS... THEY CAN... TAKE MY TIME... NOT MY HEART... NOT MY FIRE... THEY CAN... RAISE THE PRICE... OF EVERYTHING... BUT THEY CAN'T... PUT A PRICE... ON WHY... I KEEP GOING... [Outro] (Rain fades...) Tomorrow... I'll wake up... And fight again... Not because... It's easy... Because... Someone I love... Needs me...
