[Verse1] Sun rays through the curtains, heatwave blazing Time to awaken—another day I’m facing A loud yawn, and a splash of water to the face I'm off to the rat race, no matter the head space Rent's due, no time to rest and let thoughts cool Bumped into a dude I knew from school, Said "Lu you lookin' clean, buy me some smokes" I’m like… that gotta be a joke. So I gotta look like a bum just to show I’m broke? Told him I don't look like my situation, take a hike I ain't being stingy dawg, I just can't spare a dime Gas ain’t been straight since they closed the straits Bus fare doubled, grocery bag lost weight With all that going on, my manager just complained Talking ‘bout I need to sound cheerful on my calls Man get off my—, customers yelling don’t help at all 33 years in the sun and I ain’t stacked a fund I gotta get what's mine man, even if it's by the gun [Hook] Rents due again homie, gotta make a way The bills are in the mail, they got your name Get it how you live… even the ski mask way [Verse 2] Day in day out, I stay on the chase for the pay out Stuck in a hamster wheel—ain’t no way out Everyone be thinking it's all roses and life's sweet But it's an everyday struggle to make ends meet Tired of puttin' on a face and showin' niggas grace If you owe me—pay up, don’t make me hurt your face Niggas talking about "I'll get you back next week", Man come on, that's what you said last week All this damn run around gon' let my hands speak On top of that, landlord got the notice on my door Situation tight dawg, ain't playin' games no more They gon’ hear this verse like “he rapping like rent due” If only they knew how much of that is true... Walking a thin line—a nice guy and a villain May just break the law than to write another email 33 years in the sun and I ain’t stacked a fund I gotta get what's mine man, even if it's by the gun [Hook] Rents due again homie, gotta make a way The fam gotta eat and they lookin your way Get it how you live… even the ski mask way [DJ scratches] Rent due again Rent due again Even the ski mask way!
