NOTORIOUS B. I.G. LYRICS - Everyday Struggle

"Everyday Struggle"



I don't wanna live no mo'

Sometimes I hear death knocking at my front do'

I'm living everyday like a hustle

Another drug to juggle, another day another struggle



I know how it feels to wake up fucked up

Pockets broke as hell, another rock to sell

People look at you like you're the user

Selling drugs to all the losers mad Buddha abuser

But they don't know about the stress-filled day

Baby on the way mad bills to pay

That's why you drink Tanqueray

So you can reminisce and wish

You wasn't living so devilish s-shit

I remember I was just like you

Smoking blunts with my crew

Flipping oldies 62's

'Cause G-E-D was it B-I-G, I got P-A-I-D

That's why my mom hates me

She was forced to kick me out, no doubt

Then I figured out Nick's went for twenty down south

Packed up my tools for my raw power move

Glock nineteen for casket and flower moves

Four drunks trying to stop my flow

And what they don't know will show on the autopsy

Went to see papi, to cop me a brick

Asked for some consignment and he wasn't trying to hear it

Smoking mad Newports 'cause I'm doing court for an assault

That I caught in Bridge Port, New York

Catch me if you can like the ginger bread man

You better have your gat in hand

'Cause man



I don't wanna live no mo'

Sometimes I hear death knocking in my front do'

I'm living everyday like a hustle

Another drug to juggle, another day another struggle



I had the master plan

I'm in the caravan on my way to Maryland

With my man Tutex to take over this projects

They call him Tutex, he tote two techs

And when he starts to bust

He likes to ask who's next?

I got my honies on the Amtrack

With the crack in the crack of her ass

Two pounds of hash in the stash

I wait for hun to make some quick cash

I told her she could be lieutenant bitch got gassed

At last I'm literally lounging Black,

Seating back counting double digit thousands stacks

Had to re-up see what's up with my peeps

Toyota dealer cars had it cheap on the jeeps

See who got smoked, what rumors was spread

Last I heard I was dead with six to the head

Then I got the phone call

It couldn't hit me harder

We got infiltrated

Like Nino at the Carter

I heard Tec got murdered in a town I've never heard of

By some bitch named Alberta over nickel-plated burners

And my bitch swear to God she won't snitch

I told her where she hit the bricks I'll make the hooker rich

Conspiracy should be home in three

Until them I look south for the home family

A true G, that's me blowing like a bubble

In the everyday struggle



I don't wanna live no mo'

Sometimes I hear death knocking in my front do'

I'm living everyday like a hustle

Another drug to juggle, another day another struggle



I'm seeing body after body and our mayor Giuliani

Ain't trying to see no black man turn into John Gotti

My daughter use a potty so she's older now

Educated street knowledge I'm gonna mold 'er now

Trick 'er little dope buying young girls tringes

Dealing with the dope fiend binges

Seeing syringes in the veins

Hard to explain how I maintain

The crack smoke makes my brain feel so strange

Breaking days on the set no sweat from cold moet

Can't bag yet because's still wet

But when I dry back in five at a time

I can clock about nine on the check cashing line

I had to burst on the third

Rehearse that's my word

Thinking the game Ds knew my first name

Should I quit? Shit no!

Even though they had me scared

Yo they gotta eight I gotta teck with air holes



That's just how the shit goes in the struggle mother fucker



I don't wanna live no mo'

Sometimes I hear death knocking in my front do'

I'm living everyday like a hustle

Another drug to juggle, another day another struggle
