Tug-O-War

Lyrics

We push They pull Give or take an inch Each side try to get Just a little bit more Everybody I know Out workin' Hustlin' Strugglin' Tryin' to make something from nothing We push – up at the crack of dawn Puttin' in a days work Before most alarms are goin' off No sense sittin' around doin nothin' Gotta hit the ground runnin' The streets like a stampede Over oxygen thieves We ain't havin none of that Got breathin' underwater apparatus To kill the chatter By any means necessary Get them ends to meet That don't mean dead in the street Momma didn't raise no fools To be a face on the front page news - Ain't that the truth Nothin' more nothin' less Check the floor for the mess You'd be surprised at what They leave behind enemy lines We just read between em Poppa got a brand new sign Don't feed the demons And that's all for good reason Gotta keep that hunger for ourselves Give'em somthin' more than hell Muscle through hustlin' Rushin' by the hundreds Chorus We push – Through the crowded streets Everyday makin' noise All it takes is a voice an Who the loudest eats Squeaky wheel get the grease Still feel like we runnin' in place More anxious to escape A thankless job While they rob and steal And keep on with the masquerade We go ahead and play the game We know the steps it takes For that next plateau Gotta pick your spots and run with ‘em Cause cashflow don't come in Floods or nothin' And we right there Front and center stage Army General headin' the brigade Mission is the 9 to 5 Tryin' to squeeze a dollar outta Fifteen cents shoulds never been please That like shots to the head Don't even blink Just duck and swing Shit is real and getting more real Every second of the day Lookin' for a better way You know the deal Chorus We push – back and forth But the struggle stay the same Like we on a crash course Like a riot goin' on inside Outside seem all simple and plain Quiet before the storm Ain't a damn thing change Everyone can feel it Like we on a global teeter totter To feed reporters They need disorder Try an keep us caught up In a tangled web Leanin' more toward A leadin' cause of death Like alcohol and cigarettes We smoke we drink To take away the stress And that's just to keep from Jumpin off the ledge You we gotta take control Of the pressure of the day to day And make it make sense Just another fence hurdle in our way We go the knowledge tools and weapons To get attention It all depends on how we use ‘em We in the middle of a revolution We all makin' moves Now it's time for the movement Chorus
