I can't catch a break
Everyday I try to escape
But I know I won't get away
And i'm not okay
I swear everyday it's always something man
When the hell I'ma get me a break
Like this is my life, I wish it was simple
Like sandwiches made with PB&J
If I could back in time I would change some things
But then again maybe I won't
Cause I wouldn't be here where I am today
I mean I got bills on top of bills on top of some other bills
And why schools never showed me
This is how being an adult feels
Looked at my bank account this morning
I got two dollars left in my name
But I know a dude that ain't got no shoes
So tell me how in the world can I complain
I remember growing up, I had dreams to be a millionaire
But ten years later with inflation
Turned that dream to a hundred mil
I don't show my life on the gram
Not enough time but I'll probably make a reel
365 days this year and I haven't even ate me a hunnate meals
But I'm more stressed over deadlines
Got a daughter and son and they got needs
And my daughters mother, everyday I worry
Cause she's currently dealing with diabetes
And my mothers approaching her old age
And I gotta make sure that she's healthy
I've been sitting here patiently waiting
Like Lord when you gonna help me
I can't catch a break
Everyday I try to escape
But I know I won't get away
And i'm not okay
I can't catch a break
God can you hear me when I pray
And I don't know how much i can take
But i'm loosing faith
I swear everyday it's always something man
When the hell I'ma get me a break
Like this is my life, I wish it was simple
Like them sandwiches made with PB&J
If I could back in time I would change some things
But then again maybe I won't
Cause I wouldn't be here where I am today
And they say time is your most valuable asset
While you're living
Cause you can't bring it down to your casket
What's sad to me is that every week I deal with a new tragedy
I be looking up to sky like Lord why! Is you mad at me
I lost my pops a couple months ago
My friend's dealing with stage four
How can I look her straight in the eyes
And tell her that the world's still yours
And two weeks ago my homie just got sentenced to life
And he got a daughter, a new born
And recently made his girlfriend his wife
But thats was my bruddah so it my job so make sure that they good
But look, that's more stress up on my shoulders
Who's gone make sure that I'm good
Questions a therapist can't answer
Maybe it'll change when I become wealthy
I've been sitting here patiently waiting like Lord
When you gonna help me
I can't catch a break
Everyday I try to escape
But I know I won't get away
And i'm not okay
I can't catch a break
God can you hear me when I pray
And I don't know how much i can take
But i'm loosing faith
