On my back.

Intro

Uh

Yeah

Uh

Yeah

Verse 1

Empty cabinets and curdled milk

Thin coats never felt like silk

Rainwater leaking through the dusty ceiling plaster

Stressing on the rent faster

Hungry belly howling loud

No silver lining in this heavy cloud

I seen my mama crying at the kitchen table

Watching her reach for a cable

Living life on a sliding scale

Winning is a fairy tale

Pre-Chorus

Work all day

Work all night

Ain't no rest

Ain't no light

Chorus

Struggle on my back and I can't let go

Walking through the mud where the green won't grow

Money in the palm of a ghost I know

Hard to find a friend when the bank is low

Bank is low

Bank is low

Post-Chorus

Oh yeah

Pay up

Oh yeah

Stay up

Verse 2

Corner store selling yesterday's bread

Thoughts spinning circles inside of my head

Counting every nickel and every thin dime

Doing life without committing a crime

Same boots with the worn out soles

Tugging on the thread to fill the holes

System built to keep the small men down

Watching all the sharks come and circle around

Hard to keep the faith when the plate is bare

Breath smells of the cold city air

Pre-Chorus

Work all day

Work all night

Ain't no rest

Ain't no light

Chorus

Struggle on my back and I can't let go

Walking through the mud where the green won't grow

Money in the palm of a ghost I know

Hard to find a friend when the bank is low

Bank is low

Bank is low

Post-Chorus

Oh yeah

Pay up

Oh yeah

Stay up

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow is better

Maybe the rain starts to stop

Maybe I send out a letter

Instead of a watch at the shop

Chorus

Struggle on my back and I can't let go

Walking through the mud where the green won't grow

Money in the palm of a ghost I know

Hard to find a friend when the bank is low

Bank is low

Bank is low

Post-Chorus

Oh yeah

Pay up

Oh yeah

Stay up
