PUT ON Lyrics

I put on for those I know they ass would die for me

I put on for those who gave they last dollar to me

I put on for those I know y'all niggas proud of me

I put on for y'all so go ahead won't you smile for me

I put on for single mothers who raise they sons

Without they fathers that hustle for every dollar

Overtime don't be no problem

Come home and cook those meals

Twelve hours on your shift

Two hours behind the stove

Fourteen hours of pleasing souls

For those who barely knows

The struggle of paying dues

While you putting your seed to sleep

The landlord just hit the fuse

The stress that plagues your mind

Got you drinking nightly

Numbing all your pain

Wishing you could fly away

But life done clipped your wings

For the long run

A long haul

Survival's all you been taught

No in and outs

Or whereabouts

Of extra funds that lay around

If it was you and yourself

You could've held it down

When life gives you a seed

You need to grow it now

You have mouths to feed

A family to lead traded

And all your fantasies

No lounging in them canopies

Praying Lord for sanity

Looking for a peace of mind

Stability in an unbalanced life

You living check to check

Check to check

Just to make ends meet

I know the feeling

Wake up in the morning

Fridge is empty

Scrape up nickel dimes and quarters

Just to hit the deli

Your mother on your back

And your baby daddy vex

But remaining on your grind

Hold your head up

Do your best

I put on for those

I know they ass would die for me

I put on for those

Who gave they last dollar to me

I put on for those

I know y'all niggas proud of me

I put on for y'all

So go ahead won't you smile for me

I put on for those

I know y'all niggas proud of me

I put on for those

Who gave they last dollar to me

I put on for those

I know y'all niggas proud of me

I put on for those

Who gave they last dollar to me

I put on for those

I know y'all niggas proud of me

I put on for those
