Your struggles, rapped like a victory lap

[Intro]
(Yeah) It's Dre, live from the parking lot
Gas light on, but the flow stay hot

[Verse 1]
Rent went up, so I moved my bed into the hall
Landlord keep on knocking, I just blend into the wall
Check engine light been glowing like a trophy on the shelf
Put a little tape on it, now it's keeping to itself
Ramen on a Monday, ramen on a Tuesday
Wednesday threw an egg in it, that's what I call a new day
Boss texting on a Sunday, left that message on read
Battery on red, so is the bank, I'm going back to bed

[Hook]
Dre still standing, Dre still fly
Pockets on empty but the chin stay high
Bills keep calling, let it ring
Broke but I'm walking like I'm wearing a ring

[Verse 2]
Night shift at the warehouse, I been scanning till the sun
Weekends I deliver dinner, smell it, never get a crumb
Car is making noises like it's rapping on the beat
Every pothole in the city got my name on the receipt
But look down at my sneakers, they are cleaner than my plate
Brush them every morning, yeah, the shoes are doing great
I ain't got a savings, but I got a lot of style
Rich in the attitude, the money take a while

[Hook]
Dre still standing, Dre still fly
Pockets on empty but the chin stay high
Bills keep calling, let it ring
Broke but I'm walking like I'm wearing a ring

[Outro]
That was the struggle, now you know the deal
Dre out, check engine light still on behind the wheel
