What That Means
Have you ever been tired
Where you just can't go on
Like your hands have been tied
And everything gone wrong
Have you ever just tried
But it was just too tough
And there were days when you cried
Cause you done had enough
And some folks trynna make it through the day
And some folks just trynna get by
And some folks strugglin' to find the way
And some laughin' just to keep from crying
And some folks slaving in a 9 to 5
And some folks hangin' on to a dream
And some of us are fighting just to stay alive
And some of y'all don't even know what that means
And there were days when my life
Felt prearranged
And it was like the hard times
Well they were here to stay
Try and read between the lines
Nothin' I could say
Like I couldn't see the signs
Nothin' ever gon' change
And some folks trynna make it through the day
And some folks just trynna get by
And some folks strugglin' to find the way
And some laughin' just to keep from crying
And some folks slaving in a 9 to 5
And some folks hangin' on to a dream
And some of us are fighting just to stay alive
And some of y'all don't even know what that means
If you ever get down
Well you ain't all alone
So keep your feet on the ground
For those long gone
And for the people still around
If you hearing this song
You should stand there proud
'Cause you done made it this long
And some folks trynna make it through the day
And some folks just trynna get by
And some folks strugglin' to find the way
And some laughin' just to keep from crying
And some folks slaving in a 9 to 5
And some of us hangin' on to a dream
And some of us are fighting' just to stay alive
And some of y'all don't even know what that means
Where you just can't go on
Like your hands have been tied
And everything gone wrong
Have you ever just tried
But it was just too tough
And there were days when you cried
Cause you done had enough
And some folks trynna make it through the day
And some folks just trynna get by
And some folks strugglin' to find the way
And some laughin' just to keep from crying
And some folks slaving in a 9 to 5
And some folks hangin' on to a dream
And some of us are fighting just to stay alive
And some of y'all don't even know what that means
And there were days when my life
Felt prearranged
And it was like the hard times
Well they were here to stay
Try and read between the lines
Nothin' I could say
Like I couldn't see the signs
Nothin' ever gon' change
And some folks trynna make it through the day
And some folks just trynna get by
And some folks strugglin' to find the way
And some laughin' just to keep from crying
And some folks slaving in a 9 to 5
And some folks hangin' on to a dream
And some of us are fighting just to stay alive
And some of y'all don't even know what that means
If you ever get down
Well you ain't all alone
So keep your feet on the ground
For those long gone
And for the people still around
If you hearing this song
You should stand there proud
'Cause you done made it this long
And some folks trynna make it through the day
And some folks just trynna get by
And some folks strugglin' to find the way
And some laughin' just to keep from crying
And some folks slaving in a 9 to 5
And some of us hangin' on to a dream
And some of us are fighting' just to stay alive
And some of y'all don't even know what that means
