Doms Gauge Make Ends Meet (feat. Willy Ways)
[Hook : Doms Gauge]
How do I remain stress free
When I'm just trying to make ends meet
People tell me I should blaze less weed
Well I'm just trying to make ends meet
I don't think I'm getting paid next week
So I'm just trying to make ends meet
Yeah we tryna make ends meet
Keep rolling till the tank's empty
I hope you hear me loud and clear
We gone make it out of here
I hope you hear me loud and clear
Soon we gone make it out of here
[Verse 1 : Doms Gauge]
I've been feeling like the odds are against me
Hoping I don't ever have to rob to make ends meet
Don't wanna do wrong for the benji's
Settling, drug pedaling like Lance Armstrong on a ten speed
Tempting
Cause I've been so stressed that it's painful
But I won't lay here with my head on the table
I'm blessed and I'm thankful to be spitting this now
And standing on my 2 feet while some are 6 in the ground
Or some only have one while the other foot they're missing it
Maybe it's an arm or maybe multiple ligaments
Maybe they're disabled or they're born with a disfigurement
I'm saying everybody has a struggle that they're living with
Been looking for these dividends and ain't been seeing them
And I don't want to borrow money from family and friends
Tryna make these ends meet until I meet the end
And when I meet my maker you won't have to hear from me again
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Willy Ways]
I tried to wish upon a star once
All I got was bad luck and worse karma
Somebody tell me where a star struck
So I could make my way
And leave these haters in this stardust
I'm working my ass off
I'm ready to blast off
These people turned my heart into a black spot
Back before I went from stealing candy from a snack shop
All the way to stuffing yellow xannies in a stash spot
I was never afraid to admit a flaw
There's a lot of shit I shouldn't have said and I said it all
I'm just happy I ain't locked up or claiming what set I'm on
But give some gas to kid with a match and he'll set it off
I let it all out
Give me a reason for me to calm down
Fuck that, I saw the bigger picture in that small town
Still wondering if god is tryna test me
Or if the devil's tryna tempt me
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Doms Gauge]
I owe people money but can't pay debt
Because I'm broke and I'm hungry and I ain't ate yet
So can I get a rain check?
Nah, can it rain checks?
Until the kid gets a mill like Preston in Blank Check
But this world don't wanna give you a break
They just wanna spit in your face
Over little mistakes
So I refuse to work a 9 to 5 for minimum wage
I'd rather buy a shovel now and start digging my grave
Tryna go on tour to every venue and stage
So I put my pen to the page
And at the end of the day
I hope it all works
And if it turns out that you're the last person to the top
Does that mean you're gonna fall first?
I'm not sure
No, I'm not sure
