Exhausted

I've been bending I've got back pains
Enough stress to fill 80 ashtrays 
My knuckles on x Rays 
Injured as  I'm fighting bad days 


Smiling ,grinding 
Money is necessary 
I want a Lexus party 
Meet play boy carti 
That's why I'm still farming 


Last time I was farming, 
A drought took my profit out
Before that a flood put my effort in the mud 
Even before that there's a thousand stories which denied  me glory 


I just continue ,I show up 
Responsible  for my glow up 
Despite nothing and no one paying 
I'm still working still praying
