Late for work, coffee on my shirt time to report to the man.
Just a blue collar down to my last dollar  tryin to make what I can
swimmin' in debt but I aint drown yet breakin my back to survive Do you feel the same can you feel my pain just dyin' to stay alive
The struggle is real
you can put a price tag on the way I feel
and thats the deal, the struggle is real
It costs a lot to be me after taxes you see 
its a far cry from bein free
I let em take their cut I dont complain too much theyll put me under lock and key
If I could spare a dime I could buy some time loosen these chains holdin me
it stays on my mind they keep me confined but I gotta find a way to bust free 
The struggle is real
you can put a price tag on the way I feel
and thats the deal, the struggle is real
The struggle is real
you can put a price tag on the way I feel
and thats the deal, the struggle is real
