A Million Ways ft. Mic Recka Lyrics

There's little kids out here overdosin' on heroin

'Cause they ain't got no heroes or heroines

When shootin' up and tyin' off is their therapist

They're shootin' up entire blocks out in Maryland

When the American Dream isn't as fair as it seems

It's such a dreary routine, it's just a pyramid scheme

School shootings, not a year in between

Hearin' the screams before police appear on the scene

Children missin', no anonymous tips

It feels like we slipped into a bottomless pit

They don't wanna admit that these problems exist

And they still won't drink the water in Flint

A million ways to die, better choose one

They refuse ta let ya move up to a new rung

On the ladder of life. It's just a matter of time

Before they put your brain matter on ice

A million ways to live, a million ways to die

A million ways to give your all instead of wasting time

You can live a million ways, welfare and minimum wage

Gettin' rich off criminal ways, pop a pill to get rid of the pain

A million ways to die, a million ways to live

We're just tryin' to stay alive and raise our kids

You can die a million ways, any time and any place

This life is give and take. We survive with different stakes

I remember back in the day when I had to work that fast food

I was always super tired and I was always in a bad mood

But I did just what I had to. I did what any dad do

'Cause when you got kids you ready to do anything that you just have to

I was sick of grease and sticky cheese and a 50 piece

They were in the front tryna flip some meat, I was sittin' in the back tryna kick a beat

I don't really care if you hip to me 'cause I got legs, I'ma hit the street

If you wanna go get wit the beef

I'ma tell you right now you better back back gimme 50 feet

I promise it won't bother me if you don't wanna follow me

I keep my mind on money and everyday it keeps callin' me

And if you try to stand in my way, you must need a lobotomy

I'm sorry I'm not sorry, no apologies

I can remember when they said I'd never make it

When they said I'd never make it, when they said I'd never make it

I can remember back when everybody hated

Back when everybody hated, back when everybody hated

A million ways to live, a million ways to die

A million ways to give your all instead of wasting time

You can live a million ways, welfare and minimum wage

Gettin' rich off criminal ways, pop a pill to get rid of the pain

A million ways to die, a million ways to live

We're just tryin' to stay alive and raise our kids

You can die a million ways, any time and any place

This life is give and take. We survive with different stakes

Trying to make it out this place, yet it's rare that we thrive

Livin' paycheck to paycheck, we barely survive

Sometimes it feels like we're buried alive

Scared and deprived, that's why we carry the .9

They'll look you square in the eyes, tell you arrogant lies

But if you stare into mine, you'll see the care and the pride

They're aware of the crime. Ain't nowhere you can hide

Unless you turn a blind eye to despair and deny

We're just tryin to get a slice of the American pie

They don't wanna see the pain we inherit subside

All I see is hate, love's on an apparent decline

We'll always be afraid. Trust would be very unwise

I'm sure the pastor of the parish is fine

Takin' every last dime they can spare and can tithe

We're all just actors. So we wear a disguise

A million different factors why we perish and die

A million ways to live, a million ways to die

A million ways to give your all instead of wasting time

You can live a million ways, welfare and minimum wage

Gettin' rich off criminal ways, pop a pill to get rid of the pain

A million ways to die, a million ways to live

We're just tryin' to stay alive and raise our kids

You can die a million ways, any time and any place

This life is give and take. We survive with different stakes
