[Chorus: T.I.]
Stayin' alive sometimes hard work, today
You got a problem, go to God first and pray
That won't He do it, it could always be worse
Every day a good day, when He above the dirt
Another day, another bill that I have to pay
The weed man said he was five minutes away
And that was yesterday
But it could always be worse
Every day a good day when He above the dirt
[Verse 1: RaRa]
I had young thot givin' me top, sittin' in a hotbox
I was 14 years old workin' the Duwop
All eyes on me, n***a, thought I was 2Pac
Fucked the wrong young n***a' girl, I need two Glocks
Tryna' ride drop-top Ville, for the summertime
Young n***a put in work, I had a hundred grand
Lot of n***as pack up leave, streetlights on
Where the fuck was I gon' go? I had no home
Asked my partner, "Can I come over? Sleep on the sofa?"
Had to get out grandma crib, I'm no pushover
Treat a n***a like I'm a Orphan
Fussin & arguin
So I need everything that I own, don't do no bargain
Jumped up out the porch, and fell in love with drugs
It was what it was, of course, I'm just a thug
Had to skip them Boy's and Girls find me a plug
I want big ol' diamonds, and minks, all the allures
[Chorus: T.I.]
Stayin' alive sometimes hard work, today
You got a problem, go to God first and pray
That won't He do it, it could always be worse
Every day a good day, when you above the dirt
Another day, another bill that I have to pay
The weed man said he was five minutes away
And that was yesterday
But it could always be worse
Every day a good day when you above the dirt
Remember that

[Verse 2: Trae tha Truth]
Day for day, dealin' with struggles, I'm nothing new to
Prayin' I could see somethin' better, only a few do
Dreams of pullin' up something foreign, I'm in a Who Do
Solo on the block sweatin' bullets, it's what I'm used to
Pride hit me, all in my feelings, lookin' at n***as win
"How the fuck the Truth gon' make it?"
I'm movin' 3 for 10's
Lookin' like I'm homeless and broke
I'm damn-near out of wind
Aggravated, caught me a robbery, headed to the pen
Feeling like my life hit bottom, it can't go no less
Lost my re-up runnin' from laws, like, "What the fuck next?"
Trappin full-time with work, but ain't got no checks
What the fuck do I got to show? Other than more stress
Older brother stuck in a cell, tellin' me give 'em hell
He ain't have the money for bail, I'm back to work the scale
Told me I should think about rappin'
I told him, "Time will tell"
For now lil bro was reppin' the block
So they would find the smell
[Chorus: T.I.]
Stayin' alive sometimes hard work, today
You got a problem, go to God first and pray
That won't He do it, it could always be worse
Every day a good day, when He above the dirt
Another day, another bill that I have to pay
The weed man said he was five minutes away
And that was yesterday
But it could always be worse
Every day a good day when you He the dirt
Remember that
