Like a hard mama work just trying to get by (hey yea)
And enough ghetto youth so they still want no get no bly
Just keep on the hustle 'cause we have to stay pon the grind
Don't give up on yo dreams 'cause you know the sun will shine
The sun will shine

I'm tired in the morning, too late at night
See mama scraping for nickles and dimes
On the salary she's making we can barely survive
Tell me is these something greater in this life?

Wait, said mama
Patience, said mama
Breaking down is not an option
Make it happen my son

Like a hard mama work just trying to get by (hey yea)
And enough ghetto youth so they still want no get no bly
Just keep on the hustle 'cause we have to stay pon the grind
Don't give up on yo dreams 'cause you know the sun will shine
The sun will shine

How much more can my mama take?
Now I've got to step up to the plate
Can't afford to make mistakes
Ain't no time to waste

Wait, said mama
Patience, said mama
Breaking down is not an option
Make it happen somehow

Like a hard mama work just trying to get by (hey yea)
And enough ghetto youth so they still want no get no bly
Just keep on the hustle 'cause we have to stay pon the grind
Don't give up on yo dreams 'cause you know the sun will shine
The sun will shine

To all the system dem make it so hard
From California straight to New York
From Chicago going straight to her yard
People everywhere, dem haffi work and ah strife
Can't get a visa fi fly over the borderline
Everywhere I go them facing much harder times
They know the grass nuh greener pon di other side
But me still want see one we can't find

Like a hard mama work just trying to get by (hey yea)
And enough ghetto youth so they still want no get no bly
Just keep on the hustle 'cause we have to stay pon the grind
Don't give up on yo dreams 'cause you know the sun will shine
The sun will shine
