The struggle is real So real 5 am comes early, Jack and Folgers in his cup He wakes her up and lay her clothes out and packs her lunch Got to rush to catch the school bus Pony tails and tooth brush Sometimes it seems its too much he waves good bye Then he sighs 12 he days and barely gettin by Her momma workin 3rd shift and He hope she ain't back gettin high On a slippery slope slowly slippin to a pit Hanging on for dear life loosing grip but he refused to quit I see the look in your eyes and I know how you feel Work your fingers to the bone just to cover the bills You want to leave that single wide trailer in the holler for a house up on a hill You don't care how they feel Cause the struggle is real I know the struggle is real She's almost 40 and still dancin on that brass pole Customers are disrespectful, manager is an asshole Her greater goals over shadow all the sorrows 5 am will take forever few more minutes till tomorrow Not enough dollars in their garder for their house of dreams SongtexteRunning to the dressin room slams the door and starts to scream We're she wants to be in life is still a distant image At her wits end still isn't finished story has an ending I see the look in your eyes and I know how you feel Work your fingers to the bone just to cover the bills You want to leave that single wide trailer in the holler for a house up on a hill You don't care how they feel Cause the struggle is real I know the struggle is real He walks outside and throws his tools in to his pickup truck Looks up and smiles see her Altima is pulling up Her weight is lifted, her doors open and he knows she sober He grabs aholdst her she finds comfort underneath his shoulder As they embrace all of their worries are erased Because together they can face all of obstacles in place Pulls out of the holler to go make a honest dollar Pay dues won't loose smile through the blues of blue collar I see the look in your eyes and I know how you feel Work your fingers to the bone just to cover the bills You want to leave that single wide trailer in the holler for a house up on a hill You don't care how they feel Cause the struggle is real I know the struggle is real I see the look in your eyes and I know just how you feel Work your fingers to the bone just to cover the bills You want to leave that single wide trailer in the holler for a house up on a hill You don't care how they feel Cause the struggle is real I know the struggle is real Aus Songtexte Mania
