Makin' Endz Shake Handz

Making Ends Shake Hands…

 [Verse 1]

I wake up tired when my alarm buzzes at 5:15

I wash-up, now I’m dressed, ready and clean.

The routine I have to handle just to make it all stable

I have bills to pay and I need food on my table.

I don’t really trip off the politics, these players and games,

I’m just trying to do more than get by and stay sane.

At the same time I’m living my life in a maze.

Tryin’ to walk the straight and narrow man, but crime sho pays.

[Chorus]

I work hard every day, with break at lunch

Rat wheel keeps rolling and I roll with the punch

Once I get it all together…

One day I’ll stand,  

But for right now 

I’m tryin’ to make my ends shake hands….

[Verse 2]

I see a lot of people doin’ dirt to pad their pockets.

While I sit back at home alone on sprockets and gadgets.

I'm looking forward to a better day coming my way someday soon.

I’m feeling the growing pains while I lie here in my room.

I look up out of my window and see the homeless dwell

And realize we’re not that far away from what you call hell.

In the city where I live and work, it’s all so bad.

But I know I could be doin’ worse…that makes me mad.

[Chorus]

I work hard every day, with a break at lunch

Rat wheel keeps rolling, and I roll with the punch

Once I get it all together…

One day I’ll stand,  

But for right now 

I’m tryin’ to make my ends shake hands….

[Verse 3]

I also understand the unemployment rate.

I’m liable to get cut if I show up late

I have to work until the sun switches shifts with the moon.

And I still have more work at home that I can do.

I try to do as much overtime (oooh) that I can get,
because I need to buy another pot into which I can piss.

Once I get it all together…

One day I’ll stand,  

But for right now, man,

I’m tryin’ to make my ends shake hands….

[Chorus]

I work hard every day, with a break at lunch

Rat wheel keeps rolling, and I roll with the punch

Once I get it all together…

One day I’ll stand,  

But for right now 

I’m tryin’ to make my ends shake hands….

I’m tryin’ to make my ends shake hands…

I’m tryin’ to make my ends shake hands…
