[Rittz]
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

They said the best things in life are free
If that was true then my life would be
great, but it ain't cause I'm broke as fuck
and I could barely afford to get a bite to eat
I bum a cig' and say that I'm so tired of ballin
Really I'm just gettin sick and tired of calling
my girlfriend up, like "I need some gas money
You got a 20 or somethin that I could borrow?"
Lyin to her like I'm gonna pay her back tomorrow
Cause she broke bartendin tryna work for tips
Puttin up with old men at a white trash bar
sayin, "Let me get another drink sugar tits"
But how can I provide shit? I'm a starvin artist
Prayin one day my big break'll come
Sometime life'll have you so distraught
that you forgot everything you should be grateful of
Like wakin up inside a home when you could be homeless
Talkin on the cell how you could be phoneless
Shit, I got some weed, I got some drink
I got a family that love me and a couple homies
that'll hold me down, I woke up this morning
with a different outlook, I hit the drink and ride
Down 85 South

[Chorus: Rittz]
Everything is G-R-A-V-YYYYYYYYY, yeah, yeah
In the front seat of my Cutlass sittin sideways (sideways)
Everything is G-R-A-V-YYYYYYYYY, yeah, yeah
So drunk that I'm glad that I made it to my driveway (driveway)
Yeah, yeah, everything is G-R-A-V-YYYYYYYYY

[Rittz]
No money to buy weed, I'm rollin pinners
In a ditch pissed speakin broken Spanish
Gettin off work late, everything closed
Totino pizza rolls, eatin frozen dinners
Like the bad luck streak just won't diminish
Cause the rent is due, and the bills are late
You could feel the weight, on your shoulder gettin heavy
and you ready to say fuck it, I could feel your pain
You pray to God "Please give me strength to overcome this"
Feelin lost up in the way without a compass
You start regrettin shit that you ain't get accomplished
Pompous, people wanna judge you and it's constant
I hit the liquor store and get me some more Thompson
Might be cheap but it gets me drunk
When I start to feel the pressure feel like givin up
It's like the alcohol buzz done just enough
to give me a reminder of the fact I'm blessed
You ain't a loser, time to get up off your ass and win
Got homies in the pen doin life
They ain't never gonna get to see the grass again
I can't imagine them, they probably envy me
So with that in mind I hit the drink and ride
And put some OutKast on

[Chorus]

[Rittz]
My famous team mentioned us on the monsters
Used to hear hate, now it's just applauses
Makin lump sum deposits
Man the stars aligned for me, it's finally us that's flossin
As we dump the ganja guts, flyin it's obvious
Bitches act like nothin to them as they watchin us
They lustin for me now my pockets done got robust
We done had the fussiest bitches on the bus
We drinkin Crown Royal, smokin an ounce of kush
Kick 'em off and disappear in a cloud of dust
Better lifestyle now I adjust
My dad just hit me up and said how proud he was
It feels good, in God we trust
I bow my head and pray so I don't ever try to take it for granted
I was just throwin up with Mike Knight
Hyped screamin 7-7, know I'm makin 'em chant it
Now I finally signed with a record label and damn it feels great
This is fifteen years in the makin
Burn one on the beat, put the pen to the sheet
Gotta let the world hear what I'm thinkin
As I'm sinkin in the seat of an old school Cutlass
I take another drinkin of the cup and ride
Strange Music on the chain

[Chorus]
