Trials & Tribulations Lyrics by Derrick Matthews

2021

[Chorus: Derrick Matthews]
Trials and tribulations conquered by who keeps they patience
Ain’t ever been keen to waiting we all have demons we’re facing
Don’t bring me down judge me not won’t make your soul weigh less
Don’t cry for the wicked play your cards close to your chest
[Verse 1: Derrick Matthews]
I
Woke up this morning with a
$3 in my pocket I did
Not know what the day was gonna bring me
But I guess I’m back up in the streets
Got no time for the bullshit please don’t bring that around me
Hear they been finding mo’ mutha fuckas in the dumpster
A couple of blocks right up the street
Grabbed my keys from off the tablе
Turned off the tv and cable
Took a shot of hot Whitе Label
My fiancé don’t think I’m stable
She ain’t ever been a liar I’m tired
If I’m late I’m probably fired
Hated this job since I was hired
Bills past due and food expired
Tried to make money off the show sold tickets and passed out fliers
But of course, nobody goes this town’s full of haters and biters
Maybe nobody knows soaked the game with gas I’m the lighter
Scraps from the gutter I been a fighter can’t die young but I’ll die retired
[Bridge: Derrick Matthews]
I gotta get it till I win dog
The Devil wanna tax my sins y’all
Keep me healthy God I’ll pay the vig
And I been drinking like my grandpappy did
28 now about to have my second kid
And I’d be damned if they had the life I fucking lived
My brother Mikey out he been down since we were kids
I made a promise to my people Imma make it big
[Chorus: Derrick Matthews]
Trials and tribulations conquered by who keeps they patience
Ain’t ever been keen to waiting we all have demons we’re facing
Don’t bring me down judge me not won’t make your soul weigh less
Don’t cry for the wicked play your cards close to your chest
[Verse 2: Derrick Matthews]
I
Keep tryna look out for my nephew
His daddy always been a punk
His mama been on some bullshit
Guess water might be better than blood
Airing out our dirty laundry
You can tell I don't give a fuck
My family don't know bout feeling
Cause when somebody dies the only time we hug
Boohoo so what, gon and cry me a river
Cause life is tough nigga
Even Bob Ross never could paint perfect pictures
Who out here really figures
They deserve anything else
Generational wealth outta hell
40 acres with a mule and a necklace with a bell
But don’t you forget the whistles
Cause that's how they always get ya
Pipe dreams in family pictures
Fake smiles from all who fucking with ya
As long as they get their piece of that American pie
But even that Chevy made it to the levy
But that levy was dry, that’s why
[Bridge: Derrick Matthews]
I gotta get it till I win dog
The Devil wanna tax my sins y’all
Keep me healthy God I’ll pay the vig
And I been drinking like my grandpappy did
28 now about to have my second kid
And I’d be damned if they had the life I fucking lived
My brother Mikey out he been down since we were kids
I made a promise to my people Imma make it big
[Chorus: Derrick Matthews]
Trials and tribulations conquered by who keeps they patience
Ain’t ever been keen to waiting we all have demons we’re facing
Don’t bring me down judge me not won’t make your soul weigh less
Don’t cry for the wicked play your cards close to your chest
