SONG LYRICS:
VERSE 1
I got my Boots on crack of dawn, pack the bong, im out the door,
my day is long, still sore, from the fuckin day before,
eight to four, maybe more, do twice the work they pay me for,
bills due, crazy poor, never been this way before
Do my best day to day, pray the stress will fade away,
so unfair, no one cares, this is life or so they say,
It's hard to understand, i work my knuckles to the bone,
gotta get my rent paid or ill be stuck without a home,
So I'm out here in the cold rain, no pain no gain,
money on my mind, the only thought inside my whole brain,
No more being nice cause thats the guy that finish last,
tryin to get ahead fast, before I'm dead under the grass,
Check to check, how I live, drinking on an empty gut,
empty tank in my whip, empty bank but you know what?,
I just keep on goin, keep on pushing through the dirt,
feels like I don't got a life cause all I do is work.
VERSE 2
I got the music on, crack of dawn, stackin songs, I'm in my zone,
tryin to take it up a notch, watch me make it on my own,
it's in my blood, its in my bones, this is what I'm meant to do,
sharing my demented views, prayers to god, I sent a few,
A better man I'm tryin to be, ain't no labels signin me,
my family relying on me, I'm hoping one day finally,
I'll find my place, no time to waste, my grinding face is always on ,
I'm tryin to chase a dream and get a taste before I'm dead and gone,
Out here in the thick of it, to ease the stress im stricken with,
nobody makin money off my name no more, I'm sick of it,
every day, same routine, gotta play it for my team,
half man half machine, slayin fuckin everything,
On the road, away from home, excellin in my element,
sellin em hella knowledge, survival of the intelligent,
I just keep on goin, keep on pushing through the dirt,
better find something you like to do if all u do is work man.

[@CanadianBacon204]

people I know hate this guy for no fucking reason, but this is real hip hop, and he forever has my respect.

[@joeydigrado382]

its his voice maybe. my cousin didnt like him at all at first. but he realized how dope snak was shortly after that.

[@selfmade9546]

who dont like snak dont like life , energy, positive vibes amen

[@mikhailbakunin3082]

He's awesome.we love snak from france

[@maxoforce2920]

Thats because his voice is unique.. people cant standoutsiders doing it there way

This song made me quit my 8 hours a day regular job to pursue my dreams with art. Now im very close to graduating from school as a graphic designer, and i couldnt be more happier for grabbing life by the balls and making that decision few years ago

I saw him live and he did an acoustic version with a band it was epic. I could probably find the video. It was way better then the original

[@Th3AngryPooch]

I think this is the first rap song that talks about having a regular job and working hard at it

[@Galvaxatron]

+Th3AngryPooch There are probably a few hundred rap songs like this, you just haven't listened to them yet, or didn't recognize the topic for what it was.

[@PabloLopez36]

+Galvaxatron Give the example, please.

[@Galvaxatron]

Aesop Rock - 9 to 5 Anthem, Cam'Ron - I Hate my Job, Lupe Fiasco - The Show Goes On, Devin The Dude - What A Job, Eminem - Rock Bottom, Kanye West - Spaceship, Talib Kweli - Get By. etc Common and Talib Kweli basically made careers out of making songs about average people dealing with average people struggles.

When money flows like skys from beautifull rain hers umbrella cry and around hers body dance waterfall in wind and tears touch hers body like fans Superstars Life but in the Air burning tears scream last time while for forgivness tears ask her from evil smile cuz from skys angry tears after victim drive and when flying tears read book off fears it's dangerous to be alive anyway from skys sunrise run Blue tears with ride eyes anyway One more second is too much for tears before sunshines so on the ground only lucky rain arrive.

The part where he's staring at the poster in his grimy work clothes is so real. Canada comes across as this picture perfect place. It's not, many of us live shitty lives. When most people think "Canada" they don't think about the poverty, junkies, and shady/run down areas that are prevalent all over our country. :(

[@smryder]

Some parts are not as great as the rest of the world makes Canada out to be...but compared to many other parts of the world Canada is amazing. Blessed we are all to live here, where we don't have to worry about shootings and other horrible things. As for the "shitty lives"...life is what you make of it...you need a better life, go out and get it. Nobody should be handed anything...you work hard and good things will come, its all about your outlook on life too.

[@EhCSlater]

Simon Ryder I know Canada has it better than lots, but don't try to play it off like I can just quit my job, move to a nicer neighbourhood and live happy ever after. That's not how life works guy, so unfortunately for now, I'm stuck somewhere where I do have to worry about things like shootings and other horrible things.

[@360rad]

Yup i agree my dad lives in a rough area does shit just like snaks doin in this video. Hears gunshots and shit all the time. Hes like 53 and still livin paycheque to paycheque. Its tough out there sometimes

Wow... Been listening to your music Snak for three years now. I've been unemployed for the last 4 months living it day by day and doing my best to find work. Each day getting harder and harder to survive and live... Well I'm ecstatic to say that today I just got hired at a job making more money then I ever have before. Turn on my computer log into KZbin and find this... I'm way to excited for what the future hold for me now. Thanks Snak! I'm ordering your album with the first paycheck I cash in. Things are finally looking up! Keep it real brother and keep working hard, I know I will.

Respect for this guy. To the people who think 8 hours are nothing and bragging about "working 12 hours a day"; Go work as a construction worker 8 hours a day and lets see if you'll still think 8 hours is nothing. Most of you probably break or give up.

[@bloodygore4152]

Jordy Hertogs for real try waking up sore all over then have to do it again

[@xDannk]

Jordy Hertogs buddy some of us in construction work 12-16hr shifts 7 days a week, 8 hours a day is nothing.

[@xDannk]

[@simzzsimmy5319]

[@OlMoldy]

Jordy Hertogs wildland firefighting. I would do 12 hours on a good day.. We did 16, 18 and even 24 hours straight. 19 days on, away from your family. 2 days off. Repeat. Respect to the working class.

[@flowie6k172]

ahh, I come back to this several times a year and man the music video gives me goose bumps every times. to see you and Jaclyn in "Low income home" compared to where you are now, it really hits different. Must say your mindset really is a role model for most of us. I'm honestly so happy to see that you made it out alive from your dark times and that you chose to take the mic and use your mic to get your voice heard, not only for yourself but the people who listens to this and get goosebumps. You let them know that they're not alone. Everybody body started from the bottom but with will and the right mindset you can achieve most. Tank you for your contribution to our lives. I really wish I can come see you live one day if you ever tour close to me. all the best Scott. you're a very developed and beautiful human and i hope you the best in the future of your music career!

[@ashman2712]

This song got me through my 2 jobs. Like literally got me through it and helped me grind it. Over a year and 20 grand saved up saved me from my layoff that came with Covid. A year out of work cuz I had a shit resume in kitchens and warehouses. Thank for I had that money saved. Got me through a year of untaxable employment that was all spotty. Shit resume and couldn’t get a real job for the life of me. Made me realize how people say have a years rent saved. I did that and thank god. I got it now again. So all I can say is bring it world I got myself with my own hands.

[@djevidence]

Anyone hating on 8 hours a day probably has mommy and daddies credit card and don't know the first thing about struggling. We work because we have to. Because we are fucking men and get up at the Crack of dawn to make sure our loved ones and ourselves are fed, clothed and housed. Honest days work is nothing to hate on. Big up, this is my morning song on my way to work, and it hits me in ways that these people clearly will never understand.
