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.

[@WickedBrutality]

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

[@philipakeredolu7095]

[@pacitman2331]

Hell yea bro… keep on the hustle! That shit ain’t easy fersure

[@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]

[@mikhailbakunin3082]

He's awesome.we love snak from france

[@maxoforce2920]

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

[@TTownTim]

[@Zapps89]

10 or 12 years ago this song would have meant nothing to me. Now that I am finally starting to get my shit together, this song means so much. Thanks Snak.

[@__o.ggaming26]

Yup 💯

[@TrinityBrooklin]

[@frank-the-tank2234]

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

[@BIG-WhoShotYa]

Literally the greatest Snak songs imo along with Karma!

[@Trollforlife69]

We’re all there bro we don’t see how it is as kids life’s easy then we grow up and realize we took it for granted but just gotta thug it out and push forward

[@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.

[@vankallahan59]

Galvaxatron Lol @ kanye west

[@SuperFatyank]

Your right there are far more about irregular jobs

[@philphilly3279]

[@eXipes]

this is no song... its an ANTHEM for the working man, the dreamer, the damned, and the uninitiated. I remember when this song first came into my life

[@EhCSlater]

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

[@JusticeChrome]

EhCSlater so true man

[@greeffy1]

Dude its like that everywhere in the world, come to Australia and that description is so relevant over here.

[@Walden1995]

Life doesn't always work out how we plan.. I find myself constantly coming back to this song during the toughest obstacles. Cheers man. Let it rip been on repeat.

[@Colicchie]

Been listening to snak for what feels like like a decade or so..... This song hits so hard even today..... Thank you for the words, its encouraging to know that everyone feels this same way about working.... Fuck work... !

[@kristiyan6283]

Fck the system make us slaves!

[@RealSimplistic1]

Snak you work to hard bro, fucking killed it

[@CharlotteCaneCandy]

Living in Surrey your whole damn life just trying to get to a point where you feel like you're safe. Makes this whole vibe hit different. ♡ Thank you.

[@oma15]

awesome snak, I hope all your hard work and dedication take you far. proud you're canadian, man.

[@chanceatkinson4170]

I've lived it. Edmonton travel to Langley. langley to north van hours of driving. Busing to pitt meadows. Stucco and drywall. Makes a day real long. Keep your head up.

[@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.

[@UndergroundHorrorRap]

+Brad McLaughlin Just because you're okay with wage slavery doesn't mean everyone else is.

[@suspectraps3303]

+Brad McLaughlin fucking right feeling this post bruh

[@DesertEagel1995]

[@djevidence]

+Sturer 111 I live in Canada. that's how

[@UndergroundHorrorRap]

Sturer 111 No, I work for a living. I spent two years cleaning at a bar then moved to a factory job where I get paid $12.25 an hour. I can say that the system is shitty while still being a part of it.

[@CoR3y928]

My lil brobro zayzay! Never give up! Live the life u always wanted...

[@trippyalexconolly6514]

I always come back to this gem!!!! Thank you snak!!!!

[@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!

[@MrDearCandy]

Holy shit this song is too good. I just discovered him and i fucking like every song i listened to. Is this guy underground?

[@illstillkill]

Yeah dude, From Vancouver BC

[@MrDearCandy]

Connor Brady Wow, sad he is underground, while other shit rappers are famous for singing about bitches and cars...

[@illstillkill]

he's toured the states and spain along with a few canadian tours, hes not famous but hes not quite underground anymore

[@MrDearCandy]

***** 100% agree with you!

[@dopeshiet6385]

[@insaneone86]

Often times we in the construction trades work dark to dark...They always have some UNREALISTIC TURNOVER DATE!!! HAVE TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO GET IT DONE BY THEN!!! Then that date comes and goes and they STILL HAVE NOT TURNED IT OVER YET LIKE THEY WERE SAYING!!!! We go where the money is and do what it takes to get the job done. Snak...AS ALWAYS YOU KILLED IT!!! 💯💯💯✌️

Sick flow and all, but 8 hours a day isn't that bad unless you hate your job like shit. In fact, some people would be more than happy to grind for just 8 hours a day here in eastern-europe. Still, I get what you say, maybe it sounds different because I'm from a rather poor country.

[@RealSimplistic1]
