Default Overtime

If you think your life is hard/ working a nine to five
Add a few more hours to your day/ thats how i survive

I was always told pay what you have to/ and put the rest away
Because it might be sunny now/ but it could rain any day

And if it does you will be glad/ you have that money
Because you will still be able to/ put food in your tummy

So i work overtime/ every single day
In case it rains/ and so my kids can play

It's not much/ but we make it by
At least we cut back/ on how much we used to cry

Times were tough/ so we buckled down
Now we finally get to see/ the flip side of our usual frown

Dedication and hard work/ to my family and my job
Stopped praying and then waiting/ on an answer from God

Still im pretty tired/ of living on a budget
The worlds full of gold/ im just after my nugget

So i work hard everyday/ turned myself into a go getter
But i have my limits/ im not trying to be a record setter

So i set my sights high/ but it's something i can achieve
It was not that hard/ i just had to believe

So dont be worried/ if your having a hard time
Buckle down stay focused/ and work a little overtime

Word, I've been workin quite abit of overtime the last 5 weeks...2 hours every day. It definitely allows you to live a little better if you're willing to put in the extra time.
