This One's For You
Deez Nuts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes it feels like the world is against you
Lookin' out your door is like starin' down the barrel
Problems piled up like the bills on your table
It feels like there aint no fuckin' way you can face 'em

We've all been there
But it's easy to forget when you're on top of the world
Think about the ones who ain't
It's the struggles in our lives that make us who we are
So grab your fuckin' glasses put 'em up!
Put 'em up!
This one's for you

When the grind's gettin' to you all my blue collar brothers
For our lost loved ones and the heart broken lovers
Broken home kids and the people doin' bids
We all face hard times shit there aint no one above it

Sometimes it feels like it aint ever gonna get better nothin' goes your way
Everyday you get more fed up
Don't see the light at the end of the tunnel right now
But trust me when I say you'll make it there somehow

We've all been there
But it's easy to forget when you're on top of the world
Think about the ones who ain't
It's the struggles in our lives that make us who we are
So grab your fuckin' glasses put 'em up!
Put 'em up!

The downtrodden
The disenfranchised
This one's for you here's to making it through hard times
The lonely the lost
You down on your luck
Yeah this one's for you here's to never giving up




So grab your fuckin' glasses put em up
Put em up!
