Yeah, wassup

Time for the fallen soldiers

Can't have a war without casualties

Ya know? (Believe that)

For everybody goin' through the struggle

Ya know? Real *** errday, errday *** is real

(Erry hood, erry ghetto, erry block, erry trench)

I know how ya feel (Look!) I been out here grindin' so long

Still I had to find my way on my own

I can tell ya what it beez like

I can tell ya what it beez like

I'm a true hustler, all that I know

So I can make it anywhere that I go

I can tell ya what it beez like

I can tell ya what it beez like Straight from the hood, got a get money fetish

Pocket full of green, nigga, like a head of lettuce

Put the work in the bag, make a yayo sandwich (sandwich)

Then we go and spread it through the hood like mar-wich (damn)

One thing about it, we gon' get this bread

When you knew *** was real, when they found Red dead

Ridin' 'round the corner, where young niggas hustled at

Right by the stop sign, that's where they was bussin' at

When ya come here with nothin', gotta learn how to provide

Carlo had a bid 'fore he was old enough to drive

Losing 10, 20 erry night, gamble ain't nothing

Nigga got killed, taking up for his cousin

When you knew *** was real, drop outfit and the feds

Did eight years then the nigga shot him dead

Only Humbug left him slumped in his car

Errbody got a day, no matter who you are I been out here grindin' so long

Still I had to find my way on my own

I can tell ya what it beez like

I can tell ya what it beez like

I'm a true hustler, all that I know

So I can make it anywhere that I go

I can tell ya what it beez like

I can tell ya what it beez like Stone water, heat cold water

Knew I'd touch a bird when I got my first quarter

Sell water to a whale nigga

Cold nights, cold hearts, tough love is what it be like in jail, nigga

Momma cryin' in my visit cuz she care for me

Daughter just had a period, I ain't there for her

Know how to have a girl, you know just to hold you back

But the pussy so good, you keep goin' back

Heard when your main man turned rat

Make the whole La Familia turn hot like that (aw, man)

Any city, any block, any boulevard

I survived, no lie, I'm a ghetto boy

I can tell ya 'bout the do's and don'ts

Can make it anywhere I go, so lose I won't

I can tell ya bout the hard times, when ya really need it

Been grindin' so long, still had to call Jeezy I been out here grindin' so long

Still I had to find my way on my own

I can tell ya what it beez like

I can tell ya what it beez like

I'm a true hustler, all that I know

So I can make it anywhere that I go

I can tell ya what it beez like

I can tell ya what it beez like What?! Workin' from the bottom, tryna make it from the top

What the government don't give you, gotta get it from the block

Feel like a Bad Boy, cause this *** don't stop

Streets so dirty, need a muthafuckin' mop

Uh oh, the homie stay focus, handle yo business

Don't talk to them niggas around you might be a witness

Don't tell the dishwasher what you did with your dishes

Don't tell these snitchy niggas what ya did with yo riches

Niggas is hopin' they see Christmas

But if we just happen to throw

We hope ya miss raise all seven them kids that miss a meal

She worked her fingers right to the bone, then miss a bill

Nigga six for the nine, let's make a deal

See one thing about countin' this money, it make you feel

I used to get 'em right from the source, got 'em direct

The same nigga that had a connect, he didn't accept I been out here grindin' so long

Still I had to find my way on my own

I can tell ya what it beez like

I can tell ya what it beez like

I'm a true hustler, all that I know

So I can make it anywhere that I go

I can tell ya what it beez like

I can tell ya what it beez like
