Uh, it get rough sometimes, baby
Gotta make it over that hump, though
Boom to my
*, everybody feel that
Can't front on that note
Uh, it get strange and crazy sometimes
Uh, *, I'm going through it
Trying to deal with it
It's a must, I'm gon' get it
Cause my pockets is addicted to bitches
But frankly, it's like in the capels to poo
In this screwed up world
With a jailhouse full of niggas
Who's locked in a gang with nowhere to turn to
Not even a high school diploma
So what will I do?
Love by few
In the 85 minute
Dying on my luck
And nobody offering me a penny
Remember we sipping and blood on dozer
Fell off for a second
Now nobody know you gotta keep your composure
It's all work, no play
Putting in my groundwork
To see a better day
Struggling, we steady
Hustling to stay on feet
What else?
I'mma do
Baby, my family gotta eat
That's deep, but that's life
Raw and uncut
How'd it really go down?
This world is corrupt
It's rough
Can't keep up
Been laid down
Had to vote
Been raised up by them
Hard times
It get rough
Believe me, it ain't always loving
Situations get crucial
And man, it get ugly
It's rough
Can't keep up
Been laid down
Had to vote
Been raised up by them
Hard times
It get rough
Believe me, it ain't always loving
Situations get crucial
And man, it get ugly
Ups and downs
Smiles and frowns
You got people
People arrive
When you broke, they can't be fined
Out of sight, out of mind
Get myself together
Writing boys off like letters
Cause they change like the brother
Drastic measures
So take it when it come down to it
Attack and drama in the making
And run right through it
Pursue it
Quit fast
Raising up from the bottom
Cause no matter who you are
Everybody got problems
Don't let them get to ya
I know at points it's hectic
Just stay in focus
Conflict and put your game in perspective
Feel my message
Now take it for what it's worth
Coming straight from the heart
Hitting it where it hurts
It's rough
Can't keep up
Been laid down
Had to vote
Been raised up by them
Hard times
It get rough
Believe me, it ain't always loving
Situations get crucial
And man, it get ugly
It's rough
Can't keep up
Been laid down
Had to vote
Been raised up by them
Hard times
It get rough
Believe me, it ain't always loving
Situations get crucial
And man, it get ugly
Take the good with the bad
Bad with the bad
Good cause you win some
You lose some
Keep that understood
If I could, I would
Every day ain't for spurting
Hold on to what you got
Stack knots and keep working
It's certain
That things always get graded later
Breaking bread with my folks
Twerking my money maker
Bankers fall behind
And never cash back up
The real remain forever
Ashes to the dust
It's hard but it's fair
It can always be first
I keep G.O.D. first
Every day I walk the earth
From the dirt
We came to the dirt
We return when it's over
And done
And it's a quick return
It's rough
Can't get up and lay down
Had to vote
Been raised up by them
Hard times
It get rough
Believe me, it ain't always loving
Situations get crucial
And man, it get ugly
It's rough
Can't get up and lay down
Had to vote
Been raised up by them
Hard times
It get rough
Believe me, it ain't always loving
Situations get crucial
And man, it get ugly
Thank you.
You
