Look this is my life, and it's a battle within
I gotta survive, even if I'm sinnin' to win
And if I show no remorse I reap the devil's reward
He said he'd, give me riches but I'm lookin' for more
When I was young, witnessed my dad, standin' for right
Black pride in him even though he passin' for white
Took years from my life, now I'm missin' the man
Moms on some other shit and now I'm missin the plan
And so I'm, stuck in this fuck-a-marole
All the lessons to a young teen baby was cold
Then my pimpin'-ass Uncle put me up on the game
It really ain't no love it's 'bout this, paper mayne
Put me in a position, got me out on a mission
Collectin' from the hoes turned on to my pimpin'
A nigga from Memphis dealin' with life as a struggle
This is the gift I was given so I just live by my hustle

[Chorus: x2]
(Keep hustlin') It ain't over for me, no it ain't over for me
(Keep, flowin') I'ma step my game up and get what's comin to me

Now I'm just gettin' by, and it's fuckin' with me
See others doin' big thangs they was nothin' to me
I'm seein' what I used to be, and it's lookin' legit
Got my hands on some music, started fuckin' with it
Put it down hard, then I started bumpin to this
I let some others get a dose and they was nothin' to this
Let me check my connections cause we go back in the day
Say they was lookin' for 'dro, heard I was hustlin' hay
Got me connin' my niggas, spittin' game to my hoes
This my opportunity I feel like anything goes
I was never 'sposed to see the new millennium mayne
And I refuse to let my dad die in vain
So I give it my all, you feel my struggle and pain
If you ain't feelin' what I'm spittin' trick you late to the game
But the closest ones to me know I'm holdin' it down
You gon' feel me one day, we gon' be heard in the town

[Chorus: x3]
