[E-40:]<br>
I grit my teeth to keep release, kkep my fatih and hope (hope)<br>
Need to stop stressing before I have a stroke<br>
Up in lower development housin' (housin'), talk and turmoil (turmoil)<br>
Food in our refrigerator never had a chance to spoil<br>
You know why? (Why?) Wasn't rich wasn't poor (wasn't poor)<br>
You know why? (Do you know why?) cause it's the boss player from next door<br>
(from next door)<br>
Sleepin' on the floor, hectic, (hectic), but that's expected<br>
<br>
[B-Legit:]<br>
When I was young, I never could afford no Nikes, and everybody else had<br>
brand new bikes<br>
I use to hike to school, in the rain with fools, 13 deep in the ghetto<br>
streets (in the ghetto streets)<br>
<br>
[Hook:]<br>
[LeVitti:] I've struggled and I've strived<br>
<br>
[Suga T:] Struggled and I've strived<br>
<br>
[LeVitti:] Been a hustler all my life <br>
<br>
[Suga T:] Been a hustler all my life<br>
<br>
[Both:] I ain't rich and I ain't poor, did more dirt than you would know<br>
<br>
[LeVitti:] I've struggled and I've strived, strived<br>
<br>
[D-Shot:]<br>
In 1984 was the year for the Shot to step through the door (through the<br>
door)<br>
That's when my daddy walked away from my mama (mama)<br>
She tried to work it out but it wasn't no stoppin' (stoppin')<br>
Barely paying the rent, she had four mouths to feed, hot water and corn<br>
bread (corn bread)<br>
Watching the stress while my momma straight handlin' things (handlin'<br>
things) ?<br>
<br>
[Suga-T:]<br>
Coming up wasn't easy for the no should I be (c'mon)<br>
Living dad to day depended on the first of fifteen<br>
I had 2 kids to raise from a teenage love <br>
You couldn't tell me a thing because I knew what was up<br>
<br>
[Hook]<br>
<br>
[B-Legit:]<br>
I brought it down the block, crooked at 16 (16)<br>
Bought my first 22 from a dope fiend (dope fiend)<br>
I kept my nose clean, paper by all means<br>
And only real niggas rolled on the team<br>
<br>
[E-40:]<br>
Ah, ah, a most of you ain't never had to pawn (had to)<br>
A lot of you ai't had to stoned out (stoned out) <br>
But there's something different on my behalf (behalf) <br>
Do what I do to get the cash (get the cash)<br>
<br>
[D-Shot:]<br>
My daddy didn't give a shit, I had to struggle and strive to make a<br>
motherfuckin' grip<br>
And every dollar and 15 cents, I gave to my mamma cause we wasn't that rich<br>
<br>
[Suga-T:]<br>
Me the knot, give up the twat, hoes wasn't taking that shit on my block<br>
We had a lot of foes, when we first started out (spit it girl)<br>
Now there's players everywhere from the north to the south (beeotch)<br>
<br>
