You know life ain't tied with a bow but it's still a gift though Yeah life ain't felt but it's still good though It's a blessing just to be here Everything 1 k I know you're money hungry Can't wait cause you ain't eat all day And you gon' lose your mind if you don't get a plate I understand the ups and the downs street ****** gon' relate It's a struggle man I'm with you all the way This for all the soldiers fell victim to the system Everyday that goes by they so close to losing faith I got to thank god for everything It's a miracle how you'll wake up and your dreams right in your face I woke up in the morning on a cold slab How the hell I'm in a damn cell I'm in jail taking cold baths I went down the wrong path Lil boy don't go that way You prolly won't last Before I had the fame I had the name I earned my stripes like adidas Sliding base like I'm derek jeter Growing up with no father it'll make you evil How he gon' learn to be a man when you ain't never teach him Youngin' can't even read but he totin' the desert eagle Look how she left I bet she told you she won't never leave you The same ***** was hating I turned them to believers I done made it through the rain and I ain't called fema I know you're money hungry Can't wait cause you ain't eat all day And you gon' lose your mind if you don't get a plate I understand the ups and the downs street ****** gon' relate It's a struggle man I'm with you all the way This for all the soldiers fell victim to the system Everyday that goes by they so close to losing faith I got to thank god for everything It's a miracle how you'll wake up and your dreams right in your face I probably thank god cause without him who is me He unlocked my cell when they threw away the key Jailbird I was caged in he came and set me free I was just on the news now I'm on mtv Hurting cause your people ate and you ain't get a piece Now you're taking from your people plate cause you just tryna eat Grinding for a mil and I ain't talkin' bout a combo My mama need a crib I been thinking bout a condo You nothing when you down it's crazy how people treat you Come around now you can't even hit the reefer I pray for all my youngins who done took the same route Brother from the same struggle cut from the same cloth I know you're money hungry Can't wait cause you ain't eat all day And you gon' lose your mind if you don't get a plate I understand the ups and the downs street ****** gon' relate It's a struggle man I'm with you all the way This for all the soldiers fell victim to the system Everyday that goes by they so close to losing faith I got to thank god for everything It's a miracle how you'll wake up and your dreams right in your face Everything 1 k
