man i remember days i used to get up
praying like a bishop that this music stuff would pick up
i always tried to haul my own load like a pickup
and if you work harder then success will come quicker
but make sure you don't take it to the head like liquor
i'm shooting for the bigger dipper
man i could feel the hunger in my stomach like sit-ups
now i'm eating to the point that a nigga got the hiccups
i see the sun shine through the dust clouds
no more taking the bus now
and it ain't bust a broad or hoes that we bust down
you should probably see the model chicks that we bust now
and we don't chase them 'cause they wanna chase us now
all my ex-dames say they wanna make up now
take 'em to the room and they wanna rape us now
man i went through the cold nights
but i woulda did it twice for the hoes and the highs
the struggle on the grind
but i woulda did it twice for the shows and the lights
man my city a hell hole like we like with satan
tried to make it to penn state
they throw us in state pen
i'm saying from the rim of the capitol
concrete jungle where they hunt you like animals
cut you in half like the sandwich and abandon you
you gon' need a bit more than a bandaid to bandage you
and if you turn your back they might stab you in the kidneys
really niggas known to keep the peace a hippy
but now i tend to spread my wealth around like jiffy
and the hoes that used to diss me is the ones who wanna kiss me
the ones who wanna kiss me is the ones who wanna quickie
i feel like i made it to the top of the mountain
rocking designer shit that you don't be pronouncing
getting money to the point i need an accountant
man i went through the cold nights
but i woulda did it twice for the hoes and the highs
the struggle on the grind
but i woulda did it twice for the shows and the lights
man shoutout to me and my crew
feels good to make something out of nothing
aye dj why don't you play some of my shit
