I gotta hustle to survive everyday another grind
u should see what runs thru my mind
I sit back and think witt an L in my hand
should I look for a 9 to 5 or move them grams

Everyday we see mothers witt their family
cryin cuz their son got hit witt a bullet fire
and that was just for walkin down the wrong street
or maybe they was chillin witt the wrong peeps
I’m tryna figure out watz wrong in these hard streets

1 block got beef witt the next street
and nobody trust the police not me

Since I seen them jump my mans on the block
and it took em 15 minutes 2 come afta my mans got shot
but they quick 2 move when they want ya ass locked

im tryna see a betta day every 24 and not struggle jus 2 get by
I know it don’t sound right but at times I feel like I’m wasting my life…
