Life ain't sweet   Damn shol ain't peachy   Just keep ya head up   Oh babe      As I dig deep inside my soul   Look into my past   And all that I had through these glass windows   I find myself wandering' all alone   About the ways that yesterday   Changed the path I chose   Oh      Ain't no tellin' where I'd be   Dead or in the penitentiary   From shootouts wit' my enemy   Squeeze until my clips empty   But would they give sin to me   By the hands that was lent to me   Know that it was meant to be   To take over this industry      Yea   It's goin' down   No more gettin' left behind   It's time to shine   Mind on my grind   Look      And only the Lord knows   If I don't succeed   Then my family's left out in the cold   So I gotta play my cards   'Cause if I fold   No superstar, expensive cars   Or designer clothes oh      Ain't no tellin' where I'd be   Dead or in the penitentiary   From shootouts wit my enemy   Squeeze until my clips empty   But would they give sin to me   By the hands that was lent to me   Know that it was meant to be   To take over this industry      Never feelin' bad, situations gettin' sad   Just gotta move on, sun gone shine   Just wait till mornin' yea   Outta all the struggles   All the pain, all the hurt   It's alright      Gotta be strong, time moves on   No matter what   When situations get bad   When times get sad   Gotta keep yo mind up   Gotta keep ya grind up   From 99, never let it behind      Just gotta stay ahead of the race, keep up my pace   It won't be long, when a feelin's all I can take   I see my heartbreak, just makes me strong   No matter what nobody say   I got rhymes to make I'm reachin for the throne   'Cause I know that my yesterday   Been the best of dayz just take it slow      See I know though I'm young   Money don't grow on trees   Only 18   But I done seen some shit   You know yea I run wild   Live the fast lane lifestyle   I can't help I'm a ghetto child      It's all good now I see   I hear now reach 8 feet   You know   Ain't gotta smell that piss in the project halls   I gotta new place to stay now nigga   Yea but uh, I'm a focus still in the hood   I'm coming' back, takin' all y'll niggaz wit me   Gotta do this together
