Everything you get.
You got to work hard for it.

We can't change the World.
Unless we change ourselves.

I'm living everyday like a hustle.
Another drug to juggle.
Another day, another struggle.

If you don't love yourself.
I'll make you see your own heart.

I'm stuck living the life of a ghetto n_gga.

I'm a soldier, ready for whatever.

We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us.
No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us.
Birthdays was the worst days.

I never wish death on nobody.
'Cause they ain't coming back from that.

I love it when ya call me Big Poppa.

I was a terror since the public school era.
Bathroom passes, cutting classes, squeezing a--es.

Sh_t, don't ask me, I went from ashy to nasty to classy.

Excellence is my presence. Never tense, never hesitant.

I spit phrases that'll thrill you.
Your nobody til somebody kills you.

I'ma tell you like a n_gga told me.
Cash rules everything around me.

I'm a soldier, ready for whatever.

Relax & take notes.
While I take tokes of the marijuana smoke.
