..... (Where im from where im from this what real niggas do)

Broke den a bitch still rockin like cut of stockins, if you late then you preggers with a letter sayin i gotcha!

The kid from the slums bangin drums and launchin rockets,
underneath a thick cloud of that loud mo in my pocket lets get high

Cause aint no love in the city... yall niggas dont hear me..
lets get high! cause aint no love in the city no pain no gain just get it!

Youll sell a dime nigga ill sell a nickle.. get it how it come cause it come everyday
an H U S T L A from round the way put the house on me we on our way..

From the cradle... to the grave.. NO CHAIN.. still slaved
these jobs... wont hire... my bills.. aint paid....

.... so what am i to do? To you it may seem difficult but when ya role models aint role models and ya educators aint educating..

just decussation just preparation in and out of jail since middle school....
at an early age learned to hate the judge and the principle...

hell born... hell raised... still ride like the 7th day
how can you lose how can you lose if you true to the game..

Hook

Mayne,..... i heard em say... focus on tomorrow not yesterday
You can CLIMB.. high as heavens and harder ways..
but shit, you gotta go to work and go hard today..

I woke up this morning blessed to breath..
then i said a prayer God bless the weak.. amen

Verse 2

Menopolis menoplis i tend to live forever
through poverty my prophecy's an unfinished letter

i monopolize with beats a rhymes and my momma say that im special
turned 18 was considered grown. i love you but you cant help me

nah not at all.. im strong at mind, and im strong at heart
ya favorite actor couldnt play the part.. no Denzel, no Washington

every song feels like the start.. gone get this cheese and pay off these fees
owe these colleges and the water been turned off for about a week

but we live on.. what dont kill.. strengthens a nigga with might and will
strong enough to where he might spill. blood for his. you undadigg?

t jones please stay strong.. another comes when the day gone
another chance just to be greata.. glad to be ya young gladiator.

open to favor closed to the hatred.. tryna grow, bitch im tryna go
truth be told, i should of shit here a long time ago

but wasnt able.. now im labeled.. pistol charge in my lap
armed robbery on my mind, a homicide if it lead to that but a nigga gotta get it


Hook 3
