[Petey Pablo]
Yeah it's a struggle in this life
And sometimes people around the world can't understand the struggle
But if you were born in the country
Then you know, everything I'm talking about
[Chrous]
[Layzie Bone and Petey Pablo]
Bone Bone Bone Bone Bone Hey [x8]
I been locked out doors out in the cold
In the streets plenty enemies no place to go
Rappin like a dog trying to get on
Charge a n***a next to nothing for 16 bars
Y'all don't hear me though
Y'all don't feel me though
Y'all don't understand the intensity of my road
Theres a struggle struggle to survive
Theres a struggle struggle for your life
[Layzie Bone]
[Verse I Interlude]
It's a struggle out here man
Tell 'em Petey it's real out here
[Verse I]
[Layzie Bone]
See a n***a from the G-H, E-T-T-O
Where my n***as slung dope in the snow fa sho
In the city that I'm from n***as go for broke
This CLEVELAND n***a what'chu ain't know?
I'm in the concrete jungle we can do it we can rumble
Take it to the hood make your whole click crumble
All I ever see was heavy smoke in the air, they got me bustin off shots like I just don't care
In the hood like a motherf**er always had to struggle mayne
Always been a winner though I never knock the hustle game
Some of them n***as they'll never change
Bounce back with a hit like a n***a made of rubber mayne
Bad mothaf**a dawg you don't really wanna tell a n***a he can get it if I gotta get up on it
If i got it i'ma flaunt it, i'ma make a n***a want it smack the hater in the face with a stack of them hundreds
All about the dolla bill, you don't wanna holla k**, been broke and I know how that feels
Still real in the field tryna get another mill' life is love and n***a that's for real

[Verse II]
[Wish Bone]
Ima hit 'em with a hustle, I ain't him
On the block in the winter with whip, tims on, lights on, let's go
No No gotta give 'em what they came for, still need doe to fo'
Bet cha hood at quite like mine, step up and you will lay down
Let's see yours, I'm coming for mine, so pay now...or lay down
Hit 'em with a hurricane, im serious mayne Glock co*ked, you don't wanna play
No games, insane, everybody, everyday
In the midst of all the sh**, better be good
If you spit some sh**, n***a better be hood
Ima wreck this thug sh**, speak this thug sh**

[Krayzie Bone]
Now let me tell you about a hustler stayin' above the water
I'm not even making my quota, but they know I'm hotter than florida
n***as know I'ma sew it up like a suicide bom-ba, blow 'em up cause they just some soldiers
n***a I done payed my dues, you don't really wanna walk in my shoes
You ain't tryna get caught up in my blues it's like the News
Cause every different day it's a circle, but n***a anxious to bubble, we gotta huddle they dont hear me though
They don't know about our hard times, n***a 'til they saw mine then I bet they be like "oh wow?! you alive?"
Talk about a n***a homeless, man I put the less in the home, and in the coldest winters
But I dont wanna live a, life like this-a cause pretty soon I rather gotta up pipe n***a
If I don't come up on me some bread, cause I gotta lota demons runnin' through in my head, yeah
And I really bet i'm thinkin' never knowin that I'm going, and I'm runnin' through the snow because i'm hunting for a mutha f**er
Whatchu know about hardtimes?
