[Hook] If you ain't never been through the struggle n***a you won't understand If you ain't never ever had to hustle n***a you won't understand If you ain't never lost yo' mind n***a you won't understand If you ain't never had to tote iron n***a you won't understand You won't understand n***a you won't understand Paranoid when I'm coming out the crib n***a you don't understand Every night I used to grind hard trying to come up on a band And ain't nan n***a taking my life won't give it up fam [Verse 1] I thank God for the pain and all the trauma Cause it taught a n***a how to be Strong And to face my problems I don't even smoke weed no more but I'm still a grinder Gotta keep my mind clear at all times so I can't be cloudy I thank God for my Daddy and my Momma Cause a lot of n***as don't got a daddy and they lost they Momma I always tried to escape pain and the drama But some how way or another it just seem to follow And when I lost my mind turned me into a monster
And now I done got it all back and that's what I thank God for Never start nothing with nobody and I never cause problems Never walk around like I'm tough stay humble but I'm solid [Hook] [Verse 2] I used to ride around with a little 380. that'll burn You Taking penitentiary chances riding with the burner And you would too if you knew it was n***as trying to murder But I know God got my life ain't nothing I'm scared of And n***as might say I'm lame cause I ain't up in the streets But I know myself too well and I know where I'll be Cause I know a young n***a like me ain't afraid to aim And I know a n***a been done threw his whole entire life in the drain Too many members of my family done been to prison And these n***as act like thugs until they get sentenced Cause n***as can't take that heat and they end up snitching He say he won't fold in the streets but the judge make him fold in a minute [Hook]
