Ft. Lil Boosie
(Intro)
Yeah, wa**up
Time for the fallen soldiers
Can't have a war without casualties
Ya know? (Believe that)
For everybody goin' thru the struggle
Ya know? Real sh** errday, errday sh** is real
(In the hood, erry ghetto, erry block, erry trench)
I know how ya feel
(Look!)
(Hook)
I been on the grind for so long
Had to find my way on my own
I can tell ya how it beez like
I can tell ya how it beez like
I'm a true hustler on it, I know
I can make it anyway that I go
I can tell ya how it beez like
I can tell ya how it beez like
(Verse: Jeezy)
Started from the hood, gotta get money fast
Pocket full of green, n***a, like a head of lettuce
Work in the bank, workin' yayo samps (samps)
Then we go and spread it thru the hood like mar-wich (damn)
One thing about it, we gon' get this bread
New sh** fo' real when they file a red day
Hit on the corner was young n***a, sossa that
Right by the stopsign, that's where they was bussin' at
When ya come here with nothin', you gotta learn how to provide
? had a beef for you, was old enough to try
Luther King, 20 err' night, carol ain't nothin'
n***a have k**, take it off for his cut
Man, the new sh** is real, pop the outfit for the feds
Still eight years and the n***a shot him dead
All the humble boy gettin' slumped in his car
Errbody got a day, no matter who you are
(Hook)
I been on the grind for so long
Had to find my way on my own
I can tell ya how it beez like
I can tell ya how it beez like
I'm a true hustler on it, I know
I can make it anyway that I go
I can tell ya how it beez like
I can tell ya how it beez like
(Verse 2: Lil Boosie)
Stone water, heat cold water
Knew I'd touch a bird when I hit my first quarter
Send the water to a whale, n***a
Cold nights, cold hearts, tough luv is what it be like in jail, n***a
Momma cryin' in my visit cuz she care for me
Daughter just had a period, I ain't there for her
Know how to have a girl that know just to hold you back
But the p**y so good, you keep goin' back
Heard that yo main man turn back
Make the whole lot familiar, turn hot like that (aw, man)
In the city, in the block, in the boulevard
I survived, no lie, I'm a ghetto boy
I can tell ya bout the do's and dont's
Can make it anywhere I go, so lose I won't
I can tell ya bout the hard times, when ya really need it
Been grindin' so long, still had to call ?
(Hook)
I been on the grind for so long
Had to find my way on my own
I can tell ya how it beez like
I can tell ya how it beez like
I'm a true hustler on it, I know
I can make it anyway that I go
I can tell ya how it beez like
I can tell ya how it beez like
(Verse 3: Jeezy)
What?! Workin' from the bottom, tryna make it from the top
What the dummer don't give you gotta get it from the block
I feel like the bad boy, like this sh** don't stop
Street so dirty, need a muthaf**in' mop
Oh, oh, don't lose yo focus, handle yo business
Don't talk to the n***as, somehow you might be a witness
Don't tell in discussion what you did or what you dissin'
Don't tell the snitchy n***as what ya did with yo riches
n***as is hopin' they see Christmas
But if we just happen to throw(?)
We hope ya miss sell-aways, all seven them kids that miss a meal
See what the fingers right to the bone, they miss ?
n***as seek for the .9, let's make a deal
See nun' but connin' this money what make ya feel(?)
I used to get em right from the source, out in the rec
The same n***a that had a connect get intercept
(Hook)
I been on the grind for so long
Had to find my way on my own
I can tell ya how it beez like
I can tell ya how it beez like
I'm a true hustler on it, I know
I can make it anyway that I go
I can tell ya how it beez like
I can tell ya how it beez like
