[Verse 1]
Its Go Hard Or Go Home
Yeah Thats My Motto
Can't Sleep At Night
Cause I'm Thinkin' Bout Tomorrow
Never Have To Beg Or Borrow
Cause I'm A Go & Make Mine
Used To Go I Had To Take
A Pistol On The Waist Line
But What That Get Me?
If I Get Caught
15 Years In The Penitentiary
A Couple More For A Gang Enhancement
f** That Time To Hustle
No More Taking Chances
I Think I'll Start With This Rap sh**
Hit The Studio & Work
On My Very First Cla**ic
A Far Cry From The Past
Homies Used To Blast
Now We All About Chasing Cash
Had A Conversation
With The Homies Today
On How sh**s Changed
Not Like Back In The Day
But The Only Thing Thats Promised
Is Some Change
Either Get With The Times
Or Get Left Behind
So Much Work Puffing Kush
To Release The Mind
[Mr. Criminal]
sh** Homie, Ain't Nothing Coming To You In This Life For Free
You Gotta Get Up And Get Out And Get Yours
Lets Get It
[Chorus]
You Hustle Hard Or Don't Eat
I Stay Grindin' Don't Sleep
All Day Everyday
I Stay Chasin' Pay
There Ain't No Room For The Weak
You Gotta Grind Or Don't Shine
Up That Latter I Climb
All Day Everyday
I Stay Chasin' Pay
I Keep That Money On Mind
[Verse 2]
You Gotta Work Hard
To Get What You Want
Hustle Hard Or Go Home
Without That You Flop
Its Dedicated To My Hustlers
Get Your Money f** The Rest
Thats A Message To Them Youngsters
I'm Trying To Set A Good Example
Like My People Did Before Me
Working Hard
And They Channel All Their Energy
In To The Generation In Front Of Them
For All That Hard Work They Done Did
I'm Loving It
And What About My Role Model
She Work Harder Than A Man
Since I Didn't Have A Father
And What About My Own Kids
They'll Be Better Than Their Father
Cause Example That I Give
And I'm Proud To Tell You That
Looking Forward To The Future
And I'm Not Looking Back
I Feel My People Been Attacked
All These Immigration Laws
Trying To Hold My Raza Back
You Gotta Work Hard
To Prove Your Worth
But Let My People Have The Chance
To Work First
[Mr. Criminal]
Hypocritical Ass Muthaf**ers
If We Held Your Asses Back
Where The f** Would You Be
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
If It Ain't About The Money
I Ain't Really Trying To Hear It
Out Chasing Digits
Dollar Bills I Stay Committed
Been On The Hustle
Since Snoop Was Acquitted
Early 90's
Southern California Life
I Know You Feel It
And Every Track I Release
I Rep For My Gente
Plus I Do It For The Streets
But I Still Try Not To Lose My Focus
Trying To Give A Voice
To My People Feeling Hopeless
And I'm Never Gonna Stop
Guaranteed Mr. Criminal
Aiming Straight For The Top
And I Do It For My People
Trying To Give Us A Position
To Respect Us As Equal
[Chorus]
