(Tragedy talking)
Ayo, they say...
They say what doesn't k** you only makes you stronger
Nah'mean? The mothaf**az been trying to k** Mahdi
Nah'mean? But I always keep getting stronger
That's what keeps f**ing their head up
I stay strong, stay grown, nah'mean?
[Tragedy Khadafi]
Yo, I praise Allah thank 'em for every breath and every scar
Rags-2-Riches all you snake n***as inshallah
Lost my moms when they said Saddam had nuclear arms
Murder cases, blowing trials, remain calm
Facing the Judge, went to war wit these fake thugs
I gave you breath yet you still show no love
I help build the Bridge, brick-by-brick
In every building I ain't hitting tho
Love to see y'all n***as getting millions
Keep that heat low for jealous mothaf**az catching feelings
It's f**ed up when n***as drag your name in the street
And your baby moms is f**ing every n***a she meet
I took a fall; she even kicked me when I was down
No thanks, Underground King I hold that crown
2-5 stay on the grind, we gon' hold that down
2-5 stay on the grind, we gon' hold this down
[Uncredited Female Singer]
I can't tell who's my friend or foe
Because they all too close to me
I can't see who made me good or harm
Because they all said they loved me
I would like to be nice
But being nice got these n***as trying pulling my life
And that just can't be
I came up in these streets and I earned my stripes
So I'ma stand up like a G, IF YOU DON'T KNOW!!!
