(feat. Master P, Fiend, Mo B. Dick, and O'Dell) [Chorus:] [Mo.B Dick and O'Dell] We won't be neglected We won't be denied We will not be hated Cause we're hustlin to survive Times so hard Tryin to make it Times so hard Tryin to make it [Fiend:] Now all jokes aside I'm having to realize I'm still breathing Since a baby teasin i knew i was gonna live Even reasons after celebrated seasons we was broke Hope was selling dope Or robbing these other folks I know every bad confrontayion that we was facing I'm a young black male what would you do in my situation Lately dozen altercation that win like a deck of cards Sayin we all out if you gonna accept the lord [Chorus] [Master P:] Bad times my cousin had done I sent two g's to his wife and son I'm sayin Dear god dont take me Why these b**hes and these n***as tryin ta break me I see dead presidents my friends get bent and mama
In the ghetto tryin to pay the rent In high school used to be kings and queens Came home of a two now they jackers and fiends Ugh! Survival play ghetto games Lose your life these days for some yards or gold rings [Chorus] [Young Bleed:] Can you visualize perfection in a section of a crib And a yard full of ghetto kids When i was dreamin and creamin and wasn't makin no money Steady hustlin high to make it for n***as to die for me Thats gonna forever be real And n***a thats regardless feelin like I'm still in my faith I'm hollowed headed and heartless Balancing life on a triple beam and gambling with the arts of fate And n***as got the nerve to playa hate A young n***a in this game to survive with a 45 Lookin at the sky gettin so high n***a Above the law with underguard right between the sky and the earth Ain't touchin dirt claim to the dirty game for what it's worth [Chorus]
