They say the harder the struggle, the bigger the prize/ I be goin through mad sh**, jus conceal it wit pride/ Rent has been slippin eviction notice on my do'/ Get it by flippin the only method that I know/ Clouds in my vision heavens the limit what I heard/ Hell in my melon but I'm uplifted by kind words/ Ambition is driven by n***as livin in prison/ Servin sentences, pennin sentences, k**in our innocents/ Conditioned like militants, the feelins legitimate/ Work hard as an immigrant but we k** to jus penny pinch/ U talk but we livin it, smokin on grimace sticks/ Swear this wasn't the vision when we was buildin them pyramids/ Tut and Nefertiti couldn't see this with a genie/ Smokin reefer jus to ease our minds, to think freely/ This is a message for the adolescence stressin/ Pick up a book before you grab a weapon/
