(Intro)
Yeah, uh
It's the realest %#@!


(Verse 1 ? Tayyib Ali)
Dear Lord, I want it, so you gotta tell me something

Growing up I was crazy, same streets I lost my mother
And since we talk in public, I can't tell you about my brother
But I guess he thought them ^!$$%s couldn't touch him

Yo, can I live without struggle
When we was fourteen, we stopped going to school
Rapping on days off, trapping on days off

One day I'll make it to New York in time
But until then, I'm on my grind, ^!$$%s dying and %#@!
Still got my old chucks on the wire and %#@!

Sometimes I cry for a bit, but then my homie told me it was life
Same night I got goals so I'm trying play the game right
I'm a star and I know it, soul in the dirt

But when I'm hurt, man I still don't show it
Even though what mattered to me it will never change actually
It will only make me a man

Yo it's easy to do the same thing with both your people's in jail
And that's the reason you ain't have to be in at 12
And all the things I'm doing now, I'm doing it well

Cause if I stay here, I'll be dead or in jail for real!

(Hook)

Hustle all the time, just trying to get it right (all night)
I pray to God that we'll make it through the night (all right)
I gotta make the best out of life,

Get it for cheap, or pay the price (right)
Yeah, hustle all the time, just trying to get it right (all night)
I pray to God that we'll make it through the night (all right)

I gotta make the best out of life,
Get it for cheap, or pay the price (right)


(Verse 2 ? Tayyib Ali)
Yo, if I keep my faith in God, I can shine when the time come
The grind got me nationwide like Verizon

I know some ^!$$%s put their future right behind them
Crystal right besides them, never worry about the outcome
Now the jail cell is where some of them reside in

I can't do that %#@!
No #~!!@, no weed, no studio
I'm hella serious, I know I sound goofy, though

But this the story of my life, I grew up where some don't make it
And the skinny ^!$$%s pack guns, stick it in their arms
Nightmares on the floor, woke up early in the morn

I'm feelin like it's fourth and long
On the field, the disadvantages, told my ^!$$%s, they don't understand this %#@!
I inspire people, I'm try win a Grammy with

Crooked letter, swear I'm on some David Banner %#@!
I just hope I see the day that I understand this %#@!!


(Hook)
Hustle all the time, just trying to get it right (all night)
I pray to God that we'll make it through the night (all right)

I gotta make the best out of life,
Get it for cheap, or pay the price (right)
Yeah, hustle all the time, just trying to get it right (all night)

I pray to God that we'll make it through the night (all right)
I gotta make the best out of life,
Get it for cheap, or pay the price (right)
