[Intro]
Man, first I just wanna salute my soldiers
Knahmean? We just trying to stay above water

Feel me? I mean I speak for the Gs, the hustlers
They understand me, knahmsayin?
%#@!

Lock into this time and lock out (always)
I mean ain't nothing promised to ^!$$%z like us
You know?


[Juelz Santana]
Just a, another day another dollar

Now look what you got
Another hater, another plotter
%#@!, you know the drill

A brother pay, a brother holla
Watch 'em, they creeping
Another raid, another copper

Aw man
Another case, another lock-up
What

Another bail, know that cake better pop up
Yup
That's just day to day %#@! we go through

And results of the day to day %#@!s we go through
Some ^!$$%z day to day pitch, they local, and
Some ^!$$%z day to day bricks, they coastal, and

Some ^!$$%z day to day snitch, they vocal
I don't honor them fools
Them type of dudes get they tonsils removed

I speak from the heart of the hood
From the boarded up apartments with wood
From the cracked down crack houses (yeah)

To the burnt up black houses
To fiends inside with that burnt up glass out
And puffing weed makes my actions switch

I'm at the window, with the pistol, like Malcolm
Ain't that a (*##$ (man)
And I'm paranoid, paranoid

But still I got to get it, got to have it, make it happen boy

[Chorus]

Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take
And may this song play all the way

And if it skip a beat, hit repeat
This the realest %#@! I ever wrote, this is me
And if it skip a beat, hit repeat

This the realest %#@! I ever wrote, this is me

[Juelz Santana]

Look now
Another dead, another born
Vice versa

Another here, another gone
Pay attention
Another smile, another mourn

Another funeral, another baby shower going on
Get it, huh
That's just life in the hood

You earn scars, you earn stripes in the hood
Huh, get it
I live the life of a hustler

No sleep all night for a hustler, buster
And if your !@%!e weak, cut it with Bo Peep sheep
I swear fiends will chase that high for four weeks

I'm still dealing with the day to day beef and
Stress, hunger, patience
The day to day basics

Yep, %#@! that we go through, you know
%#@!
Look at the %#@! that we go through, you know

^!$$%z come home, can't get jobs
^!$$%z getting money, acting like they can't get robbed
And that don't mix


[Chorus]
