[Hook x2]

Its so haaa-aard

Living our life as thugs

I know, I gotta stay strong

Through all the pain, we gotta move on


[Dougie D]

Every day that I live life, a nigga steady be trying

To deal with the drama, then the struggle and pain

Don't wanna go and do the wrong thang, cause a nigga know

I gotta keep my mind focused, for my little girl reign

My baby mama ain't coming, instead of playing them games

Made them kidnap, there his baby

Alisha and Jennifer, Christopher care less

And y'all gon pay for what you did, yeah yeah

And I'ma put it in the Lord's hand, and let it be

And ain't no looking for war, that the Lord can't beat

Child gon see heavenly father, in the sky

Will you deliver me, from my enemies

Although my pain burns deep, through my fate struggles

I prayed for these peeps, revelation has been revealed

That the world is coming to, an end surely

Hope you understand, and shorty this is a message from my father

Save my soul, don't stress if I'm balling, what is it for

A lot to gain the world, but to lose a soldier

For the love of balling, hoping that you can hear me darling

Dear Lord keep us all here from falling, this is my world

This is my promise, keep me humble to raise my daughter

[Trae]

Fin to make me another nigga feel my pain, stressed out

Praying in chains, sick of living the game and it'd never be the same

I've been here too much, all of my niggas I love

Getting locked up, and dropping in the ground too much

I would give my life to see em, smile again

All of the pain that I feel, fin to run me dry

Look in the sky, and why my niggas had to die

These tears that I cry, can't bring back the time

Of life, the time we use to ride together

On the grind, to get us in we gon get this chedda

And now a nigga write letters, and feeling the rainy weather

To my brother in the penn, praying that its gonna get better

We tougher than leather, never ever will I get bucked

Aggravated in the mind, and about to click up

Being broke and my head, I got to keep up

Any devil running up, they about to get bust

I put it on my life this world is shife, everybody gon wanna die

But I'ma pay that price, before I sell my soul trying to wheel the fast life

You better feel my vibe, and try to get your mind right

Now this is the sound of a thug's cry, I can't lie

Lord please tell me why, when a nigga try to do right

Everything starts to go bad, so I'm begging my Lord to help me fight back


[Hook x3]


I gotta stay strong, a lonely life

And I've been trying, to live my life

I've been struggling, just to live life

I'm tired, I'm tired of living li-ife

And I've been struggling, just to live life

I'm doing my best, to provide for my child

And everyday that I'm living li-ife

And I'ma continue to hold it down

Ye-eah, I gotta hold it down

And I'ma continue to hold it down

I'm looking up to my father, in the sky

Until he come got me, and give me my props

And I don't wanna, let you down

But I've been struggling, just to hold it down

And I'ma continue to live li-ife 

I gotta stay focused, and live my life right
