[Intro:]

You know life ain't tied with a bow but it's still a gift though

Yeah life ain't fair but it's still good though

It's a blessing just to be here

Everything 1K



[Hook:]

I know you're money hungry

Can't wait 'cause you ain't eat all day

And you gon' lose your mind if you don't get a plate

I understand the ups and the downs, street niggas gon' relate

It's a struggle man, I'm with you all the way

This for all the soldiers fell victim to the system

Everyday that goes by they so close to losing faith

I got to thank God for everything

It's a miracle how you'll wake up and your dreams right in your face

Everything 1K



[Verse 1:]

I woke up in the morning on a cold slab

How the hell I'm in a damn cell

I'm in jail taking cold baths

I went down the wrong path

Lil boy don't go that way

You prolly won't last

Before I had the fame I had the name

I earned my stripes like Adidas

Sliding base like I'm Derek Jeter

Growing up with no father, it'll make you evil

How he gon' learn to be a man when you ain't never teach him?

Youngin' can't even read but he totin' the Desert Eagle

Look how she left, I bet she told you she won't never leave you

The same nigga was hating, I turned them to believers

I done made it through the rain and I ain't called FEMA



[Hook:]

I know you're money hungry

Can't wait 'cause you ain't eat all day

And you gon' lose your mind if you don't get a plate

I understand the ups and the downs, street niggas gon' relate

It's a struggle man, I'm with you all the way

This for all the soldiers fell victim to the system

Everyday that goes by they so close to losing faith

I got to thank God for everything

It's a miracle how you'll wake up and your dreams right in your face

Everything 1K



[Verse 2:]

I probably thank God 'cause without him who is me?

He unlocked my cell when they threw away the key

Jailbird, I was caged in, he came and set me free

I was just on the news, now I'm on MTV

Hurting 'cause your people ate and you ain't get a piece

Now you're taking from your people plate 'cause you just tryna eat

Grinding for a mil and I ain't talkin' 'bout a combo

My mama need a crib, I been thinking 'bout a condo

You nothing when you down, it's crazy how people treat you

Come around now, you can't even hit the reefer

I pray for all my youngins who done took the same route

Brother from the same struggle, cut from the same cloth



[Hook:]

I know you're money hungry

Can't wait 'cause you ain't eat all day

And you gon' lose your mind if you don't get a plate

I understand the ups and the downs, street niggas gon' relate

It's a struggle man, I'm with you all the way

This for all the soldiers fell victim to the system

Everyday that goes by they so close to losing faith

I got to thank God for everything

It's a miracle how you'll wake up and your dreams right in your face

Everything 1K
