(feat. Mia X)



[Mia X:]

Mama Mia and the Ghetto Twiinz

puttin down the real y'all

something y'all can feel y'all

No Pain No Gain, believe that



[GT:]

Mama told me there be days like this

You have to be bout your hustle if you planin to be rich

It always takes a nobody to bring ya down

But it take somebody to stand in grounds

Have mercy on our kids today (have mercy)

Surviving tryin to make a way (have mercy)

The killers got me back in heat, I can't trust them

Why you wanna capture me?  Straight buckin

Gonna always face pain in life

I ain't sayin it's gon' be easy u gotta gain some strife

Just because I'm from the ghetto, it's even harder

I gotta be strong and bustin my ass for my son and daughter

Don't you call me a lie cause I'm living proof

slangin drugs yes I used too, bust slugs if I have too

So don't tell me what you can't do or won't do

Just keep ya head up and stay true



[Chorus: x3] No Pain No Pain, No Gain (no gain)



[GT:]

You can be a cook in the kitchen, a lady in the streets

you cant show your tits to every guy you meet

It's alright to be a little sweet

but being mama to them kids and your no



[Chorus]



[Mia X:]

Sisters I know it's hard cause everyday it's a struggle

Being both mommy and daddy, tryin to hustle

Anyway you can just to bring home the bacon

Baby daddy fakin it

Keepin your head achin

Takin shit off a job payin you 4.65, an hr. (damn)

Feeling like slaves cause the white man still holds the power

But your strength will get (stronger) soon, remember that

because we God's children.. strong, fearless and black

Fact still remains we are harder then a motherfucker

Lord, how long they gonna try to keep ya children under

Don't sit and wonder, pull ya'self up and stand firm

Cause every bit of pain you take is a lesson learned

You earned the right to be a queen girl

So take your throne

And if your man is a good man, then be his back bone

We strong like Noah's ark, we gon' make it thru the rain again

I know it seems bad but we gon' laugh after the pain again

Believe that...



[Chorus]



[GT:]

Out here strugglin and striving got me screamin for help

Ain't nobody giving me shit I gotta get it myself

got my back against the wall but I'm surviving this shit

Can't run, can't hide in the midst of the shit

Who do you call when your kids get hungry

Can't call on baby daddy he left you lonely

Only lord know the pain that we fightin inside

Don't you cry, dry your eyes it's either do or die

Mama made us some strong women, gotta be strong women

Gotta hold on women, and best believe we gon' make it

through the storm women, never let them see you sweat

if you under pressure, pressure

So don't let them stress ya

Don't let them get the best of ya

Cause if they do they is gonna take advantage of ya

So keep it true, see we be fightin against the world

Precious like a pearl, got me screamin fuck the world



[Chorus]
