Huh, it get rough sometime baby 

Gotta make it over that hump though 

You know I'm tal'n bout, shit 

Ery'body feel that, can't frown on that note ha 

It get strange and crazy sometimes, ha 



[Mr. 3-2] 

Shit I'm going through it, trying to deal with it 

It's a must I go get it, cause my pockets is addicted 

To Benjamin Franklins, I'm thinking of capers to pull 

In this screwed up world, where the jail house full 

Niggaz is locked in the game, with nowhere to turn to 

Not even a high school diploma, so what will I do 

Loved by few, and hated by many 

Down on my luck, and nobody offer me a penny 

Remember we sipped Henny, and blowed on doja 

Fell off for a second, now nobody know ya 

Gotta keep your composure, it's all work no play 

Putting in my groundwork, to see a better day 

Struggling we steady be hustling, to stay on feet 

What else I'ma do, baby my family gotta eat 

That's deep but that's life, raw and uncut 

How it really go down, this world is corrupt 



[Hook x2] 

It's rough, ya can't give up and lay down 

Had to what, had to raise up out them hard times 

It get rough, believe me and could always love me 

Situations get crucial, and man it get ugly 



[Mr. 3-2] 

Up's and down's, smiles and frowns 

You got people peeping round, when you broke they can't be found 

Out of sight out of mind, getting myself together 

Writing boys off like letters, cause they change like the weather 

Drastic measures I'm taking, when it come down to it 

Attacking drama in the making, and run right through it 

Pursue it quick fast, raising up from the bottom 

Cause no matter who you are, everybody got problems 

Don't let 'em get to ya, I know at points it's hectic 

Just staying focused keep faith, and put your game in perspective 

Feel my message, now take it for what it's worth 

Coming straight from the heart, hitting it where it hurt 



[Hook x2] 



[Mr. 3-2] 

I take the good with the bad, bad with the good 

Cause you win some you lose some, keep that understood 

If I could I would, everyday ain't for splurging 

Hold on to what you got, stack knots and keep working 

It's certain, that thangs always get greater later 

Breaking bread with my folks, twerking my money maker 

Fakers fall behind, and never catch back up 

The real remain forever, ashes to the dust 

It's hard but it's fair, it could always be worse 

I keep G-O-D first, everyday I walk the earth 

From the dirt we came, and to the dirt we return 

When it's over and done, and this crooked world turns
