They Wanna See me Fall, And I just want it all, Cuz I been through a lot, non stop, so they gone give my props, keep on fighting til I'm standing at the top and they yelling, I'm the man

Whole life been a struggle, but ain't no quit in me, my family motto is to hustle, in the studio, books or the streets, Look at me, see my gram steady Workin 9 to 5, man I hate to see her drive to oneil everyday, but the bills gettin paid, she keep money in my bank, but if it was up to me, it'd be a whole different way, I'm gonna make it, Put that on everything I love, I hope my cousin Delores is watching me from above, id tell her Tootsie I miss you, wish I could find the shooter, hope the nigga is listenin I wanna do somethin to ya, But I put this on my brother that I lost in 93, I won't get caught in the streets, I'll help out the family, I'm doin all that I can, to better the man in me, The world will know of my struggles, feel my pain in their muscles

Comin from where I'm from, shit its welfare and a lot of guns, where kids get shot like its nothin, they like to rob for fun, a lot of em ain't never got to meet their pops, if the don't get to the league, I bet they still sling the rock,if they don't make it to cal, guess they slipped to the rock, but promise I'll never fail, I'm destined to be on top, because I grind, put in the time, I worked for mine, polished so I'm finna shine, Swear I do it for my pap, he be Workin to the bone, I'm givin love in a place where feelings are never shown, but this is the place I've grown, back to my roots, what you call a black hole, Is a place I call home, tryna make a better life than I've had in the past, show my brothers the way, help out my mom n dad, this is what hard work sounding like, Rough times pressure you to want to live the diamond life...
