This song is dedicated, to everybody in the struggle
Everybody who shares that pain, and them dreams of one day seeing better days
Me personally, I'm about to embark on this journey that is my destiny
And I just need you to do one thing for me
If you love me let the Lord know
Keep me in your prayers
Tell him to bless me as I walk in the devil's lair
Been hell on Earth since Eve bit the forbidden fruit
And I've been nice since big said give me the loot
I'm a rap cliche another ghetto bastard, mama was a crackhead
I walk around half dead
Don't want no pity cuz I'm still after the glory
If you rep my city we might share similar stories
I'm a slumdog representative
Hard Knock Life stay woke no sedative
Street disciple, a well-informed Rebel
With these lines I shine like a iced out bezel
On my grind trying to hit the next tax level
Trying to show you that I'm the one like kettle
So give me more bass and less treble
And pray for me as I play the game with these Devil's
I do this for the ghetto bastards with Daddy's in the caskets
Single mothers with jobs taking night classes
We ain't meant to survive cuz it's a setup
So keep that in your mind when the Lord lets you get up
Go out and get something, never let them trap you
From the slums we gonna make it in the castle
It's not a need or a want it's a have to
Go do it like Capital One no-hassle
Do your own research, never let em get you
Cause they ain't gonna tell you that you special
They want us in the prisons and project buildings
They ain't gonna tell us that we all God's children
They say we the minority, clearly we the majority
Compared to the one percent everyone lives In poverty
With that said I grind till its all ova
Cause the Lord gave the hardest path to his strongest soldiers
