We down bad, ain't no denying Money low, but we still trying Hustling hard just to survive In the streets, gotta stay alive Got no time for the fake shit Gotta grind, gotta make it Every day is a struggle But we ain't gonna buckle Living in the hood, it's rough But we ain't giving up Gotta keep pushing through No matter what we go through Life ain't easy, that's a fact But we ain't looking back Gotta stay strong, gotta stand tall Even when we down bad, we still ball In the face of adversity We show our diversity Rising up from the bottom Ain't nothing gonna stop 'em We down bad, but we ain't defeated Every obstacle, we gonna beat it No matter what comes our way We gonna make it through another day
