come from the streets, where the struggle is real Gotta hustle hard to provide for my fam, that's the deal Money on my mind, ain't no time for no play Gotta stack that paper, make sure my family ok my mom Taught me to be a man, never back down or groan Got siblings to feed, gotta set the example I'll do whatever it takes, ain't no need to gamble Grew up in the hood, where the odds were against me But I rose above it all, now the world can't tempt me Got my eye on the prize, gotta stay on my grind For my family's sake, I'll never fall behind Blood is thicker than water, that's a fact I embrace No matter what happens, my family I'll never replace I'll ride for them, die for them, that's just how it goes Family over everything, that's the life that I chose.
