The Hard Way

Gotta do it the way
You gotta do it
Till you cant do it that way
Know what i mean?
Looking back 10 years ago
I would of never believed
That Id be at
Where I'm at now
It's been a crazy ass ride dawg

I cut ties with baby mama cuz she's off high
I dont fuck with drama dawg, that's on life

Walls full of graph n rap plaques from the past
Serve as harsh reminders of what i used to have

Head full of stress i just wanna relax
Kick back n roll a blunt up out my weed stash

Fake friends float away as the time goes
Got me lookin back like where the fuck the time go

All the hood shit clouding up my real dreams
Out here hungry as fuck but ain't got nothing to eat

Lost some steam now I'm bouncing back
Had ta let go of some fools that couldn't do the math
Super trash

They told me that i wouldn't make it in this industry
But that up to them naw dawg thats up to me

Roll with real ones n everything gon' be ok
Until it ain't
N i learn that shit the hard way

They told me that I wouldn't make it
In this industry
I guess my shits too real
To ink a deal with Disney

Roll with real ones n everything gon' be alright
Keep your head high homie n focus on your grind

They told me that i wouldn't make it in this industry
But that up to them naw dawg thats up to me

Ayo, JBD life been crazy huh
Look at us now tho
And the ones that said they where
Gunna be their
Where the fuck they at huh?
B.M.G. in this bitch

I try an find my piece of mind
but i gotta hide from the demon inside
My head high but i wanna die
Feeling like a bum in the slums
when the sun comes up
Imma get mine

Im packed in the back with a strap
And a pack in my left palm
Back to attack on the map
its a fact I'm a Mac
Yeah

If you didnt know
Now you know it homie
These cold streets get so lonely
Back when i had that 40 on me

Cody told me i gotta change
I dont know but its all the same
Doin drugs just to ease the pain
Hide my feelings fuck the shame

Cold world but i want the fame like...

Roll with real ones n everything gon' be ok
Until it ain't
N i learn that shit the hard way

They told me that I wouldn't make it
In this industry
I guess my shits too real
To ink a deal with Disney

Roll with real ones n everything gon' be alright
Keep your head high homie n focus on your grind

They told me that i wouldn't make it in this industry
But that up to them naw dawg thats up to me

Roll with real ones n everything gon' be ok
Until it ain't
N i learn that shit the hard way

They told me that I wouldn't make it
In this industry
I guess my shits too real
To ink a deal with Disney

Roll with real ones n everything gon' be alright
Keep your head high homie n focus on your grind

They told me that i wouldn't make it in this industry
But that up to them naw dawg thats up to me
