Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Life ain't sweet
Damn sure ain't peachy
Just keep your head up
[Verse 2]
As I dig deep inside my soul
Look into my past and all that I had through these glass windows
I find myself wonderin' all alone
About the ways that yesterday changed the path I chose, oh
[Verse 3]
Ain't no tellin' where I'd be
Dead or in the penitentiary
From shootouts with my enemy
Squeeze until my clip's empty
But would they give sin to me
By the hands that was lent to me
I know that it was meant to be
To take over this industry
[Verse 4]
Yeah, yeah, it's goin' down
Ain't no more gettin' left behind
It's time to shine
Mind on my grind, look
[Verse 5]
And only the Lord knows if I don't succeed
Then my family's left out in the cold (Gotta succeed)
So I gotta play my cards, 'cause if I fold
No superstar, expensive cars, or designer clothes, oh (None of that)
[Verse 6]
Ain't no tellin' where I'd be
Dead or in the penitentiary
From shootouts with my enemy
Squeeze until my clip's empty
But would they give sin to me
By the hands that was lent to me
I know that it was meant to be
To take over this industry
[Verse 7]
Never feelin' bad, situation's gettin' sad
Just gotta move on
Sun gon' shine, just wait till the morning, yeah
Out of all the struggles, all the pain, all the hurt
It's alright, gotta be strong
Time moves on no matter what
Situations get bad, when times get sad
Gotta keep your mind up
Gotta keep your grind up
From nine to nine, never let it behind
[Verse 8]
Just gotta stay ahead of the race, keep up my pace
It won't be long, when I feel it's all I can take
I see my heartbreak just makes me strong
No matter what nobody say, I got rhymes to make
I'ma reach for the throne
'Cause I know that my yesterday been the best of days
Just take it slow
[Verse 9]
See, I know
Even though I'm young, money don't grow on trees
I'm only eighteen but I done seen some shit, you know
Yeah, I run wild, live the fast lane lifestyle
I can't help, I'm a ghetto child
It's all good, now I see
Here now, tryna reach eight feet
You know?
Ain't gotta smell that piss in the project hallways
Got a new place to stay now, ****
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But, uh, I'ma focus still
In the hood, I'm comin' back
Takin' all y'all **** with me
Gotta do this together
