Intro: Julius De'Von]

Ok....ok ye' ..yeah..here we go...ugh


[Verse 1]

Young nigga with ambition my goal is the title

I will reign king, word to the holy bible

Never did that hatin' shit my nigga that is vital

Lyrics like gorilla's man my heart be pumping primal

Have you ever had to drink pool water for survival

Maybe pain then push to the point of suicidal

Constant struggle was custom to the childhood cycles

So me and my niggas look up to the gangsta disciples

For a moment step in my real life

Look in the sky ain't shit bright

Look at the walls they peeled white

Struggle and stress is a daily vice

There's no brain food for the appetite

To keep the flame going for the candle light

A lot of souls gone no candle lights

You ain't give me life so why should I fight

For it, he replies because I'm bored

Like a piece of plywood that should be boarded

I can't reply so I ignore it

The house of pain key is stuck inside my windpipe

Want a jumpsuit with those pinstripes

Give insight, there's no help for you in sight

So dim the lights and close the blinds


[Chorus]

You gotta keep going strong, so throw your grind face on ugh

Gotta keep going strong, so throw your grind face on

If they asking why you hustle nigga, tell em everydays a struggle nigga

Cause everydays a struggle nigga, that's the reason why I hustle nigga

If they asking why you hustle nigga, tell em everydays a struggle nigga

Cause everydays a struggle nigga, that's the reason why I hustle nigga


[Verse 2]

You can see the power in pain, the pain in power

If concrete can sprout a flower , even a crew can knock down a tower

Even Tony said this world was ours

There's a man inside of every coward

That stood inside the house of pain

With lots to gain , the shit is not a game

Look around you this shit is real

Cmon God I need a different deal

Cause this house right here is hell for real

Life is driven, I ain't behind the wheel

Time to delete this scene and cut the movie reel

I don't feel like pushing up daffodils

I'm just stating on how I feel

Cause the hood had gave me the right to kill

Damn why must I go through this all the time

I must be out my mind , cause I'm hustlin' for a dime

Just waitin for my time

Don't try to size me up or read what's on my medulla

Just read between the lines

Man I'm tired of the poverty stricken life we live

I mean I love it , but man my crib you have no idea

That the amount of the fear , the scream in my ear

The struggle through the year, I can swim in my tear

We were meant for the rear , Gotta clean my mirror just to make it all clear

My letter to God should I start it with a dear


[Chorus]

Gotta keep going strong, so throw your grind face on ugh

Gotta keep going strong, so throw your grind face on

If they asking why you hustle nigga, tell em everydays a struggle nigga

Cause everydays a struggle nigga, that's the reason why I hustle nigga

If they asking why you hustle nigga, Cause everydays a struggle nigga

They asking why you hustle nigga, Cause everydays a struggle nigga
