[Kobe]

Through the hurt, through the pain

Through the storm and through the rain

When the struggle and the hurt goes

Through the roof

Through the storm, through the light (This is called The Growth)

When the storm went through my eyes (We gon' do it like)

I been through it all and stuck in through and through (Ho, whoa, ho, whoa, ho)

[Verse 1: Joe Budden]

Look, I want y'all to understand

I never did nothing to hurt nobody

I might'a shot at a couple a niggas, never murked nobody

Kind-hearted, e'rybody ain't as good, see, I'm one of them

Niggas who try to help out e'rybody in the hood (See)

Always stayed to myself, I ain't start wit niggas

A class clown dude (Class clown [?],) I ain't never bothered niggas

I did minor B&E's, (I did) Minor hustlin'

Minor stickups, as a minor it was minor, [?] (Nah)

Wasn't caked up, e'ry week buying new sneakers

Nah, I never been shot, don't aspire to either (Not really)

Never had a ill car with the real thin tires

That all the popular girls that's real thin would admire (Oh)

Yeah, I always stayed real, some prolly'd stunt

I guess I never had something somebody'd want

Nah, I never fronted hard as shit

And never had a nigga ride right on the side of my car and click!

Don't know dude, ain't seen him from the past or nothing (Let's Go!)

Wasn't tryna rob me, cuz he ain't ask for nothing

Had other people in the car that I was friends wit see

And he pointed at them first so was it meant for me, but stilll (What?)

God's got a major plan, and I don't need no other sign, God made it jam

So fam I ain't got beef with 50 nah I got beef wit Josh,(Yea!)

And I won't sleep till that beef is squashed (Fucker!)

Gotta get em, yea yea, I was thinkin that too

But here's my Timbs nigga, tell me what you think I should do

(What would you do if you me?)

Gun on me, all day I don't blink and I'm drew

Hand on it through the pocket, I dont think that that's cute, I Don't!

I never did that nah remember earlier I said I never lived that

But, gotta live that, I know where you live at

Sit back relax, gotta get at partner, this is get back Joshua!

[Joe Budden Verse 2]

How could a real nigga really wanna off with my wig

I give it back, I visit high schools, I talk to the kids, (Yooooo)

I do cleanup day in the hood

You gotta pay, so everyday, now is cleanup day in the hood, (Yea)

How could a nigga want my son growing up without a father

Maybe that you can answer me Joshua?

Josh is still some in the mag and I like sayin your name

It feels good knowing who was up under that mask (Fucker!)

So they say I ain't got sense, I'm giving nod to my henchmen

Like how I'm tryin to have revenge on divine intervention

Doing the hood a favor, make em lay face down

I'm gettin the jokers out the game y'all we playin Ace down!

I'm not sayin this thoughts is right

But all my life, I've been taught to fight

No recreation, I just bought a kite

Slippin, as if it was all good I was lamping

I was trippin, must have mistaken the hood for the Hamptons (Chea!)

Knowing the leaches is out

Whodini said it, at night the freaks is out

And they ain't leavin without

It's like a nigga need brakes

You left the keys in the Porsche

You in the hood like steak, like you ain't feed for the dogs

Like the wolves ain't hungry, won't get in yours

Can't hang out with pitbulls when you shit indoors

Then they can't wait to get in your bank

You can't be the only one above water when there's fish in the tank

I understand why niggas leave ain't they don't come back

It's either that or they family will grieve and they won't come back

Eulogy said and the caskets drop

You blew that young dude

I mean you literally had your shot (nigga!)

Niggas envy what they see

Out of sight, out of mind

So I'mma go on get ghost for a minute

You got a problem in your hood I can help you around it

Cause I've done been through it all I'm here to tell you about it

Na Mean!
