[Intro]

Sup lil' homie

Hold your head up man

Ball or fall

You know what it is

See it amongst us..

That's right

Walk strong


[Verse 1: Stic.Man]

Homie hold your head up, no matter what be strong

No sleep, Keep it G, cause' it's always on

It be hard everyday comin' up in the street

Feelin' stuck, that's why niggas don't give a fuck

But you can't let the struggle eat away at your soul

There's an end to the tunnel, there's a way out the hole

Gotta stay in control for your role and be thankful

Vow for the pleasures of life and when it's painful

The pressure and stress, don't let it break you

The blessings that come, don't let em' change you

Stay on top of your gangsta

Without struggle there is no progress

Be conscious and never lose faith in the process

Even when we jobless and homeless we full of potential

If nothin' else have hope

The struggle continues[x2]


[Hook: X2]

It may be difficult

But it's not impossible

There's only two ways to go

Ball or Fall

Though it be difficult

I know that it's possible

There's only two ways to go

Ball or Fall


[Verse 2: ?]

Suffer me this opportunity

To try to bring the people unity

Can't you see the life of you and me is bout' to come up

Self preservation and my family

Role model is daddy, slack back caddy

Goin all out

God bless the child that hold his own

Operatin under thug lawz renown

Its on hustle fo' your paper

Soldier ball never fall

Keep your focus in your faith

And it's all the war


[Verse 3: ?]

Look here

All you gotta do dawg is hold your head

Keep your mind focused, move forward instead

Instead of lettin' all that little shit get in the way

All that bitchin' and complainin' ain't gon' get you paid

Yeah it might seem hard at first

Put your faith in him and he gon' put you through the worst of times

And just when it seem like it ain't gon' get better

He gon' be there with you through the stormiest weather


[Hook]


[Verse 4: M-1]

Life

Hell of a struggle, it's a spiral not a cycle

If you know what's good, don't let the man get by

You better keep score, there's a low and there's a higher role

You in the red, put your life on the wire

Gotta hang tight, keep your pimp game tight

You could lose it all, and get it back the same night

But if you ain't in the game, there's no way you can win the game

That's on my African name, it ain't gon' end the same


[Verse 5: Young Noble]

Look Pac' been gone for twelve years now

The Lawz still here, we never slowed down

No matter how rough it got

There never was a option for a nigga to stop

Please God, just give me a little sign

Try not to lose faith, but I'm down to my last dime

And my son keep cryin' like he missin' the paps

He too young to understand that the bills don't stop

And I'll be damned if a lil' man struggle like we did

Free lunches at the church, cause there's nothin' in the fridge

Can a nigga just live? Naw you gotta hustle mang

Tryin' to bundle in this never ending struggle mang

I know God gon' get me through it

Got me feelin' like FUCK the music

It's hell for hustlers, they'd rather see me jailed and cuffed

But I'd rather stay focused, than not have enough


[Hook]
