I know Know it's been hard Bein' low Know it's been hard (DTdaKidd) (Beat those drums) I know Know it's been hard Bein' low Know it's been hard Yeah I was brought up in the jungle, made me act like an animal Read a couple books, made me wanna be a radical Young nigga sittin' on the porch in the summertime Cup of ice water, soakin' up the sunshine Lil' puppy in a rush to be a big dog Watchin' unc' 'nem drink beer and shit talk Sunday morning, mama makin' sure I go to church Eatin' cereal and ironin' my church shirt Come home to the smell of Sunday dinner in the air Change clothes, make a play, eat, and take a nap Get up, hit the streets, walk the hood with my partner 'nem Tried to sell dope, but the music told me follow him Took me down a path no one in my family ever seen Ran with the devil 'fore I knew it was a better me Seen things that my grandpop would never see Still got a lot of things that I wanna be I know Know it's been hard Bein' low Know it's been hard Yeah Daylight, probably gon' catch me up again The streets a gamble, I hope I got a lucky hand I'm from the bottom, we grindin' to gain an upper hand And every scar I suffered gave me tougher skin Everything to gain, nothin' to lose We got too much pride to call in the troops We come from two different walks in life You probably never witnessed a homicide in your life Wish I could say the same, but I can't and I can't complain The hustle run in my family, I gotta break the chain I'm on a mission, I gotta go and get it I promised a better life for my babies, I'm so committed I got a job to do, I put in overtime Soon as I make it happen, I go with it one more time Here I stand with my story to tell But I'm sure you got a story as well Long live Pif I know Know it's been hard Bein' low Know it's been hard (DTdaKidd) (Beat those drums)
