I live my life in the shadows of destruction
Chaos and corruption, breathin' N hustlin'
Kickin' up dust like somethin' disgustin'
It's magick, every single microphone that I'm touchin' PLVS
Create a brand somethin' that you can trust in
With gratitude or you can get attitude adjustin'
I don't gang bang, I'll shoot back bang bang
It's like a boomerang, give and get back the same thang
Cause' in these streets we just breathin' and hustlin'
No match for me, cause I'm much too much with
California style, it ain't up for discussion
So don't act surprised, when east side starts, rush in!
Better not give up, breathin' and hustlin'
Gotta keep fightin', breathin' and hustlin'
You're gonna make it, breathin' and hustlin'
If not, die tryin', breathin' and hustlin'
Better not give up, breathin' and hustlin'
Gotta keep fightin', breathin' and hustlin'
You're gonna make it, breathin' and hustlin'
If not, die tryin', breathin' and hustlin'
Step into my neighborhood strapped always rollin' deep
Any time day of the week, night or day babosos creep
Bangin' they drums to the rhythm of a gangster beat
With gangster speed, gettin' what a gangster needs
Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap
Keep that forty five heat tucked under my seat
Swervin' suburban streets, servin' every fiend I meet
Never miss a beat, misery ain't company that I keep
I'm a hip hop thugster, since I was a youngster
I always sold dope out my garage like a drug store
Some people play the game and don't know what the f*ck for
Got my whole city standin' waitin' for an encore
Better not give up, breathin' and hustlin'
Gotta keep fightin', breathin' and hustlin'
You're gonna make it, breathin' and hustlin'
If not, die tryin', breathin' and hustlin'
Better not give up, breathin' and hustlin'
Gotta keep fightin', breathin' and hustlin'
You're gonna make it, breathin' and hustlin'
If not, die tryin', breathin' and hustlin'
You gotta know when and when not and when to push harder
To get what you got, fire, wind, earth and water
So mote it be, homie only souls can see
Solomon, he ain't the only one that holds a key
I'm a bold emcee, meet a miracle mind in creation
With thoughts that travel and flow free like a Mason
I met God, we had a conversation
Face to face and ever since I stay straight laced in
Precious metals, jewels, chains, medallions
No doubt, unshakable faith that moves mountains
Inner mounts, inward and out
Worth large sum amounts, but then again who's countin'
Its in my nature to evolve and prosper
And know my higher Self like a Jamaican rasta
Me nah fake imposter, I'm a true revolutionary
With a weapon in mind for every single youth to carry
Better not give up, breathin' and hustlin'
Gotta keep fightin', breathin' and hustlin'
You're gonna make it, breathin' and hustlin'
If not, die tryin', breathin' and hustlin'
Better not give up, breathin' and hustlin'
Gotta keep fightin', breathin' and hustlin'
You're gonna make it, breathin' and hustlin'
If not, die tryin', breathin' and hustlin'
