Blood sweat and tears
Is what it took for me to be in the spotlight like a deer
Isolated from my peers, perfecting my craft
Is how I spent most of my years
Nights are aided with ice cold beers
With a pen and pad in the yo trynna overcome my fears
Nights grow longer, burdens get heavier
Weed gets stronger, grind gets steadier
Pockets get larger and beef gets pettier
So much back and forth man I feel like Roger Federer
But now the cold nights accompanied with better furs
But the grind ain't over, still waiting for the check to clear
It was the struggle that got me here
It was my hustle that put me in the latest gear
Now I'm starting to feel like Heaven's near
Cause whether on stage or in the club all I hear is cheers
Cheers
If I never hustled
How could I test my strength and develop my muscles?
How could I try to keep up with Jordan like Russell?
How could I hold the heavyweight belt if I never had to tussle?
Like Pac said, it's me against the world
But after the struggle, it's me against your girl
Cause when you're shining you get all the diamonds and pearls
But when you're broke, they just let their hair twirl
But I never took ish from no man
Came into this world swinging swords like Conan
Now I'm on TV, don't like it change the program
Stardom causing beef with my brothers call it bro-ham
Ballin now but I remember being the low man
Let me walk you through the hustle we can hold hands
Keep my business private, never showed hands
Plow through adverse conditions call me mister snowman
