Im knocking on the door mad aggressive sound like police knocks
2 years prior was helping employees restock
Got around some potheads seen they needed a detox
When it was cold out was walking to keep my feet hot
Wintertime shootouts hear bullets coming from each block
Girls hit my line they asking me if i eat box
I aint temporary im here for the longevity
Some of yall got the right mindstate but the wrong destiny
I aint make it yet i aint even a hood celebrity
But guarantee this grind from a struggle gon build my legacy
We at a round table we waiting to see who next to be
Draft night 1-60 no one selected me
Better lock ya doors we all coming in desperate need
To make it hard for you like everyone who took ecstasy
I aint gotta talk about the pain and the struggle
I been there n done that dont gotta make it a double
See i realized that my talent in this game is my hustle
Its nothing worse than when you got it n they taking it from you
Faking a chuckle i put my mask on then gut em
Make my life different rather have more than nothing
Got hittas who keep a stick hacksaw jim duggan
No graduation day we knock ya cap off when rushing
Im stretchin targets my music about to stress the market
Im fly and i dont gotta try imma be fresh regardless
No troublemaker but try me i make my effort heartless
Dont start the issue but finishing off whatevers started
They try to lock up my brother when they was pressing charges
His kids is feeling like they was bouta be left departed
I write about this cuz im the one who would stress the hardest
I give you pieces of my life show i aint just a artist
It feel good when you coming up i was down n out
Overslept on degraded n even counted out
Till i hit my roundabout im tryna make around about
86 million a second so time could balance out
Writing hits is the only way i could face the rage
You see it come out whenever i get to take the stage
My Homies stressing they hungry tryna erase the phrase
These is coming from stomachs that havent ate in days
They down to ride need that money they come n take ya raise
Letting rounds go till ya body just cant embrace the pain
Down for whatever we doing it just to make a name
Then tell em dont hate the player you gotta hate the game
Haters zoning me out so i had to make a lane
By penetratin music inside ya ears till it make ya brain
Bouta change the environment imma take the blame
I cant relate to these new rappers it aint the same

They're willing to shoot at you until your body can no longer handle the pain
Down for whatever we doing it just to make a name
We're willing to do anything to become famous
Then tell em dont hate the player you gotta hate the game
And then we tell others not to blame us, but to blame the system we're working within
Haters zoning me out so i had to make a lane
People who don't like me are getting in my way, so I had to pave my own path
By penetratin music inside ya ears till it make ya brain
By creating music that resonates with you until it becomes ingrained in your mind
Bouta change the environment imma take the blame
I'm about to change the environment and I'm willing to take responsibility for it
I cant relate to these new rappers it aint the same
I can't connect with these new rappers because things have changed too much

@Darsh998
I was so hardheaded at first
My grandma didn't even believe in me
I kept goin' though
All I can say is I told you
Jewelry at the bank now in the vault
You should've never doubted me
I'ma work 'til my last breath
I'ma hustle 'til my last breath
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Yeah you should've never doubted me
The pain and the struggle followed me
My daddy never been there, bothered me
And these cold streets made a man of me
Know a time, it'll come, they doubt me
Had to keep them OGs 'round me
Keep a young, young homie grounded
You never know where your motivation'll come from
We do the most for these broads and pop Chandon
They try to push you aside, you gotta fight some
I had it on the dot and now we ride guns
I want that number one spot, I'm like icon
I got that beast in my eyes, I'm like Tyson
With my heart and my drive, I know I'm righteous
Keep some ice on me, Rocky, Rocky like Balboa
Once you win, win, win you gon' want more
Set a trend, trend, trend, need an encore
I was down on my last when I found myself
I'll be a fighter 'til the end, 'til my last breath
[Hook]
I got angels all around me, yeah, yeah
I got love all around me, yeah, yeah
I'll be a fighter 'til the end, 'til my last breath
I'ma hustle 'til my last breath
I got angels all around me, yeah, yeah
I got love all around me, yeah, yeah
I'll be a fighter 'til the end, 'til my last breath
I'ma hustle 'til my last breath
[Verse 2]
I came from them quarter waters
Every nigga in my gang unemployed
You fuckin' 'round, you must want a gang war
I got ol' girl, then I transport her
Trappin' is a habit, I got Xans on me
I'm hotter than a flame, keep the fan on me
Catch me whippin', I'm Hussein with them bands on me
I'ma kill the competition and I'm playin' for keeps
You see water drippin' off me then catch it
I turned nothin' into somethin', now I'm livin'
You neglected me, you know you shouldn't have did that
They was countin' me out, you know you shouldn't have did that
You didn't recognize my drive, shouldn't have did that
Now I'm flyin' every day, I won't get back
I just wanna be the champ for the misfits
And the ones that would say I couldn't do it
[Hook]
I got angels all around me, yeah, yeah
I got love all around me, yeah, yeah
I'll be a fighter 'til the end, 'til my last breath
I'ma hustle 'til my last breath
I got angels all around me, yeah, yeah
I got love all around me, yeah, yeah
I'll be a fighter 'til the end, 'til my last breath
I'ma hustle 'til my last breath
[Bridge]
Who knew I would take it to a whole 'nother level
Who knew I've been racin' with a whole 'nother rebel
Shawty wasn't checkin' for me, mama wasn't checkin' for me
I hustle every day just so I can spend a check on you
You my dawg 'til the end, I got so much respect for you
I watched you give up on me, but I never lost faith, did I?
You didn't ever hold me down, then I bought a new safe, didn't I?
Paper plates flushin' in that Wraith, didn't I?
I'm built with a new reputation
Blood, sweat and tears are my new foundation
Obama on my main line, I could run the nation
[Hook]
I got angels all around me, yeah, yeah
I got love all around me, yeah, yeah
I'll be a fighter 'til the end, 'til my last breath
I'ma hustle 'til my last breath
I got angels all around me, yeah, yeah
I got love all around me, yeah, yeah
I'll be a fighter 'til the end, 'til my last breath
I'ma hustle 'til my last breath
