(Ay ya) I'm jz james holla at me man

Now have you ever felt the pain
When your ignored by your fam
Middle child young growl
But nobody understands
Everydays just passing by
Skipping school
Changing routes
To bigger picture
For the future
But I'm trying to paint it now
Hundred child hood friends
Most of them graduated
And I hate it
But you only living once
So go and take it
Hold the moment
Going on it
Take control of your emotions
Keep the soul and keep the faith
Fix the pieces that were broken
Still remembering that day we he left out that door
Single mom
Three kids
And still no child support
I raised independent
But myself is always testing me
Watch my back
And the laws always stressing me
I gotta eat
Survive the streets with intentions
The game is full of fakes
Too many seek attention
God is my protection
No justices in my section
My turf this isn't perfection
And it's just another lesson to be learned

It's an every day struggle to survive
And it's life trying to do me
I gotta work hard for what I want
It all has a price
It dun come for free
Oh~
You know in every situation
Money is a mind's motivation
I'm running out of time
Stay on the grind
Hustling down on these streets
{Gotta stay on that grind-yeah}
And we hustle like everyday,
All day, everyday, all day
I'm growing up, he should be proud that I took the right route
The things that motivate my mind
Never took a time out {I'm still here}
You gotta understand money is the mind's motivation {yessire}
And it could save lives but it drives it to hatred {uh huh}
It's pretty basic,
It's there for the making
It's there so we save it
But the greed over takes it
I ain't trying to be hard {na}
I make music for the cause and the struggle that I live {che}
You know it's coming from the heart {for real}
I stand alone
No one understands half the stress
Now they're trying to hide BOMB
But the band wagon left
We never planned to regret
Never demand my respect {na}
I came there and take it
Every chance that I get {for real}

Every mistakes that I made
Had made me a man {che-yeah}
There's no looking back
And I'm taking my chance {c'mon}
I got dreams to persue and a blue print to do it
My story is cold and my music influence

It's an every day struggle to survive
And it's life trying to do me
I gotta work hard for what I want
It all has a price
It dun come for free
Oh~
You know in every situation
Money is a mind's motivation
I'm running out of time
Stay on the grind
Hustling down on these streets
{Gotta stay on that grind-yeah~}
And we hustle like everyday,
All day, everyday, all day

It's an every day struggle to survive
And it's life trying to do me
I gotta work hard for what I want
It all has a price
It dun come for free
Oh~
You know in every situation
Money is a mind's motivation
I'm running out of time
Stay on the grind
Hustling down on these streets
