Time for the fallen soldiers

Can't have a war without casualties
You know

For everybody goin' through the struggle

You know

Real shit everyday  everyday shit is real

I know how you feel  yeah  look

I been out here grindin' so long

But still I had to find my way
On my own
I could tell you what it beez like

I could tell you what it beez like

I'm a true hustler  all that I know

So I can make it anywhere that I go
I could tell you what it beez like
I could tell you what it beez like-like
Beez like
Straight from the hood
Got a get money fetish

Pocket full of green  nigga
Like a head of lettuce

Put the work in a bag
Make a yayo sandwich

Then we go and spread it
Through the hood like Manwich

One thing about it
We gon' get this bread
When you knew shit was real
When they found a rat dead
Right around the corner
Where us young niggas hustled at
Right by the stop sign
That's where they was bussin' at
When you come here with nothin'
Gotta learn how to provide

Carlo had a Benz 'fore
He was old enough to drive
Losin' 10  20 every night
Gamblin' ain't nothin'

And ya nigga got killed takin' up
For his cousins
When you knew shit was real
Drop outfit in the feds
Still 8 years and a nigga
Shot him dead
On the humbug
Left him slumped in his car
Everybody got a day
Don't matter who you are
I been out here grindin' so long

But still I had to find my way
On my own
I could tell you what it beez like
I could tell you what it beez like

I'm a true hustler  all that I know
So I can make it anywhere that I go
I could tell you what it beez like

I could tell you what it beez like-like
Beez like

Stove water  heat cold water
Knew I'd touch a bird
When I got my first quarter
Sell water to a well  nigga
Cold nights  cold hearts  tough love
That's what it be like in jail  nigga
Mama crying at my visit cause
She care for me
Daughter just had her period
Ain't there for her
Know how to have a girl
You know just gon' hold ya back
But the pussy so good
You keep goin' back
Hurt when ya main man turned rat

Make the whole la familia
Turn hot like that

Any city  any block
Any boulevard

I survive  no lie
I'm a ghetto boy
I could tell ya about
The dos and don'ts
I make it anywhere I go
So lose I won't
I can tell ya bout the hard time
When ya really need it
Been grindin' so long
Still had to call Jeezy
I been out here grindin' so long
But still I had to find my way
On my own
I could tell you what it beez like

I could tell you what it beez like

I'm a true hustler  all that I know
So I can make it anywhere that I go
I could tell you what it beez like

I could tell you what it beez like-like
Beez like
Straight from the bottom
Tryna make it to the top
What the gov'ment don't give you
Gotta get it from the block
Feel like a bad boy cause
This shit don't stop
Street so dirty
Need a muhf**kin' mop  uh oh

Lil homie  stay focused
Handle ya business
Don't talk to them niggas around you
Might be a witness
Don't tell the dishwasher
What you did with' ya dishes
Don't tell these snitchin' niggas
What you did with' ya riches

Niggas is hopin' they see Christmas
But  if we just happen to don't
We hope you miss us
Santa raised all seven them kids
Didn't miss a meal
She work them fingers
Right to the bone
Didn't miss a bill
Niggas 649  let's make a deal
See  one thing about
Countin' this money
It make ya feel
See  I used to get 'em right
From the source
Got 'em direct
The same nigga that had a connect
He in the set
I been out here grindin' so long
But still I had to find my way
On my own
I could tell you what it beez like
I could tell you what it beez like

I'm a true hustler  all that I know
So I can make it anywhere that I go
I could tell you what it beez like
I could tell you what it beez like-like
