LIL GEEZY & HIGHTYDE
Life's a struggle when you hustle trying to get your cake right
Pull a muscle, you're in trouble, put on the brake light
Be knowledgeable and logical when something ain't right
before you pay the cost to be a boss
make sure your game's tight

LIL GEEZY
Lil' homie, try to hear the words I'm saying
you ain't a kid no more, so you need to stop playing
going for the big score's a good way to be laying
dead in the streets, by bullets that creep when you spray them
Boy, stuck in a cell, well, the way I feel
is if you gon' make it, you gon' have to learn to deal with
the dumbness, dumbness
people running around bumping their dumb lips, the real kids
but you're better than that, you're better than them
poverty is not an option, so you're playing to win
but you're playing with sin
selling drugs for money and other things
is like telling Satan; all bet's in
you don't need it, lil' homie, naw, that's bad business
a good life wasted, can I get a witness?
so much potential with a lack of direction
and you need angels looking over you for protection, chea

HIGHTYDE
Lil' homie, listen as I spit these words
you're living life thinking things could get worse
and when they do get worse
you turn to drugs, by selling them in the streets
and you don't even have life insurance, boy
you've been slanging K's, praising gang-banging
hanging out with the chain-gang, doing the same thing and then
like Geezy said, that's bad business
life is a struggle, take it as it is
you're better than them, you're better than that
everybody was betting you never could rap
look at yourself, you're making a name, right?
all on your own, so make sure your game's tight
and if it ain't, get back on the train, like
selling cocaine, ain't part of your plan, aight?
know what I'm saying? You're growing today
so gather up your insecurities and throw em away cause
