My granddaddy was a hustla
On a dirt road
Him and his brother
Stayed sharper than a mother fucker
The nigga stayed on the corner
Stacy adams never ?
So that explains why my daddy and me
I mean the apple don't fall too far from the tree
I was thirteen mad as hell
Thinkin why cant we live up in beverly hills
Wondered why all my homies in the hood were killed
Thinkin why I got a 9 in my pocket for real
Its gotta be a better life than this
I mean kids shouldnt have to go through this shit
I mean this is california land of the free
But every city in america its plain to see
My damn people aint gettin they due
Thats the reason we do what we gotta do
This is for the homies in the hood
All the single mamas its all good
All yall soldiers on the front line
Doin what you got to do to get by
This is the struggle it don't stop
This ones for martin malcom and tupac
No matter how hard they try cant stop us
We still gonna get by mother fucker
I aint in love with the situation
But ima get by and ima get mine
And my mamas and my daddys and my whole line
And until shasha sittin on a gold mine
Ima play my position get up in the middle
Sneak and attack this doggy dogg shit here
A whole lot of folks got to eat here
Grandmama had 24 kids and thats real
Cause I plan to build a boys club or something
Where fathers can take their sons on weekends
Cause thats what they need
I don't wanna see them in these streets
They sharks out here and they eatin
I know I been gone for a minute but I'm back
Just to put the west coast back on track
I gangsta represent it till the day that I die
And I didnt tell a lie
Still gonna get by
This is for the homies in the hood
All the single mamas its all good
All yall soldiers on the front line
Doin what you got to do to get by
This is the struggle it don't stop
This ones for martin malcom and tupac
No matter how hard they try cant stop us
We still gonna get by mother fucker
Baby girl I know you trying to do it by yourself
And aint nobody there to help you
Seem like nobody cares
For beautiful you
Baby boy tryin to get up out the game now
But damn its so much pressure
? up in the sky
Let's keep it on ?
This is for the homies in the hood
All the single mamas its all good
All yall soldiers on the front line
Doin what you got to do to get by
This is the struggle it don't stop
This ones for martin malcom and tupac
No matter how hard they try cant stop us
We still gonna get by mother fucker
This is for the homies in the hood
All the single mamas its all good
All yall soldiers on the front line
Doin what you got to do to get by
This is the struggle it don't stop
This ones for martin malcom and tupac
No matter how hard they try cant stop us
We still gonna get by mother fucker
This is for the homies in the hood
All the single mamas its all good
All yall soldiers on the front line
Doin what you got to do to get by
This is the struggle it don't stop
This ones for martin malcom and tupac
No matter how hard they try cant stop us
We still gonna get by mother fucker
