Hardway

Niggas don't know what I've been through, I couldn't, and I never complained once

You heard

I got up off my ass and got to it

I got a family, nigga

I never let my son felt nothing that I went through

I never let my lady felt nothing I went through

My moms never felt nothing I went through

Yeah, well, yeah, we not buying Chanel bags for a couple months

But boy, when it's back poppin, it's Chanel everyday if you want

You heard? I'm a hustler, and that's how the game go

I remember I was posted in them hallways

Tryna get my bread right the hard way

They like, how you get them bands, nigga, the hard way

If it's up then it's stuck, ain't no parlay

I was really touchin' money in them hallways

Always had it hard, so I got it the hard way

Take care of mines, give a fuck what they all say

I was really gettin' money in them hallways

Tryna get my bread right the hard way

They like, how you get them bands, nigga, the hard way

If it's up then it's stuck, ain't no parlay

I was really touchin' money in them hallways

Always had it hard, so I got it the hard way

I take care of mines, give a fuck what they all say

Tryna get my bread right the hard way

If they really want smoke, ain't no parlay

You can catch me parkside, that's the parkway

Let the money do the talkin, give a fuck what they all say

I thought they was really dogs, but they was all snakes

See, I'm posted with them lions, and I'm swimmin' with them sharks

Catch me at the park, afternoon or after dark

Niggas wanting smoke, then them niggas gettin' sparked

Niggas wanna squabble

Then them niggas gettin parked like valet

I want all my diamonds just to dance like ballet

For them times I was starvin' and them niggas had steaks

Stomach, it's been rumblin' while they eatin' in my face

But nah, it's okay, cause I ain't never want no handouts

I'm never finna stand down, nigga, I'm finna stand out

No surrender, no retreat when I bring my strap out
