[Intro]
Uh huh. (Aries Urban Mind State)
Yea, this one's for you my nigga, hold ya head
[Verse One]
Hard work beat talent when talent don't work hard
I put my faith in God I trust no broads
I'm gettin' high go to sleep just to see the stars
Chasing this money I just wanna get off that boulevard
That's why you hear my soul in each and every fuckin' bar
Visions of me shot cops kickin down my front door
A couple war wounds a few battle scars
But I'm still here livin' I gotta thank God
Never heard of defeat (Never)
I hustle each and everyday til the mission complete
I want that city life view while my family eat
Fast cars for the team no pity for weak check it
I'm gonna get it, damn right I'm gonna get it
Tired of goin to the bank they say my funds insufficient
Now it's God be my witness
Fuck the sky ain't no limits
Fuck these gimmicks I'm the realest
With this music make a difference c’mon
A couple war wounds (yea)
A few battle scars (scars)
But I'm still here living I gotta thank God
I stand tall like I'm muthafuckin 8'4
I pray hard I work harder (work harder)
A couple war wounds (wounds)
A few battle scars (scars)
But I'm still here living I gotta thank God
I stand tall like I'm muthafuckin 8'4 nigga
I work hard I play harder
[Verse Two]
Money money money
Can't buy happiness (money)
Bet I won't begging for change
On some hungry shit
Overdue payments
Plus my license was suspended
Back and forth to court
All these lawyer fees got me stressing
My nigga locked up, feels like I'm trapped up with him In the streets there ain't no peace
Only my mind knows freedom
I'm the beast from the East with tittes
And persistent, Tell these muthafuckin bitches don't bite the forbidden (hoe)
It was written, who feelin different
I got that hard work dedication
Come bare the witness come bare to witness
Bout my business I'm bout my business (I’m bout my money)
I can tell them a million times
Bet they never listen they never listen
It was hard comin' up and I'm livin' in the gutta
It was hard for me growin up without a mother
See I'm mad at the world this ain't some pain
I discovered, hope I see her again so I can tell her that I love her, I miss u mama
[Hook]
A couple war wounds (wound)
A few battle scars (scars)
But I'm still here living I gotta thank God
I stand tall like I'm muthafuckin 8'4 Nigga
I pray hard (yea) I work harder (yea)
A couple war wounds (wounds)
A few battle scars (scars)
But I'm still here living I gotta thank God (oh lord)
I stand tall like I'm muthafuckin 8'4 (uh huh)
I work hard (yea)
[Verse Three]
Puttin faith in friends
I'll never book you for another show again
That's what he said I’m standing there thinking
“Why I let the devil in ?”
I never trust a soul I took a chances wit you people Funny you still listening
I thought I lost you in the last sequel
We was never equal, I'll never diss my people
Not for fame or for change it wasn't part of the game (Eastside)
I ain't get a deal but BOF still bumpin heavy
In the same hood same block
Shit lookin' steady, petty, Fuck it
Where the money at (where the money, where it at)
I wanna see me ballin, doing show after show
I was damn near tourin' and the city never sleep
Only bustaz stay snorin'
Closing deals on my phone
Hush nigga money callin
I don't know where I'm going
Tell the truth I don't care, long as GOD is with me
My heart don't know no fear
Just keep feedin faith and these doubts stay starving, Counting blessings after blessings
In the land of broken hearts (Hold up)
[Hook]
Im kickin' couple war wounds (wounds)
A few battle scars (scars)
But I'm still here living I gotta thank God
I stand tall like I'm muthafuckin 8'4

A few battle scars (scars)
But I'm still here living I gotta thank God (oh Lord)
