[Intro: Lil Eazzyy]
(Banger)
I had to get it the—
I had to get it the hard way
Uh, I had to get it the hard way
I had to get it the hard way (Uh)
I had to get it the hard way (DJ on the beat, so it's a banger)
Uh, uh
Uh, I had to get it the hard way (Uh)

We got roaches up-up in the hallway (Uh)

I had to get it the— (Go)
I had to get it the hard way
I had to get it the— (Uh)

[Chorus: Lil Eazzyy]
I had to get it the hard way (The hard way)
Roaches inside of the hallway (The hallway)
Miss my brother, we'd pop out in broad day
Ain't no guidance, we came up the wrong way
Drug dealin' with them criminals (Criminals)
No, we ain't postin' subliminals (Uh)
We in that striker, we tryna get rid of you
Not finna lose, we gon' walk up and finish you (Bitch)
I had to get it the hard way (Hard way)
Roaches inside of the hallway (The hallway)
Miss my brother, we'd pop out in broad day
Ain't no guidance, we came up the wrong way
Drug dealin' with them criminals (Criminals)
No, we ain't postin' subliminals
We in that striker, we tryna get rid of you (We tryna get rid of you)
Not finna lose, we gon' walk up and finish you
[Verse 1: Lil Eazzyy]
Every night, mom whip a pot of that white rice (That white rice)
This shit ain't come overnight, this ain't Like Mike (This ain't Like Mike)
Bro said, "Do you got your pipe?" I'm like, "Damn right" (For sure)
Too high off them Percs, I don't feel right (Uh)
Shit, I ain't know what else to do
I know I ain't goin' to school
In the 'Raq, gotta stay with your tool
Or you gon' end up on the news
Now I'm in the stu' almost every day
There wasn't nothin' in my pocket, I made a way (I made a way)
Tryna put my OG in a better place
My pride is just somethin' you can't take away
No love in my heart, made it fade away
It's already too much I done gave away
You ain't talkin' no money, then stay away
Had to get my own route, I'ma pave a way
Now look at me (Look at me)
Promoters, they really start bookin' me (Uh)
Now look at me (Look at me, look at me)
Your bitch wanna fuck 'cause my jewelry (Yeah)
And I can go hop in that Track' right now (Skrrt)
Hit the pedal, that bitch started pullin' me (Skrrt, skrrt)
I think n***as mad that my gang this lit
That's too bad, I'm like, "N***a, why wouldn't we?" (Why wouldn't we?)
[Chorus: Lil Eazzyy & ShoeBox Baby]
I had to get it the hard way (The hard way)
Roaches inside of the hallway (The hallway)
Miss my brother, we'd pop out in broad day
Ain't no guidance, we came up the wrong way
Drug dealin' with them criminals (Criminals)
No, we ain't postin' subliminals (Uh)
We in that striker, we tryna get rid of you
Not finna lose, we gon' walk up and finish you (Bitch)
I had to get it the hard way (Hard way)
Roaches inside of the hallway (The hallway)
Miss my brother, we'd pop out in broad day
Ain't no guidance, we came up the wrong way
Drug dealin' with them criminals (Uh-huh, criminals)
No, we ain't postin' subliminals (Uh-huh, come on)
We in that striker, we tryna get rid of you (Yeah, we tryna get rid of you)
Not finna lose, we gon' walk up and finish you

[Verse 2: ShoeBox Baby]
I was just livin' in Parkway (Uh-huh)
Where them shorties'll spark in broad day (Baow)
It wasn't nothin' but piss in the hallways (Uh-huh)
I'm a lil' n***a like Gervonta (Yeah, Gervont')
In the Block, you be ready to shoot (Uh-huh)
Don't make 'em shoot at you (Damn, damn)
In my city, I'm top two (Damn, damn)
But I'm not number two (Come on)
Tired of seein' the middleman (Uh-huh)
I pray to God that I see George Zimmerman
I get them M's and M's like M&M (Damn)
I do a show, then I count all my dividends
She keep on playin' like bitch, I ain't been a man (Uh-huh)
If they outside, we spin and spin again (Spin)
I pop a Perc' and I feel like a gremlin (Uh)
He dissin' Jaydo, so you know we killin' him (Damn, damn)
I really had it the hard way
How the fuck did I make it to Broadway?
In my city, I'm big like Kanye
I'm a man, so she diggin' my feng shui (Uh-huh)
I was hungry, I ate my whole lunch tray (Damn, damn)
It ain't no food in the fridge (Damn, damn), so I gotta starve and wait until Monday (Come on)
I'm eatin' ice and rice on a Sunday (Uh-huh, it's Box)
[Chorus: Lil Eazzyy]
I had to get it the hard way (The hard way)
