[Hook: Mike Smith]
What I've learned, from this thug life I'm livin', is it's a cold, cold world
I know at times it gets to ya
Gotta keep pushin', gotta keep pushin'
Gotta keep pushin', gotta keep pushin'
Gotta keep pushin', you gotta keep pushin'
And at any given moment you can end up with your back on the wall
I know at times it gets to ya
Gotta keep (Pushin'), you gotta keep (Pushin')
You know you gotta keep (Pushin'), you gotta keep (Pushin')
You know you gotta keep (Pushin'), you gotta keep pushin'

[Verse 1: Sheek Louch]
Uh, yeah, 'cause I push, I push
And that money a drop, and them bottles a pop
And I'm at the bar, with my big cigar
With my shades and hoody on, I'm a superstar
With my hands up high, and I'm extra high
And she extra fly, tell ya friends goodbye
Yeah, westside doin' it, can only fit two in it
The night is good, so don't ruin it
We gon' make it, or we gon' take it
Respect is everything, so please don't break it
If you still in the hood and ya rent is due
I wrote this song for you, for you
[Hook: Mike Smith]
What I've learned, from this thug life I'm livin', is it's a cold, cold world
I know at times it gets to ya
Gotta keep pushin', gotta keep pushin'
Gotta keep pushin', gotta keep pushin'
Gotta keep pushin', you gotta keep pushin'
And at any given moment you can end up with your back on the wall
I know at times it gets to ya
Gotta keep (Pushin'), you gotta keep (Pushin')
You know you gotta keep (Pushin'), you gotta keep (Pushin')
You know you gotta keep (Pushin'), you gotta keep pushin'

[Verse 2: Sheek Louch]
I just party and BS like B.I. said
Old school, keep a hundred stacks under the bed
With the time red six hundred, call it a sled
Little yak, little greenery to clear my head
But you gotta keep pushin', you gotta keep whippin'
The landlord callin', the baby sitter is flippin'
You ready to drop everything, you think about skippin'
But you strong and you gon' make it all good
Back to the wall and you gon' keep it all hood
Put ya drinks up, five cent cups
Ace of spades whatever, I don't give a, give a
If ya rent's due I wrote this song for you, for you
[Hook: Mike Smith]
What I've learned, from this thug life I'm livin', is it's a cold, cold world
I know at times it gets to ya
Gotta keep pushin', gotta keep pushin'
Gotta keep pushin', gotta keep pushin'
Gotta keep pushin', you gotta keep pushin'
And at any given moment you can end up with your back on the wall
I know at times it gets to ya
Gotta keep (Pushin'), you gotta keep (Pushin')
You know you gotta keep (Pushin'), you gotta keep (Pushin')
You know you gotta keep (Pushin'), you gotta keep pushin'

[Verse 3: Sheek Louch]
Uh, pay day's here, even though there's nothing left
The club's packed, everybody fresh to death
New swag, I'm confident that you can bag her
Gas in the tank, can I buy you a drink?
The music all loud, she dancin' all wild
Can't tell me shorty ain't the hottest in the crowd

[Hook: Mike Smith]
What I've learned, from this thug life I'm livin', is it's a cold, cold world

And at any given moment you can end up with your back on the wall
I know at times it gets to ya
Gotta keep (Pushin'), you gotta keep (Pushin')
You know you gotta keep (Pushin'), you gotta keep (Pushin')
You know you gotta keep (Pushin'), you gotta keep pushin'
