[Intro: 8Ball]
I know
Know it's been hard
Bein' low
Know it's been hard
(DTdaKidd)
(Beat those drums)
I know
Know it's been hard
Bein' low
Know it's been hard
Yeah

[Verse 1: 8Ball]
I was brought up in the jungle, made me act like an animal
Read a couple books, made me wanna be a radical
Young n***a sittin' on the porch in the summertime
Cup of ice water, soakin' up the sunshine
Lil' puppy in a rush to be a big dog
Watchin' unc' 'nem drink beer and shit talk
Sunday morning, mama makin' sure I go to church
Eatin' cereal and ironin' my church shirt
Come home to the smell of Sunday dinner in the air
Change clothes, make a play, eat, and take a nap
Get up, hit the streets, walk the hood with my partnеr 'nem
Tried to sell dopе, but the music told me follow him
Took me down a path no one in my family ever seen
Ran with the devil 'fore I knew it was a better me
Seen things that my grandpop would never see
Still got a lot of things that I wanna be
[Interlude: Don Trip]
I know
Know it's been hard
Bein' low
Know it's been hard
Yeah

[Verse 2: Don Trip]
Daylight, probably gon' catch me up again
The streets a gamble, I hope I got a lucky hand
I'm from the bottom, we grindin' to gain an upper hand
And every scar I suffered gave me tougher skin
Everything to gain, nothin' to lose
We got too much pride to call in the troops
We come from two different walks in life
You probably never witnessed a homicide in your life
Wish I could say the same, but I can't and I can't complain
The hustle run in my family, I gotta break the chain
I'm on a mission, I gotta go and get it
I promised a better life for my babies, I'm so committed
I got a job to do, I put in overtime
Soon as I make it happen, I go with it one more time
Here I stand with my story to tell
But I'm sure you got a story as well
Long live Pif
[Outro]
I know
Know it's been hard
Bein' low
Know it's been hard
