[Intro: Y.K.C.] Made me think smarter Made me go harder Every time
[Chorus: Y.K.C.] The slums made me think smarter The struggle made me go harder Every time, every time, every time The slums made me think smarter The struggle made me go harder Every time, every time, every time
[Verse 1: Omelly] It's two thousand worth of crack, a hundred dogs in my sack I wasn't grindin' on the block, I got it all from the jack Older brother, he was Truman, I just followed his tracks At the age of 18, I got booked for two gats Did my two years, came home, had two kids Out here on a mission, barely had a place to live I'm really bustin' beer from all the shit that I did Everything I got, I hustled for, I never had a gig No court case 'cept the coke case, that's how I learned my lesson These niggas tellin', how the fuck we gon' respect 'em? They gave my dawg a life sentence, made me think smarter It's time to go harder for my son and my daughter
[Chorus: Y.K.C.] The slums made me think smarter The struggle made me go harder Every time, every time, every time The slums made me think smarter The struggle made me go harder Every time, every time, every time
[Verse 2: Dave East] Flipped a couple dimes, started this hustle off a quarter back Before Ubers, was callin' cabs, you good, just don't take off your mask Couple home invasions, I'm glad nobody was home, though Homicide just waitin' Nina came with me, she got that chrome glow (Nine) Ninety-nine point nine percent of these niggas is bozos (Clowns) Rap slow up, keep a plug close, get back that coke flow A chokehold, block under the armpit, never tarnished Chucks and Dickies, put my all in, now double C's on these garments Performin' is my callin', early shifts, I worked the mornings Body itchin', Perc dippin', deepest talks with alcoholics Stand for Allah, hope this prayer work Proud for what? In pain, I'm never say it hurt I'm grimy, slimy, blind him on his way to work
[Chorus: Y.K.C.] The slums made me think smarter The struggle made me go harder Every time, every time, every time The slums made me think smarter The struggle made me go harder Every time, every time, every timeTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
