[Hook - 2x]
 You see I am what I am, and it is what it is
 You'd feel how I feel, if you been where I been
 Live what I live, see what I see
 So get out my ear, and just let me be


[Paul Wall]
 I'm a survivor of the struggle, I lived life hard
 Single mama with half a job, I was raised by God
 No dad, the only role model I had
 Was a ounce of that white powder, in a Ziplock bag
 I don't brag about the struggles, I endured as a child
 You don't know the pain I went through, to create this smile
 I got one life to live, know I'm tal'n bout
 So I enjoy it, cause I earned everything that I got
 They hate what I got, I hear em with they cape talk
 They thinking that my life, was a cake walk
 I'm a man of principles, I live by my word
 So it's obsurred, when I hear sour words
 They gon get what they deserve, but I don't wish no harm
 What goes around comes around, so partna you been warned
 In the midst of all the trouble, I still remain calm
 Cause sunny days, will follow the storm man, just let me be

[Poppy]
 Somebody questioned, if I got the right to recite what I spit
 Cause I've never been indicted, or divided a brick
 But my life is grit, all types of crisis and shit
 I decided to risk it all, to try to slide in the mix
 And get what I can get, see I'm fighting negative bars
 I knew it wouldn't be easy, but no one said it be hard
 As it is, I mean the evil in the heart of these men
 Got me wondering, if I'll ever see the reward
 At the end of the road, it's kind of hard to remember your goals
 When you grow where, not many live to get old
 I played the cards that I was given, and never listen to those
 Who think different, cause they inner soul is bitter and cold
 I seen death, and folk get destroyed by do'
 Nevertheless I'm blessed, so your boy got hope
 I show love, to get it is a beautiful feeling
 If you hate me, then blow a dick cause it's a mutual feeling


[Hook - 2x]


[Slim Thug]
 All outsiders looking in, think they know where I been
 Trying to be my friend, cause of the position I'm in
 They know Slim Thug a hustler, that's destined to win
 So I guess they figured, they can hold my cotail in
 But I ain't the type to play that roll, and sell a nigga gold
 Pretend it's all cool, when I know you a hoe
 Cause you'll do it again, if you done it befo'
 It's just a matter of time, 'fore you do it some mo'
 I done witnessed all type, of snake niggaz and hoes
 From my family to my friends, to these bitches I know
 It'll surprise you, how much a lil' change bring change
 You get a couple dollas, and people ain't the same
 They quick to holla at you capping now, since you rapping now
 See them the type of folks, you need to be packing round
 Cause first time to miss em, when you passing a blunt
 They plotting up on you, trying to pull em a stunt
