Big Scoob, Big Scoob feat. Krizz Kaliko, 8Ball & MJG - Only Know Hard

Текст песни

You know man, you watchin TV, I see what’s poppin
These dance songs
Shaking and moving, and rapping about this and that
But all I know is hard, man
I gotta do me, you know what I mean?
I’m tryna uplift the gutter with my music
I don’t know no dance moves
I’m tryna paint a picture, delivered a little different
Hoping you can feel it, picture just how I’m living
It ain’t all bad, that’s why I’m loving the hood
It ain’t all sad, man, there’s plenty stories of good
On these corners of corners, they done brought up a man
Raised my mama, help my family, I do all that I can
So it seems gutter dreams rest in piece on the block
Still I skeme and I dream to make my way to the top
I’ll admit I’m in the middle, with these words that I heard
Industry, it’s gotta be that bullshit they surve
Ain’t no romancing, no dancing, just the pictures of life
On this corner where I’m grinding, also tought me to fight
So Imma fight, and Imma scrap, get my foot in the door
Bang the walls with my dogs, till they open some more
Spit it raw, give my vision of how I’m living this life
I can’t change it, rearange it, no matter the price
I only know hard
That’s all I see at night, that’s the way I live
I only know hard
City streets
I only know hard
And it’s so hard in the hood, tryna be a kid
10 toes down, bad motherfucker
Mama was a housekeeper, daddy was a hustler
House full of rats, roaches in my serial
Chearch on Sundays, praying for a mearical
Funny when I think back, when I was a youngster
then we got crunk
15, learned how to cook a little Crack up
Coughed a little weed, learned how to stuff a little sack up
Wrote my first rhyme right about the same time
My young mind fell in love with them storylines
I used to listen to Marvin, and pray that I
Could touch people like him, when I seen him write
Soul music, get into your soul music
Discover it when you young, keep it to your old music
Don’t you judge your man and what shoes he in
Judge your man by what shoes he been
I only know hard
That’s all I see at night, that’s the way I live
I only know hard
City streets
I only know hard
And it’s so hard in the hood, tryna be a kid
I only know hard
I’m battered, broozed and scarred
Hard life to move, I can Tom Crues the part
I keep it hard, I got so much heart
I’m a hard head, shit, I eat my doughnuts hard
You don’t wanna start, I keep a grown man hard card
So I’m coolin in any city, any hard part
In the hood, man, I’m harder than a train rail
Look in my eyes, tell the truth, you can’t tell
I don’t understand Kushing or a safe mat
Everytime I stumbled, I just fell down on my face flat
Got back up, with my head straight up to the sky
Oh my, I’m a stand up guy
I’m pimp tight MJ, and I’m fly
Some real good sticky, and I’m real high
Imma take my time, I’m a plan out guy
And I don’t snitch, bitch, I’m a man bout mine
I only know hard
That’s all I see at night, that’s the way I live
I only know hard
City streets
I only know hard
And it’s so hard in the hood, tryna be a kid
