I'm from a place, where one area code covers the whole state
A bunch of crabs in the bucket trying to pull us down for nothing
Cause they're struggling and they think we're doing something
But we're in the same boat still hustling
Things go better when we work together
Like I ain't paid my dues man I've heard the boos
And I've heard the cheers
I've been doing this for countless years
The sacrifices I've made, I trade for countless tears
Now how the fuck I'm supposed to walk a straight line
With a knife in my back perpendicular to the spine
They sip wine in the skyscrapers
And think of ways to rap us
In front of our face, they smile but hate us
And I ain't all about paper but it's time to fold it up like Origami
Cause ain't nobody gonna pay these bills for me
I know we're hot to death like the Holocaust
But we still take the loss and it hurts
Cause every time I listen to the radio
I know for damn sure we're better than half these hoes
And it shows, at the shows you're standing like a mannequin
Panicking, get the jelly out your spine and be a man again boy

We're gonna hold it, never let it slip through our hands
And never let them get with the plan
Of changing for the better and watching time pass
Cause even when we're gone the beats and rhymes last
We're gonna hold it, never let it slip through our hands
And never let them get with the plan
Of changing for the better and watching time pass
Cause even when we're gone the beats and rhymes last

The only time their record drops and when their demo falls down
They talk, I hear it cause it's a small town
It's a small world with a lot of big problems
Lose the battle you'll be living like a saddle hitting bottom
But for now I'm picking cotton, shirts off the rack
Sweatshop laboring the shirt on my back, it's wack
Cause now I'm dressed in bad karma
Even though I'm popping collars and I'm passing marijuana to my homies
Every time I come back home
Another hyena wants me to throw 'um a bone
Throw 'um a loan, they go in their home
Put the blow to their nose and go in a zone
I guess that's just the life for some
But I'm a find dope beats and write to some
And I like to come into the booth and ignite the drum
Disrespect it and test it you might get done
I seen rappers fall like cliff divers
Now they're traffic cops trying to get drivers
On Labor Day weekend displaying their weakness
Hear the speakers, if anyone can say that they did then we can
That's what we intended and that what we planned
Since we were young and running wild throwing rocks at the klan

Everybody just hold on
Times got hard but we stay strong
Gotta, watch your back from the snakes and rats
The game makes me sick but I can't jump from the track
Everybody just hold on
Times got hard but we stay strong
Gotta, watch your back from the snakes and rats
The game makes me sick but I can't jump from the track
