Lyrics

[Verse 1] Tryin' to survive in this world is gettin' hectic as hell Every time I turn my back my homie's goin' to jail Tryin' make some ends just to pay some bills Tryin' to keep the family feed, tryin' to keep 'em chill Straight hustlin', no bussin', in God we Trust 'n' Moms still fussin' How I'm comin' up with so much green And what's that hangin' from the waist to your hip It's my 9 gotta stay strapped at all times never know when a fool want to trip behind mine Cause it's real in this world of '95 I'm tryin' to get paid, I'm tryin' to survive [Hook] x2 When I'm rollin' with the Botany Boys We're comin' with a lot of noise Survivin' the game mane It's all about making millions mane [Verse 2] Sittin' back thinkin' about the days of my life Smokin' that weed, sellin' that cheese tryin to get it right Things was lookin' good things was looking bad Tryin to get the things in my life I never had Like a Jag, a Benz, or maybe even a Beamer When I was young I had dreams of bein' a Fullback or a linebacker instead I pulled gats Call me a nine-packer 'cause I'm black And them haters want to act and jack Cause I know how to stack A dollar bill In this game of survival you gotta kill Or be dead on arrival by the steel You gotta survive [Hook x2] [Verse 3] Feds steady bustin' tryin' test the heat Nigga's steady hustlin' tryin' to get on his feet As they swooped through took my loot Repossessed my coup Dope sniffed out by they fleet packin' boots So I kick back chill on the drug smuggle So ran records snuggle tryin' make my ends double As I struggle Laws steady in my face a misdemeanor case got me back in that paper Times are hard gettin' barred off the streets Open my eyes and realize the agony of defeat If I win or lose it's the game it's the game I choose Pumpin' 9 doin' my time payin' my dues [Verse 4] If you hoes didn' know I'm tryin' to survive the best way I can Grew up without my dad and still became a man Skippin' school catch me bailin' out the back door So me and pap-pap stayin' at the back store[?] Introduced to the game now things changed Daddy want to come around since I'm sellin' 'caine Too late for that father figure my nuts got bigga Plus I'm a stand up nigga Makin' stands all night until the laws raid Anything to help mom get the bills paid So to the Lord I pray to keep me alive Please help a young G, I'm tryin' to survive [Hook x2] [Bridge] Now when you see me in the streets just hangin' Me and the fellas just dankin' We're tryin' to survive mane It's all about makin' millions mane When you see me and the homies rollin' Just give us some dab 'cause you know we're holdin' Just tryin' to survive mane It's all about keepin' our millions mane [Hook x2]
