[Too $hort]
Yeah you know, we always tryin to get this money, that`s what we do
It ain`t easy.. but I`m tellin you, it ain`t hard either
All you gotta do is keep hustlin man, don`t ever give up
I don`t care what it is, handle yo` biz
Forget about the woulda, coulda, and if I did`s
Cause that`s just the past, you know it never lasts
And you know how time flies by so fast
Look at rap music, they said it was a fad
But now it`s takin over, and I`m so glad
Cause I never stopped rappin, but that`s what I do
If you quit yo` thang, you might never find the truth
I had choices in life, I coulda did somethin else
I did what I wanted to, I did it for myself
Now whatcha gon` do with yo` life
People try to tell you what to do, it`s yo` life
You better make the most of it, live to the fullest
Think positive and don`t dwell on the BULLSHIT
I can`t tell you no better
If you thinkin `bout quittin, don`t ever
[Chorus: Too $hort]
Don`t ever give up, I know it ain`t workin
It`s been a long time, you never stop tryin
But you can`t quit, you gotta keep goin
You already knowin, you can`t give up
Don`t ever give up, give it all you got
It only gets better, never say never
You know you can`t quit, you gotta keep goin
You already knowin, you can`t give up, you just cain`t!
[Too $hort]
Comin up is hard, givin up is easy
You always get the game from your homey Too Sheezy
I keep it so real, never spit it false
I hope you make it big and if you ever fall off
Remember these words, it`s only what you make it
Anything is possible you want it better take it
I ain`t talkin `bout stealin, felonies`ll ruin it
Stupid all I`m talkin `bout is takin opportunities
Doors open up and when you get another chance
Either hold up the wall, or get out there and dance
It`s on you, do what you wanna do
You know why everybody always punkin you
Talkin shit they know you`re bluffin, won`t do nothin
Sittin on the shelf like Stove Top Stuffin
I know you had enough and want to call it quits
Believe me, this ain`t it
[Chorus]
[Too $hort]
Isn`t hard to see, use your eyes
It`s time to tell the truth, cause we through witcha lies
Utilize all your steppin stones, gotta be prepared
Sittin `round dreamin how you bout to be a player
The years and the time fly, you ain`t even workin
Went by overnight you went from 18 to 30
Nothin goin on, never set a goal
Dreams can`t come true, and now you gettin old
You start to represent, everything you hate
But don`t give up, cause it`s never too late
All you need is a plan, a purpose and a motto
And quit livin life like you `bout to hit the lotto
Get rich on your own, buy a new home
Keep your real friends, leave them haters alone
I see you when you get there, rollin to the bank
I know you cain`t let go, I know you cain`t
[Chorus] (minus first "don`t")
[Too $hort]
Nah we can`t give up, gotta keep hustlin for life baby
It`s hard on the black man, tryin to get my stack together y`know?
Big thangs..
