The Struggle (bone Thugs-n-harmony) Songtext

I been locked out doors out in the cold
In the streets playing at the beats no place to go
Rappin like a dog trying to get on
Charge a nigga next to nothing for 16 bars
Y'all don't hear me though
Y'all don't feel me though
Y'all don't understand the intensity of my road
Theres a struggle struggle then survive
Theres a struggle struggle

[Layzie Bone]
[Verse I Interlude]
It's a struggle out here man
Tell 'em Petey it's real out here

[Verse I]
[Layzie Bone]
See a nigga from the G-H, E-T-T-O
Where my niggas slung dope in the snow fa sho
In the city that I'm from niggas go for broke This CLEVELAND nigga what'chu ain't know?
I'm in the concrete jungle we can do it we can rumble
Take it to the hood make your whole click crumble
All I ever see was heavy smoke in the air, they got me bustin off shots like I just don't care
In the hood like a motherfucker always had to struggle mayne
Always been a winner though I never knock the hustle game
Some of them niggas they'll never change
Bounce back with a hit like a nigga made of rubber mayne
Bad mothafucka dawg you don't really wanna tell a nigga he can get it if I gotta get up on it
If i got it i'ma flaunt it, i'ma make a nigga want it smack the hater in the face with a stack of them hundreds
All about the dolla bill, you don't wanna holla kill, been broke and I know how that feels
Still real in the field tryna get another mill' life is love and nigga that's for real

Bone Bone Bone Bone Bone Hey [x8]

I been locked out doors out in the cold
In the streets playing at the beats no place to go
Rappin like a dog trying to get on
Charge a nigga next to nothing for 16 bars
Y'all don't hear me though
Y'all don't feel me though
Y'all don't understand the intensity of my road
Theres a struggle struggle then survive
Theres a struggle struggle

[Verse II]
[Wish Bone]
Ima hit 'em with a hustle, I ain't him
On the block in the winter with whip, tims on, lights on, let's go
No No gotta give 'em what they came for, still need doe to fo'
Bet cha hood at quite like mine, step up and you will lay down
Let's see yours, I'm coming for mine, so pay now...or lay down
Hit 'em with a hurricane, im serious mayne glock cocked, you don't wanna play
No games, insane, everybody, everyday
In the midst of all the shit, better be good
If you spit some shit, nigga better be hood
Ima wreck this thug shit, speak this thug shit
Live this thug shit FUCK them other niggas!

Bone Bone Bone Bone Bone Hey [x8]

I been locked out doors out in the cold
In the streets playing at the beats no place to go
Rappin like a dog trying to get on
Charge a nigga next to nothing for 16 bars
Y'all don't hear me though
Y'all don't feel me though
Y'all don't understand the intensity of my road
Theres a struggle struggle then survive

[Verse III]
[Krayzie Bone]
Now let me tell you about a hustler stayin' above the water
I'm not even making my quota, but they know I'm hotter than florida
Niggas know I'ma sew it up like a suicide bom-ba, blow 'em up cause they just some soldiers
Nigga I done payed my dues, you don't really wanna walk in my shoes
You aint tryna get caught up in my blues it's like the News
Cause every different day it's a circle, but nigga anxious to bubble, we gotta huddle they dont hear me though
They don't know about our hard times, nigga 'til they saw mine then I bet they be like "oh wow?! you alive?"
Talk about a nigga homeless, man I put the less in the home, and in the coldest winters
But I dont wanna live a, life like this-a cause pretty soon I rather gotta up pipe nigga
If I don't come up on me some bread, cause I gotta lota demons runnin' through in my head, yeah
And I really bet i'm thinkin' never knowin that I'm going, and I'm runnin' through the snow because i'm hunting for a mutha fucker

Whatchu know about hardtimes?

Bone Bone Bone Bone Bone Hey [x8]

Y'all don't hear me though
Y'all don't feel me though
Y'all don't understand the intensity of my road
Theres a struggle struggle then survive
Theres a struggle struggle

[Verse IV]
[Bizzy Bone]
(And ready for the worlds war,
And stuck up in the mind
Out of the dark, and we talking to the lord;
No adultery callin' me, spoilin' me, swore
Swallow the pain; game that I could have never won
We rep it with the sights, see, why hang , why me?
Many want to fight me, beside me, then bite me,
Like me, love me, they shove me righteously
Only could be me, only could be me
Tired of me, vibe with me, slide with me, violently;
Up from the son, and we come
If we don't, we get it, bring the wings
no love for me, no drugs on me
Christ won with me, I keep the son with me
everything pimpin', enemies get singing..
green, 350?, AK, shotgun,
Double barrels, i say rock, son
