You can only reach it if you try
You can only reach it with the, with the, with the, with the
It's Nazzy
You can only reach it if you try
You can only reach it with the hard knocks of life
You can only reach it, just gotta believe it
Dreams and aspirations, goals and achieving
If you try
In my city, you gotta grow up fast
You go from being a little boy to being a man
You either go to school, trap, to provide for the fam
Not knowing what's right or wrong, so you gotta do what you can
Father figure to your siblings, cause you ain't have a dad
You wanna make your mama smile and make your family laugh
Instead of asking for handouts sitting down on your ass
Thinking like what's the easiest way, try to come up with cash
I grew up in the hard knocks where niggas promote violence
Shots fired, mama crying, the hood is only silence
And I feel some type of way, I'm the only one with a conscience
I turn on the news every day just to see somebody dying
The streets is really changing, I swear it's getting dangerous
You tell that boy not to cry, that man gone come out here painless
Money and bitches on his mind, that's why he not aiming
The bodies dropping and I'm not the one to blame
So tell me congratulations
Money don't change people, it make them who they really are
Cause without the money, what would people possibly really do
I just wanna show you people that I am a f*cking star
And I'ma make it, just me, my family, my hood and my crew
You can only reach it if you try
You can only reach it with the hard knocks of life
You can only reach it, just gotta believe it
Dreams and aspirations, goals and achieving
If you try
Ramot
In this lifetime I had it hard, got put to the test
With my life, had my back up against the wall
Still posted it up in the hood, all my niggas was breaking laws
We was dodging the drug charge In my hood you had to stand tall, yeah
I just wanna make it with the bars, yeah
Take care of the fam, they don't wanna see me shot dead
They ain't giving wounded shots, they aiming for heads
Gotta be careful, you can lose your life anywhere
If you don't try, then you dying yourself
I can't see myself begging niggas, that's like crying for help
Ain't gon' have no advice for me when them times get tough
Gotta grind all out the hustle, I ain't looking for luck
Like f*ck it
You can only reach it if you try
You can only reach it with the hard knocks of life
You can only reach it, just gotta believe it
Dreams and aspirations, goals and achieving
If you try
All I ever wanted was to make a f*cking difference
People said that I was gifted, just rap about what you living
Used to sleep right on the floor, just staring up at the ceiling
Thinking, man, I gotta get it, if you with it, it's time to get it, yeah
People say they love me, they liking the way I flow
It didn't happen overnight, I had to grind right at the door
In my city is if you rap, play ball or you sell dope
Or a dope fiend sniffing coke, nigga, you know how it go
Truth be told, I'm just trying to get my cheese up
When we need them, they never need us
When they see us in the struggle, they ain't want to see us
My mama trying to hustle, so they can believe us
Truth be told, I'm just praying on my knees
Asking the Lord, please, can you get us out the struggle
I'm just trying to get a deal with my family to the hills
So my ma won't have to move a muscle
You can only reach it if you try
You can only reach it with the hard knocks of life
You can only reach it, just gotta believe it
Dreams and aspirations, goals and achieving
If you try
