[Intro: Jeezy]

Time for the fallen soldiers

Can't have a war without casualties, you know?

For everybody goin' through the struggle, you know

Real shit everyday, everyday shit is real

(Every hood, every ghetto, every block, every trench)

I know how you feel, yeah, look

[Chorus: Jeezy]

I been out here grindin' so long

But still I had to find my way on my own

I could tell you what it beez like

I could tell you what it beez like

I'm a true hustler, all that I know

So I can make it anywhere that I go

I could tell you what it beez like

I could tell you what it beez like-like, beez like

[Verse 1: Jeezy]

Straight from the hood, got a "get money" fetish

Pocket full of green, nigga, like a head of lettuce

Put the work in a bag, make a yayo sandwich

Then we go and spread it through the hood like Manwich

One thing about it, we gon' get this bread

When you knew shit was real? When they found a rat dead

Right around the corner where us young niggas hustled at

Right by the stop sign, that's where they was bussin' at

When you come here with nothin', gotta learn how to provide

Carlo had a Benz 'fore he was old enough to drive

Losin' 10-20 every night, gamblin' ain't nothin'

Nigga got killed takin' up for his cousins

When you knew shit was real? Drop outfit in the feds

Still 8 years and a nigga shot him dead

On the humbug, left him slumped in his car

Everybody got a day, don't matter who you are

[Chorus: Jeezy]

I been out here grindin' so long

But still I had to find my way on my own

I could tell you what it beez like

I could tell you what it beez like

I'm a true hustler, all that I know

So I can make it anywhere that I go

I could tell you what it beez like

I could tell you what it beez like-like, beez like

[Verse 2: Boosie Badazz]

Stove water, heat cold water

Knew I'd touch a bird when I got my first quarter

Sell water to a well, nigga

Cold nights, cold hearts, tough love

That's what it be like in jail, nigga

Mama crying at my visit cause she care for me

Daughter just had her period, ain't there for her

Know how to have a girl you know just gon' hold ya back

But the pussy so good you keep goin' back

Hurt when ya main man turned rat

Make the whole la familia turn hot like that

Any city, any block, any boulevard

I survive, no lie, I'm a ghetto boy

I could tell ya bout the dos and don'ts

Could make it anywhere I go, so lose I won't

I can tell ya bout the hard time when ya really need it

Been grindin' so long, still had to call Jeezy

[Chorus: Jeezy]

I been out here grindin' so long

But still I had to find my way on my own

I could tell you what it beez like

I could tell you what it beez like

I'm a true hustler, all that I know

So I can make it anywhere that I go

I could tell you what it beez like

I could tell you what it beez like-like, beez like

[Verse 3: Jeezy]

Straight from the bottom, tryna make it to the top

What the gov'ment don't give you, gotta get it from the block

Feel like a bad boy cause this shit don't stop

Street so dirty, need a muhfuckin' mop, uh oh!

Lil homie, stay focused, handle ya business

Don't talk to them niggas around you, might be a witness

Don't tell the dishwasher what you did wit' ya dishes

Don't tell these snitchin' niggas what you did wit' ya riches

Niggas is hopin' they see Christmas

But, if we just happen to don't, we hope you miss us

Santa raised all seven them kids, didn't miss a meal

She work her fingers right to the bone, didn't miss a bill

Nigga, six for the nine, let's make a deal

See, one thing bout countin' this money, it make ya feel

See, I used to get 'em right from the source, got 'em direct

The same nigga that had a connect, he in the set

[Chorus: Jeezy]

I been out here grindin' so long

But still I had to find my way on my own

I could tell you what it beez like

I could tell you what it beez like

I'm a true hustler, all that I know

So I can make it anywhere that I go

I could tell you what it beez like

I could tell you what it beez like-like, beez like
