[00:00:00] The Hard Way - JT Tha Bigga Figga/San Quinn/D-M.O.E/Seff Tha Gaffla

[00:00:03] It's a hot summer day in the year of 84'

[00:00:05] Fresh out of summer school headed for the store

[00:00:07] Watching the o G's standing out getting rich

[00:00:10] Slanging the fat brown bags of the good sh*t

[00:00:12] D**e is out but I really ain't seen it though

[00:00:14] D**e fiends smoking the sh*t by the corner store

[00:00:16] Broke as f**k kinda bummy with nappy hair

[00:00:18] But what can I say when a playa's on welfare

[00:00:20] Life is hard and I'm only 13

[00:00:22] Always on a prowl always on a scheme

[00:00:24] There wasn't nothing to do but have fun

[00:00:26] Wait for the dark then creep to emporium

[00:00:28] Get the t I get the guess shirts

[00:00:30] Get the fresh couch break for the turf

[00:00:32] Doing it boley never in fear

[00:00:34] Getting they punk a** for about a year

[00:00:36] Until I got called went to the hall

[00:00:38] Writing on the wall waiting for a hair call

[00:00:40] Released to moms what can I say

[00:00:42] Off to sears the very next day

[00:00:44] Now sears is easier cuz it's in the area

[00:00:46] Walk to the back of the rack then carried the

[00:00:48] Sh*t back to the stolen car

[00:00:50] Drive and park by the house is not too far

[00:00:52] My gear was fat but still no money though

[00:00:54] Talked to my homey then got fronted so

[00:00:56] Stacking my sh*t hustling cash

[00:00:58] Gotta get out gave him his half

[00:01:00] Hooked up with a friend oh we started booming

[00:01:02] Then we go to some o's then I went solo

[00:01:04] Stacking my pay getting it on

[00:01:06] Got myself a beeper and a cellular phone

[00:01:08] A donkey roll a twenty-two

[00:01:10] Jumped on my bike headed for school

[00:01:12] Locked up my sh*t cuz the fools be ganking

[00:01:15] A young ni**a pimping that benjamin franklin

[00:01:16] So I walked the halls wishing the merrier

[00:01:19] Hooked up with a freak by the cafeteria

[00:01:21] Hair was long pretty with butt

[00:01:23] I told the freak I was about to cut

[00:01:24] So call me at eight and don't be late

[00:01:27] When I left the school there was a big mistake

[00:01:29] So I jumped on my bike and headed for the set

[00:01:31] With a pocketful of rocks ah man I regret

[00:01:32] For not staying in school for just doing my work

[00:01:35] Getting chased by the task now I feel like a jerk

[00:01:37] So I'm on the run and I better run fast

[00:01:39] Cuz if I don't they're gonna beat my a**

[00:01:41] Hit a quick cut run by the ave

[00:01:43] Go to the valley you know I gotta laugh

[00:01:45] Jogged to the third floor running the d**e spot

[00:01:47] A playa too quick a young brotha can't get caught

[00:01:49] B**ch want credit better go to the bank

[00:01:51] Then my homey walked in with the straight-laced dank

[00:01:53] Two young playas getting high on the couch

[00:01:55] In a spot at a d**e fiend's house

[00:01:57] Two hours passed now it must be cool

[00:01:59] Cuz I gotta make money f**k going back to school

[00:02:01] Wrapped up for the crime now I gotta do time

[00:02:03] But when I'm out I'll be back on the grind

[00:02:05] All my homies kept flipping and the man kept tripping

[00:02:07] But me jt I'm a victim of the system

[00:02:10] Sh*t got thick but what can I say

[00:02:11] In the life of a player but that is the hard way

[00:02:22] Now it's 92' as you can see

[00:02:23] So I gotta get paid from the r-a-p

[00:02:25] I was in the d**e game now I'm in the rap game

[00:02:28] But I gotta get paid so f**k the fame

[00:02:30] I'm a tell ta it goes something like this

[00:02:32] By any means necessary I'm getting my grits

[00:02:34] Here's a little something by the man

[00:02:36] He's always scheming up a plan

[00:02:38] Always trying to say which way is right

[00:02:40] Always trying to force us to the way of life

[00:02:42] Of robbing killing straight d**e dealing

[00:02:44] Young niggas running around trying to be villians

[00:02:46] So they offer us minimum wage

[00:02:48] Knowing damn well we're gonna get the 12 gauge

[00:02:50] To go outside and pull a jack or a caper

[00:02:52] Hoping that we make front page of the paper

[00:02:54] Extra extra black brotha dead

[00:02:56] Shot in the head by a cop named Fred

[00:02:58] When you read the paper you know it's a damn lie

[00:03:00] Talk about justifiable homicide

[00:03:02] Then they say we no good at all

[00:03:04] And if we are for just raps and basketball

[00:03:06] Niggas ain't sh*t niggas all lazy

[00:03:08] All they do is f**k go to jail and have babies

[00:03:11] Sh*t I'm not that ni**a

[00:03:12] I'm jt the one and only bigga figga

[00:03:14] That's one of the reasons why I'm doing my own thang

[00:03:16] Now I know you've heard the song so mind your own mane

[00:03:19] And you'll be fine and you be cool

[00:03:20] And all you young brothas you better stay in school

[00:03:22] Quit running around trying to be the neighborhood jacker

[00:03:25] Better go to recess and eat some cheese and crackers

[00:03:26] Before you find yourself laying up on a tombstone

[00:03:29] Gonna be there forever cuz that is your home

[00:03:31] No more TV and no more nintendo

[00:03:33] No more bikes and no more friends bro

[00:03:35] You better wake up before it's too late

[00:03:37] Before you find yourself standing out in heaven's gate

[00:03:39] Cuz you trying to get in but no my friend

[00:03:41] Cuz ya die or committed a sin

[00:03:43] Trying to peel a cap but ya got your cap peeled

[00:03:45] Now your mother's outside wondering why you got killed

[00:03:47] Use better judgment in the game you play

[00:03:49] In the life of a black man but that is the hard way
