yo i was raised in poverty (in poverty)
yeah, life was hard
growin up ’round, k!llaz and hust-lers
i used ta, sit on the porch
watch pops smoke luports
trying when he was going to get his next bag to snort
i just sit back, deep in thought like (man)
wishin i had a plan to make him a better man
but i can’t, but that’s what made it worse
then i started smokin weed and hustlin work
i turned to the streets, fifteen, mind on cash
highschool fliest n-gga in the cl-ss
why all y’all was studyin trying to p-ss
i was tryna, get the p-ss, to cut out and get -ss
i was always ahead of my time
neighbours in the hood said i be locked up
or dead by twenty-five
but still i, ride, wit my head high
knowin i’m a young thug and i will survive
[chorus: merc]
i can’t stop (i can’t stop)
i gotta keep it movin (i gotta keep it movin)
knowin this life i’m livin (knowin this life i’m livin)
it’s either death or prison (it’s either death or prison)
hard livin
(repeat once)
[d.o. cannon]

(repeat once)
[black child]
word to god, yeah
i was only twelve when i first went to jail
locked up and sparked it, f-cked up and heartless
my moms had a habit, heron and acid
a bad lil’ basterd always needed my -ss kicked
a five member family living in one room
cookin on hot plates, eatin on plastic spoons
i don’t esagerate, or imaginate
i had to go to jail to graduate
growin up in foster homes, you fosters own
i had to get up, get out and get my own
n-ggas was throwin bricks i’m tossin stones
then i floss the chrome, the boss is home
but the block is gone, the cops is wrong
yellow got paralyzed, little jemel died
put me in h-ll and i still rise
put me in the chair i’ll fry
do my whole twenty-five
[chorus: merc]
i can’t stop (i can’t stop)
i gotta keep it movin (i gotta keep it movin)
knowin this life i’m livin (knowin this life i’m livin)
it’s either death or prison (it’s either death or prison)
hard livin
(repeat once)
