We kept hustlin   We kept grindin      [Violent J]   The overwhelming workload that it takes   The shakin' off snakes   The pains and the aches   Wrong moves and mistakes   They disrupt, corrupt and distract you from your mission   And all those who let go and spend their lives wishin and missin   I couldn't listen in school, I felt I had a different callin   But all everybody did was roll their eyes and start yawnin   But this is real life and only you is livin through your eyes   There are dreamers, those who want it   And us, who won't be denied   Its a struggle every day, success is far from fuckin free   Unless you plucked it from a tree, with J and ICP   Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J Refuse to Lose!   Livin' proof do what you got and you can do what you choose      [Shaggy 2 Dope]   Hate to sit back on this track like a little bitch and remininsce
