Hmmm, yeah
Mhm
We take the good, we take the bad
Its not about what we had
We just tryna get by
We stay out of trouble
All we wanna do to get a little bit better
We take the joy, we take the pain
Its not about what you gain
We just tryna get by
We just tryna get by
Oh, this is the story of my life
Tryna keep the drama and the bullshit away
I stay so busy on my grind
I dont they even pay attention to the things that they say
A nigga never been as broke as me, I like that
Now were makin this money, gotta get it while I can
When I was young I had two pair of Lees 
The pin stripes and the gray, the one I wore on Mondays and Wednesdays
While niggas flirt Im sewing tigers on my shirts, and alligators
You want to see the inside, I see you later
Here comes the drama, oh
Thats that nigga with the fake, bloaw!
Why you punch me in my face? Stay in your place
Play your position, here come my intuition
Go in this nigga pocket, rob him while his friends watchin
His crews your crew or they might be next
We take the good, we take the bad
Its not about what we had 
We just tryna get by
We stay out of trouble
All we wanna do to get a little bit better 
We take the joy, we take the pain
Its not about what you gain 
We just tryna by
We just tryna by 
Look at they man eye, big man, they never try
So we rolled with them, stole with them
I mean loyalty, niggas bought me milks at lunch
The milks was chocolate, the cookies, butter crunch
Pass the blunt
No matter how I did it, I had to stay winnin
If it was bout the paper, I was with it 
I was a shame, my crew was lame
I had enough heart for most of them
Long as I got stuff from most of them
Its on, even when I was wrong I got my point across
They depicted me the boss, of course
My orange box-cutter make the world go round
Plus Im fuckin bitches, aint my homegirls now
Start stackin, dabbled in crack, gun packin
Nickname Medina make the seniors tote my niñas
From gym class to English pass off a global
The only nigga with a mobile, cant you see like Total
We take the good, we take the bad
Its not about what we had
We just tryna get by
We stay out of trouble
All we wanna do to get a little bit better 
We take the joy, we take the pain
Its not about what you gain
We just tryna by
We just tryna by 
We take the good, we take the bad 
Its not about what we had 
We just tryna get by
We stay out of trouble
All we wanna do to get a little bit better 
We take the joy, we take the pain
Its not about what you gain
We just tryna get by
We just tryna get by
We just tryin, tryin, yeah
Its not about what we had
Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on
Just keep on pressin up 
Sky is the limit and you know that you can have
What you want, be what you want
Huh
