It's like, no matter when I'm up, when I'm down, you know?
I just love music, so I gotta do this shit for life
you know what I'm sayin'?
It's like, I'll still be doin' this shit
if I wasn't gettin' paid for it, you feel me?
I ain't gon' stop this shit
'til I get where I need to be and after
God put here for a reason
this my gift (Ayo, Tusk, you goin' crazy)

When times get hard, you gotta hold on (You gotta hold on)
No matter who's there, the show goes on (The show goes on)
I've been runnin' the streets
so I don't go home (So I don't go home)
I've been grindin' it out for so long (For so long)
But I ain't givin' up 'cause I know
I'm here to stay (Know I'm here to stay)
I've been blockin' everythin' out that get in my way
I know my timе is comin', I just gotta have faith, uh
(I just gotta have faith)
And I know what it takes (Know what it takеs)

I know what it takes, I'm in the studio for days
And I know my girl trippin', I just text her and explain
Even though they want this rap shit
I just keep givin' 'em pain
I gotta stick to what I know best
just look how far I done came
Some days I feel I wanna give up
Some days I'm tired, but I still get up (Still get up)
I ain't never gon' stop even
when I'm millions up (Millions up)
I put my heart up in this music
before I kill myself (Kill myself)
This my gift that God gave me (Gave me)
I would've died in the streets
but this what saved me (But this what saved me)
Gotta make the sacrifices to win
how can you blame me? (How can you blame me?)
I do this shit for all of us, how can you hate me?
(How can you hate me?)

When times get hard, you gotta hold on (You gotta hold on)
No matter who's there, the show goes on (The show goes on)
I've been runnin' the streets
so I don't go home (So I don't go home)
I've been grindin' it out for so long (For so long)
But I ain't givin' up 'cause I know I'm here to stay
(Know I'm here to stay)
I've been blockin' everythin' out that get in my way
I know my time is comin'
I just gotta have faith, uh (I just gotta have faith)
And I know what it takes (Know what it takes)

And I know what it takes
And I know what it takes
And I know what it takes
