Thru A Lot

🎶 Track Title: Thru A Lot

🎤 Lyrics – “Thru A Lot”

Intro  
Yeah… *(spoken low)*  
They don’t know what it’s like… *(echoed)*  
Uh-huh… *(breathy)*

Verse 1  
I done slept on floors, ate noodles for weeks *(Facts!)*  
Had to hustle in silence, couldn’t show I was weak *(Real talk…)*  
Seen the system chew up folks that looked just like me  
So I read every book, but kept the strap by the seat *(Gotta move smart…)*

They teach you in school how to chase a degree  
But the streets teach you how to spot envy for free  
Had to learn how to move without makin’ a sound  
‘Cause one wrong word’ll get you laid in the ground *(Ten toes!)*

I ain’t never been perfect, but I stayed ten toes  
Had to cut off some folks, they was playin’ both roles *(Cut ‘em off…)*  
Talkin’ love to my face, throwin’ shade when I leave  
That’s why I trust God, but I still keep the piece *(Still prayin’…)*

Hook  
I been through a lot, had to thug through the pain *(Thru a lot!)*  
Felt the heat from the block, walked alone in the rain *(Rain on me…)*  
I don’t fold, I don’t bitch, I just tighten my grip *(I don’t fold!)*  
If you ain’t been through the mud, you ain’t built for this shit *(Built for this!)*

Verse 2  
They don’t teach you how to mourn when your dawg get dropped *(Damn…)*  
Just a bottle and a blunt, and a heart that’s locked *(Silent pain…)*  
Had to learn how to cry without makin’ a sound  
‘Cause emotions get you judged when you come from the town

I seen mamas lose sons, seen sons lose hope  
Seen the judge throw time like he laughin’ at folks *(Cold world…)*  
So I studied the law, learned the game they play  
Now I move like a king, but I still pray every day *(Level up…)*

I don’t glorify the streets, I just speak what I know  
If you ain’t built for the fire, better stay out the smoke *(Smoke heavy…)*  
‘Cause this life ain’t sweet, it’ll test your soul  
You either break or evolve, either crash or grow *(Grow or die…)*

Hook  
I been through a lot, had to thug through the pain  
Felt the heat from the block, walked alone in the rain  
I don’t fold, I don’t bitch, I just tighten my grip  
If you ain’t been through the mud, you ain’t built for this shit

Outro  
So if you listenin’ close, this ain’t just a song *(Listen close…)*  
It’s a lesson in survival when the world do you wrong *(Keep goin’…)*  
Keep your mind on your mission, keep your circle tight *(Circle tight…)*  
And never let a fake muthafucka dim your light *(Shine on ‘em!)*
