[Verse 1]
How I got over [?] was hustling moves
A couple homies ain't make it but that was just the rules, we going through
Times is tougher, I'm 'bout my guns and my butter
Making enough to feed my sons and my mother
The block keep me illustratin', I write deeply
Beyond all the glits y'all seeing on y'all TV
Hundred percent hood, y'know it's legit good
From the neighborhood concrete bricks that Hill stood
I puff coco and hustle underwater snorkel
You need Gary Paytons, I'm in your hood [?]
Used to play the back of the club, Pac move in
Now when I walk in the club, the rats move in
They must've heard Hill got over
And I'm bout to trade the doc for some Benz working the range
Baby girl, that may be so, but trust me when it blow
No question y'all gon' know
For now it's still hustle mane, sacks and the ruffle gang
All for the green like Bird and Bill Russell mane
I'ma shine, we can make it a bet
I'm getting over and I'm bringing my set, the block, uh (Yo)

[Hook: Melanie Rutherford & J-Hill]
We don't cry no mo' (No mo')
I know some times you get low (You get low but)
If you've been there then you know (Uh)
How I got over
I know that times will get tough
But we ain't shamed to be us
Forgive our bones [?]
How I got over
[Verse 2]
Visualizing realism and life in actuality
The block life could get me murked, a hood causality
But still I push those flames, I'm like cavalry
Rap life don't add up to the right salary
It's nothing new, Hill been through those times
Evidence all through those lines
Check my past, you'll find good and bad, referenced in my path
Street smart moms who work and a hustlin' dad
So the Ying-Yang I was wresting bad
And that accounted for the trouble I had
Plus the new Lex bubble was bad
I wasn't poor and unfortunate
But wanted big body, four door s**t
Presidents came sure to evict
Them was some dangerous times, I could've gotten all sorts of s**t
Thank God for the sports and hits
And thanks Pops for finding the work in my shoebox and hot (The block)


[Hook: Melanie Rutherford]
We don't cry no mo' (No mo')
I know some times you get low (You get low)
If you've been there then you know
How I got over (Got over)
I know that times will get tough
But we ain't shamed to be us (We ain't shamed)
Forgive our bones [?]
How I got over (How I got over)
[Outro: Melanie Rutherford]
Constant questions with no answers
Simply wondering, why? Why? Why?
Hoping and praying that life won't pass you by
