[Chorus: Young Dollar]
I do what I gotta do to get on this grind
Whatever it takes to put peace at ya mind
I know these streets can be very scary
But i gotta do what I gotta do...
By any means neccessary
Im gonna see that one of us survives
And Baby you know I gotta sacrafice...

[Verse 1: Young Dollar]
You know we come accustume to the lives we dwell
Thats why we claim that life is so beautiful
............Even though we all be living in hell
Staying out in the streets workin minimum wage
Tag on the time for jail and add it on to our age
Just to find out we aint hustlin for better days
Just to get stuck in a cage...but yes there are chosen few
The ones who see it threw, but...sadly couldn't see it wit his crew
Got out the hood and bought the mansion in The Hamptons
Minds bubbelin in the minds of the feds of what happenin
Like how the hell dis nigga quickly raised up his y-axis
On the status of the money making with no 9 to 5
............Could it be glitch in the system
Or just that got off on his grind and had his chance to shine
Nigga try to find boo on his avenue
Try to understand the proccess of becoming a man
Even though there wasn't one in his life to guide em by the hand
Now he sittin thinking he living life at the top as the best
Only to get smacked right down by the feds and the I.R.S.

[Chrous: Young Dollar]
I do what I gotta do to get on this grind
Whatever it takes to put peace at ya mind
I know these streets can be very scary
But i gotta do what I gotta do...
By any means neccessary
Im gonna see that one of us survives
And Baby you know I gotta sacrafice...

[Verse 2: Young Dollar]
Lets get it straight, dont consider me no gangsta
Yes I sin up in these streets, hustlin for these intergers
But evil in the mind body in soul just like a sinister
Got prayed for in church and shooked up the minister
Blew his mindframe, and quickly prayed to his name
Damn...Competitive in this game can make nigga evil in the game
Even at my age, I carry on with the rage,carry on with the gage
Carry on with the devil plans so he can move on to the next page
My whole life I thought I was in it for only myself
Not aware to the fact I was doing evil for someone else
I using these evil spirits to get me out of the hood
Then thank God we everything rollin all so good
Even though he has nothing to do with it
Watches us live life and let us see what we'll do with the script
But yet so many carry on, Not know whats going on
Till what time we have is almost all gone
Realising our depts are very hepty
But try to pay em by any means neccessary

[Chrous: Young Dollar]
I do what I gotta do to get on this grind
Whatever it takes to put peace at ya mind
I know these streets can be very scary
But i gotta do what I gotta do...
By any means neccessary
Im gonna see that one of us survives
And Baby you know I gotta sacrafice...

[Verse 3: Young Dollar]
Ra'Neecia better realise that your my boo
Let a nigga realise the consequences for fucking with you
Cuz only the Devil and God know what I will do
God witnessing my reaction to the action in here
While the devil whispereing in my ear, got me drivin from all fear
Only gun at hand thinkin i understand whats about to happen to dis man
Till im at that breaking point, do i go shoot right past it
Or do I fix it and just ride right past it
Option 2 I choose leave behind all the money and the crews
Realisin its times its around for me to make a new
But damn i got 17 years of karma thats commin back on me
Maybe alittle bit mite just fall back apon you
So do i let you willing ride by myside, You and I
Or Do i choose that the love of my life i must loose
Damn I wish all these decisions will just remain gone
Finaly comprehending that i rather die slow and alone
Than for my baby to be not be happy in my home
Not even safe tucked between my arms
Push you away into the enternal sea of life to be lost
Praying the same will be from my self made chaos
Take my last breath a few moments after i take my last puff
I told the world I smoke till i die man that shit wasn't no bluff
Damn...no told me the pain of breath meeting your death
And threw my last moments of misery what do I see
Only you and mean in the happiest of my memories
God finaly lets me rest, grants me to heaven cuz i did my best
Satifisfaction in me cuz you i protected you by
By any means neccessary
