You know it's hard out here for a pimp When he tryna get his money for [E] the rim
For the [Bm] catalytic gas money spent Will cause a whole lot of bitches to shim
You know it's hard out here for a pimp When he tryna get his money for the rim
For the catalytic gas money spent Will have a whole lot of bitches wanna shim
In my eyes I done seen some crazy thangs in the streets
Got a couple hoes fuckin' on the chain just for me
But I gotta keep my game, I like Kobe on game
I like kickin' from a [B] hoe don't know no better I know that I ain't right
I done seen people healed, done seen people deal
Done seen people live in poverty, there's no heals
It's fucked up where [Bm] I live, but this is how [B] it is
It might be new to you, but it's been like this for years
[E] It's blood, sweat, and tears when it come down to this shit
I'm tryna get rich, so I leave about this bitch
I'm tryna have thangs, but it's hard for a pimp
But I'm prayin' and I'm hopin' to God I don't see him here
You know it's hard out here for a pimp When he tryna get his money for the rim
For the catalytic gas money spent Will cause a whole lot of [B] bitches wanna shim
You know it's [E] hard out here for a pimp When he tryna get his money for the rim
For the catalytic gas money spent Will have a whole lot of bitches wanna shim
It seems like I'm fuckin' God and bullets everyday
Niggas hatin' though because I got hoes on the train
But I gotta stay brave, gotta stay above water
Couldn't keep up with my hoes, that's me shit
Got part of [E] North Memphis where I'm from
I'm 7th Street brown, with niggas all the time
End up lost and never found, man these girls make me prove things
Leave [B] a big hair, they come open every night
They don't end up being [E] big, wait I got a snow bunny and a [B] black girl too
You pay the right price and they'll both lose you
That's the way the game goes, gotta [E] keep it strictly driven
Gotta have a hustle, I can't be shamed, I be playin' war
You know it's hard out here for a pimp When he tryna get his money for the rim
For the catalytic gas money spent Will cause a whole lot of bitches wanna shim
You know it's hard out here for a pimp When he tryna get his money for the rim
For the catalytic gas money spent Will have a whole lot of bitches wanna shim _ _ _ _

[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Look [Dm] this is my life, and it's a battle within I gotta survive, even if I'm standing [G] to win
[Am] And if I show no remorse I reap the devil's reward
They said it'd give me bitches but I'm looking for more
[Dm] When I was young, witnessed my dad standing for right
Black pride in him even though he passed it for white
[Am] Stooped, fears for my life, now I'm missing the man
Mom's on some other shit, now I'm missing the plane
[Dm] So I'm stuck in this fucking remote
All the lessons to a young teen nigger was cold
[Am] Said my pimpin' ass off, put me up on the game
There really ain't no lovers but this paper, man
[Dm] Put me in a position, got me out on a mission
Collected from the holes, heard me know them, I'm pimpin'
A nigger [Am] from Memphis dealing with life as a struggle
This is the gift I [Em] was given, so I just live out my hustle
[Dm] Keep it flowin'
It ain't over for me, no it ain't over [Am] for me
Keep it _ flowin'
I'ma step my game up and get what's coming to me
[Dm] Keep it flowin'
It ain't over for me, no it ain't over [Am] for me
Keep it flowin'
_ I'ma step my game up and get what's coming to me
[Dm] Now I'm just getting by and it's fucking with me
The others doing big things, they was nothing [Am] to me
I'm seeing what I used to be and it's looking legit
Got my hands on some music, started fucking with it
[Dm] Put it down hard and I started bumping to this
I let some others get a dose and they was nothing to this
[Am] Let me check my connection cause we go back in the day
Say they was looking for dope, heard I was hustling hate
[Dm] Got me conning my niggas, spitting gay to my hoes
This my opportunity, I feel like anything goes
[Am] I was never supposed to see the moon or any of mine
And I [Em] refuse to let my dad die in vain
[Dm] So I give it my all, you feel my struggle in vain
If you ain't feeling what I'm feeling, you tricked you late to the game
[Am] But the closest ones to me know I'm holding it down
You gon' feel me one day, we gon' be hurting town
[Dm] Keep it flowin'
It ain't over for me, no it ain't over [Am] for me
Keep it flowin'
I'ma step my game up and get what's coming to me
[Dm] Keep it flowin'
_ It ain't over for me, no it ain't over [Am] for me
Keep it flowin'
I'ma step my game up and get what's coming to me
[Dm] Keep it flowin'
It ain't over for me, no it ain't over [Am] for me
Keep it flowin'
I'ma step my game up and get what's coming to me
[Dm] Keep it flowin'
It ain't over for me, no it ain't over [Am] for me
Keep it flowin'
I'ma step my game up and get what's coming to me
[Dm] Keep it flowin'
It ain't over for me, no it ain't over [Am] for me
Keep it flowin'
I'ma step my game up and get what's coming to me
[Dm] Keep it flowin' _ _ _ _
[Am] Keep it [C] flowin' _ _ _ _
