Blood, Sweat and Tears

[Intro]
Blood, sweat and tears, nahmean?
Yeah, word
Uh, uh Let's go
Yeah (go)

[Verse 1]
Ayo
Y'all cats in the industry could keep stylin'
But we wildin'
I feel like yall ain't trying to do the understanding
We've been suffering for years
And the only thing it seemed to give us was blood, sweat and tears
I love Hip-Hop since cassette tapes so don't doubt my shit
I got experience, it's serious how I die for this (uh uh)
My parents never liked this music
So they used to blame me in public
When I had earphones in my ears
At that moment my fear's not school but actin' a fool
Used to chill in the studio and waste time
But at the same time would contemplate on how to get mine (What)
So I sat back, relaxed and made Music 4 Ya Mind
Had to deal with the hard moments, the opponents during this life experience
Even though I stayed focused

[Hook]
Scratches by Dj Fléo

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I can't chill cause I did my girl wrong
Kind of like the music business just did to the song
No talents required (nope)
Put some autotune in your shit and I promise it'll be a hit
That's what the producers got their heads but fuck that
It's so sad
How niggas who be keeping it real ain't got no deals
That's why I chose to stay independent
I'm a militant on a movement, on a mission
To spread a message to a whole a nation (the whole world)
But nowadays artists showin' image on television that ain't their reality
Say shit like: "We in Miami doind plenty tracks with Weezy"
But never sell more than 500 copies
Plus I'm glad to see loyalty in the game beyond the fortune & fame
You know why?
Cos it's the most important

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
I couldn't concentrate with the stress of livin' this life
Having no rest
But now all this Blood, Sweat and Tears
Is just bad souvenirs I guess I'm still a fiend to this
But hate when politics invest on artists
Makes me feel regardless
Like when the video directors be askin' for a budget as much as Hype Williams
The shit's got me buggin' out (buggin' out)
Family stressing out
Like this music you do ain't helping you out
I'm like: "Chill ma"
You know if I'm still persisting it's cause, the money, gon' come
Plus my plans to live large like Diddy out in New York City
And I still got a plan to live as healthy
As I was back in D.C
With lots of luxury unlike with the poverty & insanity goin' on with my family

[Outro]
Yup uh uh & that's it
Blood, Sweat & Tears
Music 4 Ya Mind
TigaKing 2010 and for them other years to come, I'm out

[Hook]
