[Intro: Tommy Wright III, Al Kapone]
Don't you ever think we don't know (Yeah)
What you goin' through, partner
Ska Face, Al Kapone up in this junt
Yeah, your boy Tommy Wright the third
And the Street Smart Centers
Alkatraz affiliated
Lettin' y'all know we know what time it is
How hard it is comin' in these streets
Tell him, Al
In these streets of Memphis, it's hard
Losin' loved ones to the ground and to the penitentiaries
Ain't no love, dawg (Haters)
Know what I'm sayin'?
The system tryin' to keep you down (Down)
It ain't no love
Dry them tears, you not alone
You know what you're goin' through
Tommy Wright the third and Al Kapone, bitch
[Hook: Tommy Wright III, Al Kapone, Both]
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
The same thing I'm goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
Believe me
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
The same thing I'm goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
Believe me
I know what you're goin' through
[Verse 1: Tommy Wright III]
The greed, the cheese, enemies, the Beast, and the ki's by the jeep
Haters, they scopin', ask me when I open
The one time I blink is when blinked off them trees
Tommy Wright the third, strapped with a big boy tone
In the crew, with Al Kapone
Bustas come up to then leave me alone
I'm gone in the zone on my own
Livin' in the woods where it's hated, but come so deadly
Everybody wanna go to Heaven, but none of 'em really get it
By your petty evidence, can't be touched
Livin' in the ghetto of a city forever rough
Bust if I must, 'cause I can't even trust
The same people I'm callin' my friends
Violations, I'm out probation to leave to my incarcerations in the pen
Sippin' on gin just to ease my urge
I hit the 'erb, get off the curb
Get up in the hoochie thang and swerve
What you don't know, 5-0 ain't really here to protect
They here to serve
Tired of partners that keep throwin' crosses
And takin' big losses, they hurt
Rest in peace to all my dogs that rode in that hearse
So many mama kids waitin' on the first
Times is hard, bills comin', but your money lookin' funny
And hustlin' until I die, it's not the first indefinitely
But I even intended the sinfully comin'
'Cause of the 'jects, they can't even make destiny
Made by the Hell and the youth they produce
Mane, don't ever think Tommy Wright don't know your pain
'Cause fool
[Hook: Tommy Wright III, Al Kapone, Both]
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
The same thing I'm goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
Believe me
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
The same thing I'm goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
Believe me
I know what you're goin' through
[Verse 2: C-9]
C-9 struggled the streets for days
Duffle and hustle the game to get paid
Doin' dirt on them streets
Boy, at least it's [?]
Catchin' hell everyday was the way that I live
On the billboard top, but I rob then mob
Chop my crop on the shop made my drop on the block
Dodgin' knots on the spot
Try to game up and knock on the run like Tommy
Gunnin' with the federal agents on me
[Verse 3: Princess Loko]
Robbin', stealin', killin', capital murders happen everyday
Mothers slackin' on feedin' they kids
Sick boys livin' from day to day
Sinista, the Tommy Three, it's Princess Loko stayin' real
Keep survivin', strivin' busta free
'Cause I know the pain you feel
[Verse 4: Project Pimp]
Playa, I know what you goin' through
Project Pimp feel yo pain from sorrows here
Project Pimp been through the same thing
Dealin' with the police, Project Pimp got no fear
Strapped like jap from the blade, with the SK
Any kind of anna, you can start and I'ma solve
Ho, quick weave, leave blood on the pavement
And to kinda top it, I'ma shift 'em at the park
[Verse 5: La Chat]
Buckin' these folks of the system, mane, ain't cool
Need to watch out, don't be fools (Don't be no fools)
Mane, this worlds so messed up
Hardened to my heart, can't leave until the kids to school
Brothers killin' one another, mane, don't do it
We all strugglin' to survive
La Chat tryin' to make a change
You already know we livin' from thing to thing
[Hook: Tommy Wright III, Al Kapone, Both]
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
The same thing I'm goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
Believe me
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
The same thing I'm goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
Believe me
I know what you're goin' through
[Verse 6: Al Kapone]
Walkin' around, pockets on E, tired of livin' life like this
Thinkin' to myself I gotta come up on the lick, real quick
Stomach growlin', head hurtin', don't sting like a damn thing
Work of the angels tellin' me to hold on
But the Devil givin' me pain for certain
Moms trippin' about my plans that'll need to be down the road
Roll in one in out the other, 'cause I'm tired of bein' broke
It seems life for homies are the only ones who understand
Instead of gettin' on my cash, we comin' up with a master plan
Not to mention, I got a child, baby mama with that drama
Say she's takin' me to court, tell me to pay her with child support
Now, the system on my back, my friends startin' to back down
Puttin' my business in the street, playa hatin' spreadin' foul
Who can I trust? I'm on the edge, ain't no love
Fallin' to my knees and expressin' my pain
Talkin' to the almighty above
'Bout to do somethin' drastic, might end up in a casket
Ska Face, Al Kapone, need some love before I go out like a savage
[Hook: Tommy Wright III, Al Kapone, Both]
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
The same thing I'm goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
Believe me
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
The same thing I'm goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
Believe me
I know what you're goin' through
I know what you're goin' through
