I'm gonna make sure you never forget me Konvict [Chorus:] Going through these struggles everyday on this pavement In every hood I see 'em doing the same There's a lot of haters that don't want me to make it All I want is for you to remember my name So that you'll never forget me So that you'll never forget me So that you'll never forget me So that you'll never forget me When I'm dead and gone they're gonna remember me as being one of the livest Genuine ghetto survivors when they gain terror inside I pop in their mind, a silent killer Straight out the ghetto a grimy nigga With lyrics more potent than a viper's venom When bite to kill 'em, when I get in them Niggas never knew what'd hit 'em Legends For what we done did on these streets And what we done spit on these...

Face a trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob G's, still I borrow
I need to take it slow, my heart is growing cold
I'm trying to hide my feelings from the people that I know
And everywhere I go I'm trying to lay low
Can't afford to get in no trouble because I'm on parole
I'm trying to live life right
God knows with all my might
But I'm just barely getting by
'Cause money's way too tight
And I can say this right
The struggle and the fight
It's weakin' all the muscles in my body like Kryptonite
Making me feel like there is no other way
But the different streets get that dough
Living and praying for a better day, so
Face a trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob G's, still I borrow
Face a trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob G's, still I borrow
Streets, I ain't no longer on it, don't need feds all upon it
I done left that life alone 'cause all I did was impress
My homie, and then my conscience told me, careful
Tou tendarone, always complaining after I ain't never did
She always lonely, so what am I to do?
Gotta get money for food 'cause if she starves to death
Then I gotta deal with her attitude
And I in that type of mood 'cause I ain't type of dude
It's bad enough, I gotta deal with all this I'm going through
It's making me feel like there is no other way
But the different streets get that dough
Living and praying for a better day, so
Face a trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob G's, still I borrow
Face a trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob G's, still I borrow
Face a trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
Trying not to rob G's, still I borrow
Face a trouble everyday
Trying to walk away from a life of sorrow
It's a struggle everyday
