[Lloyd Banks:] Yeah you gotta hold your own Uh huh Go hard or go home
[Verse 1:] Banks I ball like my clocks runnin' out And still come through on the clutch to make 'em shout Wipe the sweater off And jet off In something new 23s on the wheel and Jordan on the shoe Its nothing to score Thats all I really do One after another Hit and burn rubber I swung with the silver I grew up around the way Where you had to sweep all the glass before you play Hes a top C like 80 to a no Like Shady with the flow Like McGrady on the goal My name ring like M-80s when it blow I hit the ladies then I go Its three Mercedes and a Rolls You know? I got my heart from the street Learned how to hustle in dirt and concrete And when you get ya hands dirty you don't get to sleep And if you don't go hard you don't get to eat
[Chorus: Riz] When ya ball in the streets you gotta hold your own Grind its crunch time go hard or go home Player you wanna shine go hard or go home When that money on the line go hard or go home
When ya ball in the streets you gotta hold your own Grind its crunch time go hard or go home Player you wanna shine go hard or go home When that money on the line go hard or go home
[Verse 2: Riz] I only took it out the ghetto go hard on the black top Ill with the peel are you real then jumpshot Killa with the crooks had the crab goin' crazy I'm about to zone out like Kobe goin' for 80 Got a name in the street from pushin' the rock well Tryin to double double hit the block with a twelve twelve Mike was the best when he left the game changed I'm runnin' through the league like Lebron homie King James You know the name Player you see the chain Pink, White and Yellow call it the triple double Lloyd Banks and Riz like Allen and Carmello Nuggets sit in the bezel Ill the grill yellow Hello We goin' hard hate it or love it You ball on a budget I'm makin' moves straight to the bucket Might catch me in the Lastrace spittin that fire On that puff puff pass like Nash the Stadermire
[Chorus: Riz] When ya ball in the streets you gotta hold your own Grind its crunch time go hard or go home Player you wanna shine go hard or go home When that money on the line go hard or go home
When ya ball in the streets you gotta hold your own Grind its crunch time go hard or go home Player you wanna shine go hard or go home When that money on the line go hard or go home
