He's holding us down. Even for the ones that 'll never make it out. Gives us and even them hope, and not be looked down upon or even counted out. . We weren't brought up by the credit we were raised by the check into cash. we gotta make it up out this life.

[tokinblckgie]

I swear every song Jay, Beans, and Face do together is a classic. I was really hoping they would to do an album together back then, but I guess joints like this "Guess Who's Back" and "This Can't Be Life" will have to do...

Things are being said about Jay z now. I cant say that I dont disagree but I just know around this time period. I used to love his songs. Hope he isnt worshipping the Devil and all that but I cant argue with his music from back then.

Never is Beans he the realist

U got to be from the hood to feel this

[unfit4shit]

u right...u right

[MYHOODURHOOD2]

jz part is the best man!!!!

[EspeciallyAnimated]

I am a product of someone who made it out of the low life lifestyle along with seeing MANY of my friends make it out; it is definitely possible. ELIMINATE EXCUSES AND STRIVE WITH A PURPOSE!!

[dsolve123]

this song is the truth

[Sicckmaster]

Anyone who has not lived in the projects or in a ghetto or an impoverished area will never FULLY understand what this song means to people who are living there at this momment. This song is empowering to those people. Some people have the opportunity to do so much that they will never truly understand what it is like to be incapable of doing anything. There are people who will spend their whole life trying to make it out of their ghetto or their projects and not have anything to show for it.

[cjgrayer]

Some how some way...

[jabc4321]

jay the greatest to ever do it

[GMoney112387]

Anthem for all the hood niggas tryna make it out the hood!!! like me!!!

[JimLos]

check out this comment left bye, Jonesyojarra, typical white dude probably making the basic assumptons, he misses the point of song, it's mainly uplifitng telling people they can make it and overcome many odds damn "look a tree grows in brooklyn" Heavy one luv

[Sicckmaster]

Not everyone has the luxury of just picking up and moving somewhere. It takes MONEY for people to get to places like Europe and Spain. They aren't talking about themselves as of now. They are talking about growing up in the hood and all the people who can't afford to do all the shit you do. Some people work all their lives and don't get shit for it. Some people are incapable of going to school and learn to better themselves, so they have to live this life. Your comment just shows your ignorance

[xZansatsu]

Are you stupid? For one, they're not from England. They're from America. And in America, it's not so easy to just "get up and move" especially to another country.

It's not like people live in a ghetto just to live in it and talk about it. It's real, they don't have a choice. It's not so simple as to say "well go somewhere else". Stop being delusional. Not everyone gets your privileges.

[jonesyovjarra]

i am not some spoilt kid who has a rich family and a good education far from it m8 i live in the north east of england the poorest region i understand its not as bad as the ghetos in usa.

i am just saying that thr are opportunities away from yr racist gready country but understand that alot of people cant get away becouse of family and other shit sorry if i come across a little ignorant but young single men or women have the world at thr feet no matter wr u live

[xZansatsu]

Not really, and you are coming across ignorant. How is it that we're racist and greedy?

There aren't as many opportunities for a lot of people, ironically, in the "Land of Opportunity". It's not that simple. The first lines describe the life perfectly. If you don't play basketball or rap, it's not that easy. It's not like the education system is worth a shit or anything. Yeah, with hard work you can do anything, but for most, that doesn't work that way.

[Tashius]

i will make out the hood

[RushRobinson2000]

Me 2 Man

[thatruth87]

that makes 3 of us fella's...

[freeheatlaw]
