Never gave up dwelling through the hard times
Always chose to keep my head up I was due to shine
Hustle through the grind
Every single time
Couldn't get myself to manage just to stay behind
Dreaming all the time how we wasn't dead broke
Writing every single day since I had hope
Had to perceiver
Blemish all the fear
Compare me now to somebody I was light years
Head of my time knowing I would outlast
All these rappers in the game without a name tag
It ain't hard to tell
It's just simple math
Up and coming heavyweight gonna feel the wrath
Trying to turn these painful stories into dollar signs
Get my homies from the block stop committing crimes
Onto driving only foreign real good times
Laugh at what they said we couldn't do bottom line
I remember all of this like it was yesterday
Six hour session focus on my wordplay
Way before Nate had me drinking alize
Chilling at Latoya house man those the days
Me and Mike going back and fourth in 2k
Bugging since he took a L now most everyday
Spin telling me be patient now just wait
All in amount of time you going be great
