I can't count the number of times that I failed
But somehow through it all man the kid just prevailed
(Yeah) My money was frail, I had no weight on that scale
The humble beginnings that I felt too ashamed to just tell
No idea what I was even chasin' after
Became a slave to my trade and it made me a master
4.0's - And I still wanna get my bachelors
But I like to thank the lord for getting me over my sins
Guiding me to find my paper and pen
You could see my limbs coming out of my skin
Preparing for L's never expecting to win
Thinking damn, am I destined to end up in this life of sin
Alone, some nights would just get so grim
Better watch for these demons they come unexpected
With all your dreams they come and collect it
Still got My girl holding me up while tears run down my chin
Just treading water, I could barely swim
In 3rd person like you don't want to be with him
But she said you belong to me,
So you stay strong for me
And one day you gon' make it,
And when you do
You gon' make a song for me
A song for me
So I ran out to the city
Chasing my dreams tryna get my own billies
Doubt me so I'm balling like young Meek back in Philly
But that wasn't enough
I saw bitches turn into hoes and say life was so tough
And maybe it is
They killin my brothers cuz they tryna keep 'em in cuffs
I know I'm a youngn chasing pussy and thrills but that don't mean I don't want be loved
I was screaming f*ck haters while keeping my ears plugg(Ed)
Wanna shoot my chances before i run out of luck
My bars ain't shaky but it gotcha girl asking to hit it
You see me out in the streets tryna get my own fitted
Ya I'm feeling like young simba back in 08 getting no cake
Screaming Vietnam till the end of my fate
So I'm balling like I'm Jordan
I guess I'll see you on the court then
Killled Every MC like I've been running quarters
And I hope you bitches see now
Imma be a star and you gon see me on tv now
But she said you belong to me,
So you stay strong for me
And one day you gon' make it,
And when you do
You gon' make a song for me
A song for me
So I'm Showing off the new generation with the rhymings
Money's worth gold but family's worth diamonds
So if you ever try to f*ck wit me I might just kill(keel) your hole f*cking family so you better get to hiding
Gave them lyrics and now they folded on me
Trusted in them and now they snitching on me
So I had kill 'em like that with my flow right on me
But now I be having shows wit the speakers up to the ceiling
So when you listen to these words
Gotta understand my bigger feeling(s)
(Harder flow)
Cuz I'm praying for some guidance
I'd smoke all ya and I don't need no alliances
So mama plz dry your eyes there ain't a reason to cry
I'm out here working and keeping my dreams all alive
Cuz imma be a Grammy nominated
Wit no bitches affiliated
Yeah labels communicated and the car got upgraded
Uh
But these boys still wanna envy
Saw the talent now they try to end me
And I don't want your pitty so don't try to be friendly
But she said you belong to me,
So you stay strong for me
And one day you gon' make it,
And when you do
You gon' make a song for me
A song for me
