Really tried to tell yall that I'm built for this
Everybody sat there said they'd never talk that shit
But everybody switched right up and they always chose that side that I wasn't on so I had to f*cking cry
Had to let all my pain out
Everybody listening to these songs
Hope y'all finally hear that shit, man I was never wrong
Tryna live my life day by day
Man, it wasn't right
Did that shit back to back
Look, I really had to fight
Take it out that f*cking basement
Man, that hole was big I couldn't really climb out that shit
Look, I had to live every day down in that shit
Every day that I went by Look, I couldn't do that shit, man
I just got real high Smoking drugs back to back
Look, that's how it felt every day of my life
Ain't nobody really understand that I couldn't do it right
So I switched it right up Told y'all, look, I'm living my life
Once I make it out this shit Everybody gonna support me
Man, I never really told y'all how I really f*cking felt
Back then in my past, everything just went to hell
Never really got to sit in that room with everybody
Every time I did, I just really felt real lonely
Now I sit at the top with some people that I really think are great
Those are people back then that I promised I wouldn't hate
Now I do it with them every day and I promise that we survive
Those are people that I promised I would never lie
Really tried to tell y'all that I'm built for this
Everybody sat there said they never talked that shit
But everybody switched right up and they always chose that side
That I wasn't on, so I had to f*cking cry
Had to let all my pain out, everybody listening to these songs
Hope y'all finally hear that shit, man, I was never wrong
Trying to live my life day by day, man, it wasn't right
Did that shit back to back, look, I really had to fight
All of my walls be closing in every day, I just continue to pray
I am on my last day, I wanna give it up today
I won't let the system treat me like a slave
They can say what they want, but I'm not playing their games
Cause I'm not interested and I don't ever change
Only here to feed my family, I don't care about the fame
I've been through so much, yeah give me a break
Lord knows I done made some mistakes
Now im drinkin out the liquor bottle to control my pain, yeah
If only it were easy to save somebody like me, yeah
Cause I'm too shot down and I'm all out of luck
I'm looking for some help, but I don't know who to trust
Baby, every day I battle and I don't think that I'm strong enough
But I'll keep going until the sun comes up
I tried to tell everybody that I am built for this
Ever since I was a little kid
I had a dream, now I'm a dream big
I wanna get rich and that is my only wish, yeah
Look we gotta get rich, told my family I gotta do it quick
Ain't nobody really understand that shit, so I knew I had to spit
All my pain into the mic, knew everybody would just listen
Moment I made it to the top, everybody got real distant
But I don't really get it, everybody knows I did it
Really did this shit, back to back they know I beat them critics
Moment I started talking, everybody turned to crickets
Don't really understand that shit, so I really hope y'all know
That we going to the top, ain't nobody taking it from me
Did this shit for the team and I did it really for the family
Told them once we do it, lil' we really need to survive
Once we make it out that shit, everybody's gonna hide
