My life move faster now
We gon' make it happen now
Man, I don't even have a doubt
This is all after it came crashing down
Can't forget when me and O ain't even have shit
Had to pay to play a show, homie that was tragic
But we stayed on the grind all the time
Made somethin' out of nothin', that's what I call magic
I was dead broke, ain't a damn thing funny
So damn hungry no food in my tummy
Couldn't see the light even when the shit sunny
Back when I was askin' Grandma for that money
I was too ashamed to go tell my Mom
That I lost all the dough that she gave me
If she found out that I gambled that shit
Man I don't even know what'd she say to me... I came
Crashin', crashin', crashin' down
X8
My situation was gettin' so bad
To the point where you couldn't even get me to laugh
I was more focused on what I didn't have
Than what I did have, so I had get back
My fire, my desire for a better life
No lies, I'ma try 'til I get it right
Staying up all night, making sure I don't sleep 'til ya'll wakin' up, alright...
I don't know a mutha fucka out there
Who be workin' as hard as a brother out here
I don't know why a dude like you
Always puttin' me down, when I be in yo town
You can't tell me you don't feel what I be sayin'
I thought you'd be happier that one of us made it
We in the same game, so we fuckin' related
When I bleed, you bleed, man cut all the hatred...
Cause I won't stop 'til we winnin'
'Til we on top and my whole team fitted
'Til we all drive drops, no bummy ass civics
Told those critics, one day we' gon' get it
How you gon' front? Shit, how you gon' doubt me
When you don't really know nothin' about me
You sound dumb, but you really want clown me
'Til you find out about the buzz that surrounds me
Now you wanna chill, and now you wanna talk
Now you wanna build and now you wanna call
Me and tryn' get involved, but I'm way too gone
You had your chance, why'd you wait so long?
Ah, I don't wanna blame you though
But you the same dude that tried to change me though
Look, I told ya'll from the muhfuckin' jump
All the dollars in the world couldn't change my flows...
19 started off as an intern
This game insane, I been learned
Everybody gon' fuck you
But when you get hot everybody gon' love you
Everybody try to hug you
When you hit that stage, everybody want touch you
I don't trust you, I know too much
That's why I never let 'em get close to us
Now I see the snakes in the grass
I learned a whole lot from mistakes in my past
Do what you love in this life
Don't be like everybody that's chasing the cash
That's how you end up in the bed with the wrong one
You might win for a little but you lose in the long run
Better save those chips once when you make that hit, then you gone son
Not me, I'm tryn' have a career like Jay-Z
So that means I'll stay when they leave
You lames won't play me
My songs is so GOOD that 'Ye should pay me
Me, all the shit I've been through
All the shit I've done and all the shit I'm into
Made me what I am today
I fell down and got up, you ran away
I looked failure in eyes and I didn't blink
Had a flood on my boat but I didn't sink
While everyone round town told me get a plan B
I just followed my dreams man, I didn't think
Cause I knew that I'd get there one day
No turning back, I ain't taking no lunch breaks
Man, I gotta make ends meat some way
Man, I gotta make ends meat some way
