[Intro]
I'm a young n***a who just live life, I done seen so much sh** just from the very bottom
And it was just always about, grindin' and gettin' it out the mud for me
I just want a n***a to know what I thought, I got an opportunity
It's way bigger than me cause you know God put a n***a in a position for a reason
[Verse 1]
I was deep like in the street life
Was on my grind so I didn't sleep nights
Used to push rocks out on my block
Saw police lights, I heard the gunshots
I had nowhere to go
At the end of the road
Had to do something fast
Now I ain't running no more
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I found the light at the end of the tunnel
That's why I kept my head high
Instead of sellin' my faith
Sittin' here wishin' I would die
[Chorus]
Living in hell on earth
Dead last so I couldn't see first
But I know it wouldn't get worse, so it only got better
Better and it's getting better
Living in hell on earth
Dead last so I couldn't see first
But I know it wouldn't get worse, so it only got better
Better and it's getting better
[Verse 2]
‘Cause I knew one day that life would get better
Finally made a way so now it's all better
‘Cause I knew one day that life would get better
Finally made a way so now it's all better, yeah
[Outro]
My n***a half the city mind is the only way to survive is k**
And that may mean protecting myself or I'mma come up
It's shoot em up bang bang on every n***a, ya dig? It's my squad against yours
And a lot of n***as got that mentality thinkin' you know, that's the way to come up, that's New Orleans
