[Intro]
I feel like I'm better off this time around
This time last year boy I was down
No cash no way no how
No love no ins no outs, yeah
Look, to the point where it was now or never
But I always knew I'd be bound to get it
If you want it bad enough let it go for a minute
Then if it come back to you it's yours forever
[Verse 1]
Did all for mama told her that we'd see better days
She gon get that Bentley if it k** me on everything
I just want you happy not too into the finer things
You like then I love it just help out with some bills at least
Put some food in that fridge be a man to them kids
You already got two of them sh** it is what it is
Expecting me to find it's way I'm guessing that's what he did
We back like remix so throw it back like flea-flicker cause
[Hook]
I know where I've been but I'm focused on where I'm going
I never gave in cause I know that these things take time
My story my struggle all made me who I am now
No worries no regrets cause I know that these things take time
[Verse 2]
So pop it for that n***a never quitting on his dream
Even though he got a long way to go
Be careful who you call your homies
Man everybody got motives on my mama life these n***as is old
Imagine being that n***a who made it up out the gutter
And all of a sudden your enemies your cousins and brothers
Who knew that you would succeed but it didn't happen when they wanted to
Then you over achieve now they preaching to you be humble
But a shame on em
Claim I ain't the same on homie
I'll take the blame for it really I ain't changed on em
I just outgrew you n***as you wanted just a name homie
What I got to do to prove I'm trying to I'm trying to pave a way homie
More than just a trend, just a thing, just a wave homie
But it's tough love we can do it, we can bang homie
Toe to toe, blow for blow n***a gang, gang, gang
Homie bet I walk away big tuck not a stain on me look
[Bridge]
I really feel for you n***as, I really fear for you n***as
When it's bout hoes, when it's bout shows, that's when I hear from you n***as
When I gave clothes, when I gave food damn near real for you n***as
Risked my career for you n***as I brought my kid round you n***as
My mama's crib with you n***as
When I broke bread with you n***as
Broke with no bread with you n***as I made it clear to you n***as
That if I got it then it's yours and you still sh** on me n***a
But knowing me through it all I'll still be there for you n***as
Cause I'm the realest n***a ever ain't no if,ands, or booties
Extra seasoning at Rudy's that was back when I knew it
Wasn't no budget from no job was really rappin for food
Awe yeah cause music saved my soul no matter what we been through
Man I done lost a couple n***as ever since we been on
But I can't focus on the fake, gotta forgive and move on
Understand that when it's work that certain things get prolonged
So don't f** up the high
b**h don't f** up the zone cause
[Hook]
I know where I've been but I'm focused on where I'm going
I never gave in cause I know that these things take time
My story my struggle all made me who I am now
No worries no regrets cause I know that these things take time
These things take time
These things take time
These things take time
