(Chorus)
It sure looks different at the bottom
I do what I know and I try to make a living
I put my life in the hands of God and I pray that nothing in my life goes wrong
It sure looks different at the bottom
My bare feet been walking on the bottom of the barrel
I try to put my problems behind my back
But eventually I still gotta face all the facts
(Verse 1)
It's my debut like I'm back
But I ain't come back from anything back from anything but the streets
The one's I escaped from
My momma went to heaven back when I was way young
So now I don't have a memory of who I came from
My dad wasn't bad, actually really good
He tried his hardest did the best that he could
He taught me real life lessons
Not that fake stuff you learn in cla** sessions
Now I'm only trying to impress him
Somehow it always ends up with me tryna oppress him
Why I gotta be like that?
I take a punishment, I talk crap behind his back
Little do I know he wonders if I'll take him back
If it wasn't for that man, I wouldn't be sitting here
But I took it all for granted while he stayed sincere
I feel like I will be this way until the kingdom come
I only hope that God forgives me for what I've become
(Bridge)
I'mma make the best of what I can
While I got all of this time on my hands
That's why you came here to listen to me today
Cause I'm putting in work, I'm well on my way baby
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
I made a few friends, but I lost some too
Cause people don't care that they matter to you
The moment that you stop providing
Stop handing money over
Start thing that you are real homes, not true
Became an outcast while the old group grew
They joined the football team, actually got a crew
I really don't care though
They ain't going nowhere
I'm out here steady grinding
While they just dream of
Having money and cars and chains and things
I'm just dreaming that my dad's last years are worth living
Tryna make my whole family proud of me
What I came up to be, what I aspire to be
That I make enough cash to fulfill their dreams
That I pa** on to my kids the best legacy
Not staying at the bottom, looking up and wishing for another chance to get it lucky and not doing a single damn thing about it
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
