I done been in cars that was shot up, I'm a survivor
I done stood on corners for hours, ain't make a dollar
Filled up so many apps, never got hired
Used to write so many raps, I felt inspired
By Jadakiss, State Prop, Major Figgas
While n***as ball I sit and watched, I played the bench
Was running sprints
Cops came I jumped the fence, I was young as sh**
Mom talking bout punishment, man that's s**a sh**
Told my a** to stay in the house and I said f** that sh**
Told me not to hang with them guys and I still hung with them, told me to keep my head in the books, was on some other sh**
Was tryna double sh**
f** the money and the fame, this that struggle sh**
This for all my young n***as out there hustling
Learn how to tuck your sh**
Learn how to bust that sh**, man I come from sh**
I'd rather get my a** whopped I never run from sh**
If I could have one wish
I'd call Ream and tell him all about this sh**
All about my b**h, all about my trips
And them designers sneaks we talked about, I copped them sh**s
Remember that b**h we used to stalk, Oh yeah I f**ed that b**h
This that cut-throat sh**
This that up top sh**
This that we don't do no talking we gon bust Glocks quick
We gon bust Glocks quick, for real
(Chorus)
I go off, I show off
I sold weed, I sold juice
I sold pills, sold it all
I had packs, by my boss
I go off, times was hard
Mom struggled, had no job
Sold me dreams, told me lies
Strange guy, all the time
Almost cried, almost died
In the gutter, I survived
And this barrel, yeah I climbed
To the top, yeah I rise
Made mistakes, I can't lie
Ran game, I can't lie
Got pain, I can't lie
sh** I changed, I can't lie
I guess this is a new chapter
It's f**ed up cause we was just at the Stu laughing
f**ed up, cause we was just rolling woods happy
Last time I seen you, you and Jeff was in that wheel crafty
I know you looking down like ''Gwan get that deal rapping"
I know you up there with Reem playing 2K snapping
When you see him tell him I became a real rapper
Yeah, and a n***a out here still snapping
(Chorus)
