[Hook] Because Hip Hop is all I have Through the good and through the bad And all I got is paper on this pad So hope for a chance Grinding trying to get my goals accomplished Because nothing in this world is ever promised Because Hip Hop is all I have Through the good and through the bad And all I got is paper on this pad So hope for a chance Grinding trying to get my goals accomplished Because nothing in this world is ever promised All I want to do is make music all day All I want to do is make music all day All I want to do is make music all day All I want to do is make music [Verse 1] See I was Sixteen, three hundred and sixty three days old When this story that that I'm about to tell unfolds A hard headed youngin' thugging just a little bit Robbing people for the guap hitting licks and stealing sh** Yea we was wild when this son was into gun play But I knew karma would catch up with us one day So when I would rob Man I'm going bankrupt ran up on them hit em Grabbed his wallet and then we ran off Ran off a few blocks before I lose steam Wishing I didn't quit the hoop team Because then I would be able to run Without running out of breath We ran three blocks then we turned and make a left Said "chill bruh we good" till my heart skipped a beat And that's when I looked And seen police rolling down the street Tried to run but they got us I knew it was a wrap after that Sitting in the cop car hands cuffed behind my back Knew I wasn't coming back for a minute That meant I wouldn't kick it But above it all that rap sh** was finished At least for a minute but to take up time I would sit inside my cell chill and make up rhymes Banging beats on the wall And I battled some cats They like, "damn bruhs white but he go at it with raps" But couldn't wait to come home Because for the first time I knew what exactly I wanted to do [Hook] Because Hip Hop is all I have Through the good and through the bad And all I got is paper on this pad So hope for a chance Grinding trying to get my goals accomplished Because nothing in this world is ever promised Because Hip Hop is all I have Through the good and through the bad And all I got is paper on this pad So hope for a chance Grinding trying to get my goals accomplished Because nothing in this world is ever promised All I want to do is make music all day All I want to do is make music all day All I want to do is make music all day All I want to do is make music [Verse 2] See some people call it luck And then some people call it patience This is what I call a product of authentic dedication I give my heart to music and I give my life to it So if they hate I'm charging right Through it, I knew it all along Till then everything I dreamed about would happen Build a future have the music but I'm doing it with this rapping And beats that I'm making crossing fingers that I make it Cause nobody owes you sh** So you gotta go and take it See my foots on the pedal I'll never ever stop cause just because I get signed Doesn't mean I made it to the top But I do it for the love so there's nothing you can tell me I'll never see defeat just like I got a big belly And I got that from fifth props to him man he already But since we on the topic of the folks that have helped me Give props where they due P O J B A B two Serious but most of all yall the fans I thank you [Hook] Because Hip Hop is all I have Through the good and through the bad And all I got is paper on this pad So hope for a chance Grinding trying to get my goals accomplished Because nothing in this world is ever promised Because Hip Hop is all I have Through the good and through the bad And all I got is paper on this pad So hope for a chance Grinding trying to get my goals accomplished Because nothing in this world is ever promised All I want to do is make music all day All I want to do is make music all day All I want to do is make music all day All I want to do is make music
