I came from the dirt, I came from the country You see it on the TV; never think that you could touch it Nose in the mirror, dreams of something bigger Snakes in my yard, spotters in the kitchen Dinner in swimmer's, drought every summer Cane in the evening, smoke stacks, over SunSafe Stacks making up beds, cleaning with my mother Catching trains to the city, chasing fame, who's winning? I can't say, but I'm in this Got myself a ticket to the sky, wave goodbye And I pack my mother's kisses All these haters well-wishing, hoping I'll be back by Christmas But unless I do what's promised you won't see my face around this b**h Dropped out of high school, planning was crucial All my teachers don't believe me, said they'll see me next cycle They don't have the drive that I do, the heart that I do Scared but I'm fearless cause I don't got sh** to lose I want it
