Yeah look
I was the one in the classes
Youngin but making it happen
Two up two down to Manhattan
Never had Gucci or Louie Dior
But this music I swear that I did it in fashion
Don't gotta rush I got hours in this and you know that I'm really bout action
Can't believe that they counted me out now we running up numbers
Just how I knew it would happen
Don't gotta cap to be fitted
I'm made for whatever I'm living
When I die put my name wit the best of em just to inspire the rest of my city
They don't know what we had to endure
A youngin was sleeping on floors
Went to all states but god had us ensured
Rapping at boys and girls clubs on the tour
Round the same time parents got a divorce
Honestly really what made me mature
We had to pick locks just to get through the door
They hate and say did he? They know I'm a bad boy
I been on since I was 16
If they was hot they been losing they steam
I was quiet she thought I was shy went from watching the throne to being the king
Came from the bottom yeah I paid a price they couldn't afford it
I had to build from the ground I never could let em destroy it
They said that they hard ain't cut from my cloth it's a hole in they story
I'm living my dream I gotta thank God and give em the glory
Came from the bottom yeah I paid a price they couldn't afford it
I had to build from the ground I never could let em destroy it
They said that they hard ain't cut from my cloth it's a hole in they story
I'm living my dream I gotta thank God and give em the glory
Y'all OGs not leading the way I swear they just get in y'all way
I remember when Tob gave the platform and give me the power I almost got carried away
It was major when I got minor verse if I can be honest that's back when he gave me the game
All of the ones that was hating they looking like Jordan cause they just been fading away
I gotta thank God mmmm mmmm
I don't look like what I been through
Va be the folk that I tend too
Know I skate when I give em this new new
They know I'm a bad boy they tryna keep up they huffing and puffing
We made it from scratch from nothing to something
I'm loving the person life got me becoming
I got my rib when I'm hitting my prime I know a lot at steak
Can hate it or love it this not a game
I'm living wit Elvis a land of grace
I'm living my dream so I smile
We went from pennys to proud
He removed all my stains so I stay wit a shout
Get use to the kid cause I'm sticking around
Came from the bottom yeah I paid a price they couldn't afford it
I had to build from the ground I never could let em destroy it
They said that they hard ain't cut from my cloth it's a hole in they story
I'm living my dream I gotta thank God and give em the glory
Came from the bottom yeah I paid a price they couldn't afford it
I had to build from the ground I never could let em destroy it
They said that they hard ain't cut from my cloth it's a hole in they story
I'm living my dream I gotta thank God and give em the glory
