Uh
Uh
One man's pain can be another man's gain (true)
I'm takin' all measures to prepare for this to rain (uh-huh)
Some things ain't work out, seen it goin' down the drain
But I'm still here, and I remain (I remain)
Broken up homes from poverty and the drugs
Families feelin' generational pain from hot slugs
Uncles, brothers, fathers locked up, the hood is rough
To make it out, you gotta be mentally tough (focused)
Used to feel like I was runnin' circles around
Endless nights hustlin', tryna get this thing off the ground (endless nights)
Doin' somethin' with myself to make my grandmamas proud
Yo, I hope she look down and smile (real talk)
Cash make the world go round and round
That's why I'm makin' my rounds
Dependin' on people ain't gon' get you around
It's best you straighten your crown
Yo, it's just the way that I was built
Had to frame amount to rise above the filth
Wildly skilled
But I could see my records climb more high than Will's
Some guys were killed
On the sidewalk, a lot of lives were spilled
I know people who ain't even survivin', got survival skills
That's why I chill
Never saw no rapper on my elk
Like you ain't seen your pops
When he hit the store to go and buy some milk
C'mon man, I used to hold my mom's hand
Growin' up was tough and we comin' from a foreign land
My dad was up and wall bounced the first time
He said he caught a head rush
Taught me when I eat to never leave a piece of bread crust
Depression mentality
The fuck is expiration dates?
Rather eat the stale food
Than see that money go to waste
I used to wait
Movin' at a slower pace
Thinkin' somebody would rescue me
Dropped jewels and sold away
Had to self-motivate
Now I know my place
As one of the greatest
Pound for pound, goin' town to town

I see myself rockin' the biggest crowds, yo
