Hey, hey, hey, hey
Yeah
Hey, hey
Uh
I met this girl the other day that wanna know my story
She said since the world against me , she all for me
I told her God mustve overheard my hopeful wishin
Crazy how I never wouldve thought to be in this position
Cause see, 'Hip-hop saved my life' is such a cliché quote
But before I grabbed the mic, I was the poster-child of broke, uh
Signed my first deal off the realest shit I wrote
I told my city Im the closest thing to hope
Used to be barely above water, now I float
Same bitches in my DMs used to take me for a joke
Niggas talk cold shit behind my back, then call me bro
Like bro, you gotta match one before you blow
I always leave the message on seen cause I dont smoke
When really I dont **** with half these niggas on the low
And thats just how it go
She go, ' Damn, nigga, thats deep,' I know, tell me about it
My life be full of stress, fake niggas, and sleep deprivin like uh
Dreams, all my shit been colossal though
Used to be honor roll, now its foreign whips Im riding on
Now everything I flow hot as ****, I mean poblano though
Me and Lute posed to been did this shit, its perfect timing though
Remember us being younger, talking about gettin signed to Cole?
I was so hot-headed then, Im a lot calmer though
Tryna buy me a brick house when I get comma though
Money gon help with a lot of things but not the trauma though
Had so many adventure times, we used to run from the jakes
To make it for Southside, we do whatever it takes
It was apartheid when my barber parted my fade
Cause now Im pulled left and right by Keshia and Adrinae
All this shit gets so deep, man, Im hoping yall dive in
I dont **** with surviving, Im only thinkin bout thriving
But you way too afraid, yeah, I know what your vibe is
Always worried bout me, that shit must be sleep depriving
That shit must be sleep depriving
I aint never had nothin, yeah, I had to work for it
Prayed to God every day, even went to church for it
Built from the ground up, played in the dirt for it
God told me it would work out, I took His word for it
We all come from a very different path
Look at what we been through, look at where we at
Got em losing sleep worried bout what we on
Said I wouldnt make it but I always prove wrong, yeah
Yeah
Turned into a big deal, but way realer than Black Friday
They let a visionary vibrate
Hoppin through the Tri-State
I got this bird box simply off a blind date
Now Im in a tryin state
Turn into a horror story
Broke my heart to the point I had to find tape
Spraying Lysol, sage, just to wipe her away like eternal sunshine
Pulled up in a drop spot, listen, summertime
Seen you with some other guy, long story, summarize
Writing on the wall, got your message underlined
Ive been gettin high, summer crime, ever since
Wonder why ill intent was inside of your skin, but damn
Dookey braids, droopy eyes, it was groupie love
Hurt feelings, no cap like bougie clubs
Sat alone deep in silence
Thinkin bout you gettin sleep deprivin, yeah
I aint never had nothin, yeah, I had to work for it
Prayed to God every day, even went to church for it
Built from the ground up, played in the dirt for it
God told me it would work out, I took His word for it
We all come from a very different path
Look at what we been through, look at where we at
Got em losing sleep worried bout what we on
Said I wouldnt make it but I always prove wrong, yeah
