I remember them dark days like yesterday
Couldn't afford a can of food
Now Im living on my own
Spill the pain that I have when I'm stepping in the booth
I seen so much
Kept it real so much
See myself in the mirror
Can't lose my touch
When your stuck in the mud
And the problems piling up
So you don't give a f*ck
And your brain about to erupt
Lets go
Keep grinding for the day
Got money in the bank
Not from loose change
Not selling rock
Not f*cking with the cops
Just stacking dollars and a dream
Claw to the top
In my soul
I give it all that I got
Sleepless nights making sure that I won't flop
Got to pick yourself up when hells hot cut the demons head off cause he is what your not
Living through them hard times of mine I'm built for pain
Look outside my window and all I see is rain
F*ck that constant battle I faced when I felt alone
Glad I kept my head up and found my antidote
I remember them dark days
Like I couldnt getaway
Question why I live like this?
Mum on the welfare
Dad on a hellpath
Are we gonna make it through?
We living our lives to the fullest
They away from the drug dealing side and the bullets
Wish upon the stars
I be the one with a gold chain
No bootleg
Keep it real from the start
So not today
While I'm busy climbing to the top
I got to set myself up
Getting dough on the regular
I spent years being broke
Not cause of weed smoke
Stimulated high in the cellular
It took many years
Even dread many tears
But Im still here
Got to start a buzz each year
F*ck working at a dead end job
Rather better things coming
Than who I got to rob
Keep grinding for the day
Got money in the bank
Not from loose change
Not selling rock
Not f*cking with the cops
Just stacking dollars and a dream
Claw to the top
In my soul
I give it all that I got
Sleepless nights making sure that I won't flop
Got to pick yourself up when hells hot cut the demons head off cause he is what your not
Spending all these years tryna find myself
Sitting down in a world so cold
Spending all this time tryna find my wealth
Digging in the mines looking for gold in my soul
Its a hard place to find love
Look inside my mental
The chip on the shoulder build the fundamental
Look around me things change at a slower pace
Stacking up the food on my plate
Thats real talk tho
This a 10 year flow
Biting on my tongue
No platform for my flow
I started at the bottom now I got the landlord dancing in his household
Burning up the booth
While I'm speaking of the truth
I speak to those in the same shoes
I would never knew how to win
If I never felt what its like to lose
Living through them hard times of mine I'm built for pain
Look outside my window and all I see is rain
F*ck that constant battle I faced when I felt alone
Glad I kept my head up and found my antidote
