John Riley - Self Made Lyrics

At first they never thought of me
But when I went out and won the lottery
Woah- oh- oh
That's when they put their heart in me
Thinking I'll come back and fix their artery
Now you come back
After talking all that smack
After saying I was wack
Cuz I made it on a track
But when I needed help
You just put me on the shelf
I had to make it by myself
Now I have all of this wealth
Man I'm self made
Been that way since first grade
Where were you when I got strayed
Yeah you never gave me aid
Now it's been a whole decade
And your back, what delayed
Is it cuz I'm getting paid
Don't tell me I'm getting played
Of course I am you're not fam
You just like me on the gram
Following me like a lamb
All this love your tryna cram
You don't truly give a damn
Me you are just tryna scam
I don't care your in a jam
So was I, so you can scram
At first they never thought of me
But when I went out and won the lottery
Woah- oh- oh
That's when they put their heart in me
Thinking I'll come back and fix their artery
I don't really understand
Why you don't give me a hand
All this time you were bland
Now you come back you are grand
You had all of this planned
Now you're just here for my land
It is time I take a stand
You are out, you are banned
Now is when your nice
When I have this paradise
When I'm living life with spice
Where was your sacrifice
When I needed your advice
I begged you twice, even thrice
But you were cold as ice
Now you're gonna pay the price
At first they never thought of me
But when I went out and won the lottery
Woah- oh- oh
That's when they put their heart in me
Thinking I'll come back and fix their artery
I did this all alone
I did this on my own
I was never shown
No one picked up the phone
I was in my zone
How I made it ain't known
No way you can clone
But you're here for my throne
I was going fast, while you were going slow
I was outcast, I was living real low
For your help I asked, but you would never show
But that was in the past, so I just let it go
Look what I've amassed, I'm rapping with this flow
Now with me you last, looking for the dough
For once in contrast, I'll be the one saying no
You're time with me has passed, and that you should know
At first they never thought of me
But when I went out and won the lottery
Woah- oh- oh
That's when they put their heart in me
Thinking I'll come back and fix their artery
Been working on the grind
That's how I got aligned
You left me behind
But now for me you find
Now to me your kind
After I got signed
So you can get refined
But you've already left my mind
What did I say
The price your gonna pay
I don't understand why me you wanna play
When I needed help you were off and away
Me you did betray
You left me out to stray
I had nowhere to stay
And you thought it was okay
Now karmas coming back and she wants to say hey
But at the end of the day
I'll help you out and pray
Just to show you how to live the right way
At first they never thought of me
But when I went out and won the lottery
Woah- oh- oh
That's when they put their heart in me
Thinking I'll come back and fix their artery
