I grew up a f*ckin' screw up Some niggas eat the devils fruit other niggasGet chewed up
The world shit me out ain't even clean theResidue up
Still know I'm the shit though I'm still climbinOut the sewer
Am I tryna run away or do I aim to changeMy view up
Been sleepin' on myself lately I blame my medulla
Ma your lil' angel gave you hellI know we gon' have fewer days
I pray you see me make it beforeMove you through them gates
A dream is just a dreamUntil the plan get put in play
I believe it I've been scheming build my ladderJump the gate
My mind sat around me to keep me from seeing how I Could lead the way
Through the treachery show em all that they Can do the same yeah
Look
I was lost tryna get love from niggas who hate they own mind
Teachers told me write them lil' song's on my own time
Kicked a verse whenever the squad formed like Voltron
Back then I did it for the love not a co-sign
Pray the rose see the day it grow from the pavement
Opportunity gon' knock don't fall asleep in the basement
Graduated from complaints and disciplined in some patience
God put that dog in him some of them sheep see relation
Loner by nature don't want no handouts don't want no favors
Don't want your paper don't want your place I don't want your neighbors
Don't want your hoes don't want your safe I don't want your anger
Don't want your life I want what's mine interfere and I'm gon' take it
