Started off with nothing
Turned that to a lot
Them other niggas quit
But I will never stop
I always kept it real although it pays to lie
All those who choose to ride I kept right by my side
Them haters want to see me dead or facing felonies
Can't stand to see a young nigga go out and live his dreams
Since I was younger knew I was destined for greater things
Went from the block straight to the top just like Kareem, THE DREAM
A stubborn nigga with a hard head
I never listened to a motherf*cking thing they said
Told me my future was some prison bars facing the feds
Or in a grave with a couple bullets in my head
All my dreams they tried to kill quick
F*ck em I'm still here, early age learned not to feel shit
Them niggas hate but they secretly love this real shit
I admit sometimes its too much to deal with
See what we were taught as lil ones
Is how to take a lil white rock and turn it into millions
Can't pay attention to the thoughts of the civilians
Cuz they ain't gone be the ones feeding your hungry children
I put my life into some songs my uncle put me on
It's family over everything nigga don't get it wrong
It's money over everything that be under that
And DNE is the team bitch remember that
Started off with nothing
Turned that to a lot
Them other niggas quit
But I will never stop
I always kept it real although it pays to lie
All those who choose to ride I kept right by my side
Them haters want to see me dead or facing felonies
Can't stand to see a young nigga go out and live his dreams
Since I was younger knew I was destined for greater things
Went from the block straight to the top just like Kareem, THE DREAM
Simply put homie they been defeated
The same day they started hating they started believing
Can't be afraid to fail that's apart of achieving
And when them people see you shining it's harder to please em
F*ck it this the game a nigga chose to play
The only difference is the price a nigga chose to pay
I put my life right on the line like every single day
I'm gone make sure that I get mine in every single way
With every breath I take until my last step
I'll give it everything I got until nothing is left
How in the f*ck can you believe with no belief in self
What is the purpose to pretend when you can be yourself
I would never compromise what I stand for
I made my own path I ain't knock on they damn door
I didn't like the future that they gave me and made one
Just look at where the f*ck I done came from
Started off with nothing
Turned that to a lot
Them other niggas quit
But we will never stop
We always kept it real although it pays to lie
All those who choose to ride We kept right by our side
Them haters want to see us dead or facing felonies
Can't stand to see some young niggas go out and live they dreams
Since we were younger knew we were destined for greater things
Went from the block straight to the top just like Kareem , THE DREAM Nigga
