Momma told me
Not to sell work
Or I'ma be in the back of a cop car or a hearse
I never take it personal when people give advice
Never felt I had to prove if I was wrong or I was right
Only time I ever feel I'm outta place is outta spite
But I been fighting for my life for what feel like all my life
Conclusion to the intro
All the struggling I did before just a memento
I'm gaining momentum
I made it there and then some
Can I get a witness
The man about his business
I need it all and then some
Get up out the way
While I'm tryna find a way
Don't be speaking on my name
Then come try to ride my wave
This is not a game
I got tired of getting played
Nothing Was the Same
And I pray I sell the same
From thinking I would never find a way to living decent
Now I'm beaming
Cause I found a meaning and it pays
Tables start turning
Things started working
Ask me was it worth it
I'm telling you it's perfect
Dug up out my grave
The rose out the pavement
All I ever hear from everybody is be patient
But they done lost count of all them years that they been waiting
So I'm saying
You crazy if you think I got a shot and ain't gone take it
Money ain't gone change me
You know how long we without
20 dollars, 7 days, tryna feed 8 mouths
Tryna play it cool but you don't know what I done been through
That's none of your business
I ain't taking it personal
Now every time I look into the mirror I see a gold mine
Jaleii already asking me daddy when is it showtime
When is it gone be your time
Promise baby in no time
You just keep on doing what you do cause you my sunshine
Praying for some peace on my journey to a piece
They be throwing salt but I prefer sand on a beach
Sipping on mimosas
Cooler than Travolta
All I ever did was hold it down like I was suppose to
Tables start turning
Things started working
Ask me was it worth it
I'm telling you it's perfect
