I told my mama, watch out, one day I'll be famous
The ones who doubted, see I'm up, I know they hate it
I take a look into my past and see I made it
I got my family out the bottom of the basement
I told my mama, watch out, one day I'll be famous
You finna see my name on every stage
I know my time is coming, ready for the changes
To get my family out the bottom of the basement
In my city, they was hatin' for no reason
Now I'm blowin' up, they're changin' like the season
I'm so grateful that my mama's here to see this
Cus I'm doin' this for her, I know she need it
I told my baby girl to never stress
Cus I promised her I'd get her all the best things
It seemed that I could never get ahead
As a child I had vivid dreams of Jetstreams
Family struggled, gotta help em, gotta get rich
No, my father wasn't there to help me get this
Younger brothers were too young to understand this
I came up from nothin', no one could've planned this
I told my mama, watch out, one day I'll be famous
The ones who doubted, see I'm up, I know they hate it
I take a look into my past and see I made it
I got my family out the bottom of the basement
I told my mama, watch out, one day I'll be famous
You finna see my name on every stage
I know my time is coming, ready for the changes
To get my family out the bottom of the basement
People used to tell me I should give up
I should stay in school and make the big bucks
Didn't care in school, my mind was on the music
Cause I always had a feeling I could do this
Thank you, mama, for supporting me
Doing this for all the times that you couldn't afford to eat
And I can't forget my future wife
I was nothin' till you came and made my future bright
Had no father in my home
Mama raised us on her own now
Remember we couldn't afford coats
Used to cry when it got cold out
I told my mama, watch out, one day I'll be famous
The ones who doubted, see I'm up, I know they hate it
I take a look into my past and see I made it
I got my family out the bottom of the basement
I told my mama, watch out, one day I'll be famous
You finna see my name on every stage
I know my time is coming, ready for the changes
To get my family out the bottom of the basement
