I've been running on smoke
Gasoline burning down my throat
Pray to God that I just don't choke
I've been running on smoke
Tearing down myself it's not joke
Working 20 hour days just so I can get paid off smoke
What you know growing up broke
Two parents from afar
Immigrant life it's so hard
See the smoke
That's my drive burning through the drought
Pray to God that I don't slow down
I'm so hungry for success
But I know I can't rest
Till I make it to my dreams
Wishing I could get some cream
See my mom
She be working harder than me
And my dad putting food up on my plate
Just to I can get a taste
And now my body breaking down
Insomniac nights until the day strikes
Through the blinds where I see all my dreams
Big house nice car and a wife and kids through the smoke
I've been running on smoke
Gasoline burning down my throat
Pray to God that I just don't choke
I've been running on smoke
Tearing down myself it's not joke
Working 20 hour days just so I can get paid off smoke
What you know growing up broke
Two parents from afar
Immigrant life it's so hard
See the smoke
That's my drive burning through the drought
Pray to God that I don't slow down
Man I can't slow down
Put the pressure on now
Speeding fast to get paid
Working hard through the day
Through the smoke where I see myself I can't choke
I've been running on smoke
What you know about the broke life in the D
That's something I can say
And the smoke burn my lungs
And the air ain't clean
But my heart keeps beating and beating
Won't quit till my dream through the smoke
Where I end up one day
I've been running on smoke
Gasoline burning down my throat
Pray to God that I just don't choke
I've been running on smoke
Tearing down myself it's not joke
Working 20 hour days just so I can get paid off smoke
What you know growing up broke
Two parents from afar
Immigrant life it's so hard
See the smoke
That's my drive burning through the drought
Pray to God that I don't slow down
