I cannot lie
I used to stay up and cry
For times that we didn’t have a lot
I kept my head on my shoulders
They tried to play me to the left
But I knew I was right
I knew one day I would figure it out
And one day it’d be me and gang sitting at the top
Funny the way that things change
It won’t be the same
Hard to trust so I’m clutching my Glock
But I won’t let em get me
Lonely just me and my 50
They know that Queso never slipping
Strictly bout business
Running up digits
For days it was me and bro rolling up midget
Knew I had to get it
Tables turnеd ma went and left us
And I ain’t have food on my platе
I came in the game a lil late
But I made something shake
Now they know me when they hear my name
Fly state to state
Hop off jet to plane
To stage to a check bitch I’m paid
That bitch wanna fuck cause I’m up
Told her get out my face
I been grinding
I’m getting to this cake
Better watch what you say
I be in the cut with the killas
With sticks that’ll knock off ya face
I knew that one day I would make it out
Had to be patient
I’m still reminiscing those days
Just me and bro
Whipping that pot on the stove
Hit the block and make 50 a bowl
Nowhere to go
Really we ain’t even care
If you test one of us we gone blow
I ride for my brother
That means I die by my brother
No switching won’t ride for no other
Fresh out the gutter
Really it’s just me and bro
We had brought this shit straight outta nothing
To be honest I’m speaking the life that I’m living
They pray imma fault
But I’ll never give up
I know at times it gets hard
You gotta keep pushing
Cause diamonds gets made in the rough
Thumb through a check for the days that said I wouldn’t make it
It looks like I’m running it up
I finally feel like I made it out
Know they gone hate it
Was down now I feel like I’m up
I gotta get it
Stacking shoe boxes to the ceiling
With rubber bands stacked to the top
I’m steadily working no stop
Been catching these plays
Since I was 13 on the block
I cannot fold on the fam
If you touch one of mine
Then my shoota gone knock off ya top
I seen my unc dead in that bed
It still fuck with my head
Demons talking I wish they would stop
You do not know how it feels
To kidnap and execute opps
That shit gives you the chills
I seen my bro switch bout a penny
Don’t care bout my feelings
So really it is what it is
I’m punching in
It’s my time I been waiting
I know that one day the hating gotta stop
They be 2 faced
They be focused on hating too much
And they swear they real
I know they not
I’m one of the greatest
You just gotta face it
To be honest don’t know why they hating
Grew up masked up around haciens
Don’t see competition
Im up in the ranking
I faught for the spot that I got
It’s lonely when you at the top
I found a way to get paid
They hate that I’m coming up
Cause they know that I won’t stop
To be honest I’m speaking the life that I’m living
They pray imma fault
But I’ll never give up
I know at times it gets hard
You gotta keep pushing
Cause diamonds gets made in the rough
Thumb through a check for the days that said I wouldn’t make it
It looks like I’m running it up
I finally feel like I made it out
Know they gone hate it
Was down now I feel like I’m up
