Lyrics
Came up in this game with just a dollar and a dream
And when you finally get it, shit ain't really what it seems
Now ever verse a kilo Like I need a triple beam
They grinding for them hoes, don't even own a single thing
Them labels reaching out, like we got something in common
Before the rap, been doing deals for them commas
Touch that first rollie, got a whole new perspective
And always stayed away from certain niggas, moving reckless
The type of time these niggas on see these niggas crashing out
I'm the one who put this shit together, they be askin' bout
Niggas gave up at the finish line, they white flaggin'
I'm from where they never get passes, this ain't like madden
Every time I elevate, they feelin' like I owe them somethin'
Shoutout to them niggas I was reachin' out who started frontin
Ain't have money, had to find ways
And the nigga had to learn real young that crime pays
The Man Who had everything in the world working against him
Completely ignored the chains that tried to tie him down and made his dream a reality
Had an admirable personality, charisma, and tenacity
A man who could have taken his talents and been anything he set his mind to be
But the life he chose was one of brutality, heartbreak, and despair
And his willingness to live and thrive in a world of crime and violence
Only pick up for a large amount
Don't come around if you chasing clout
Got one chance, so I made it count
If you ain't know, that's what I'm bout
Fuck around and get caught up Niggas out here, petty chasing fame
Abort mission, what you on? Aint built right, nah, we ain't the same
Tryna tear me down, but I built this If it wasn't me, then who did this?
I seized it, then go for it When I fell off, I got back on it
When I was low, I kept hope Cuz deep down, niggas seen it comin'
That fake gang, these niggas runnin'
Nah, nigga up and they can't stomach
Livin' like a movie, and guess who got the last scene
Niggas only come around to benefit or being seen
Aint have money had to find ways
And a nigga had to learn real young that crime pays
Became a rebellious youth who dreamt of bigger and better things
So, he took to the streets with bravado and charisma
Making friends and enemies alike Which, in a way, was his ticket to the life he dreamed of living
A man who won't back down in the face of adversity
No matter the odds that are stacked against him
In everything he does believes himself to be the best
That he's the man, one that anybody would be stupid to even think about messing with
