Believe

I remember being 13, fresh on the scene

Look at me, here I am, still chasing my dream

Now I'm 28, swear I been through 28 teams

My momma always said forget them and worry bout' me

But I invest in my squad, time, money, and heart

Shit ain't never what it seems, but couldn't tell from the start

Had to crop em' out the scene for not playing they part

Now I know what it means when they say it's lonely at the top

Cuz' I'm on my grind, like bad brake pads

Got 199 ways to make cash, 99 problems but a bitch ain't that

Gotta get it, fuck who I make mad

I'm a beast, I'm a giant, I'm a motherfucking monster

Weird Al Yankovic, these niggas straight imposters

Bunch of lazy fugazi haters up in your roster

The niggas that I roll with now, you can't stop us

We getting money now, and they all wanna watch us

I do this for my kids, I ain't never had a father

I learned how to be a man from my momma

And how to smoke marijuana

My granny, she the one who put this music in me

She probably up there with a frown, granny please forgive me

Since you haven't been around, I been feeling empty

And everything I'm not supposed to do just seem to tempt me

Don't know where it began, my brother locked in the pen

I don't fuck with him, put money on his books when I can

Cuz' he still my little bro, even though shit got out of hand

It's like the world on my shoulders, and no one understand

Does it make me less of a man cuz' I sold dope to my mother?

Never tell her I love her, a shitty son and a brother

I got my reasons, but I ain't gon' put em' on blast like that

They still my blood, it's only us, I can't just turn my back

Feel like an old soul, heart of gold, never will you see me fold

Feel like my life the realest story untold

On the path to success, lost on the road

Tired and stressed, risking my neck for my home

If you real you can relate, you ain't this ain't your song

Have a hard time admitting when I'm wrong

Cuz' I do right by everyone, including those who mean me harm
