I Made This Road

Been through the struggle, paid dues with my life

Cards on the table, it's my game, so you better fold

I made this road

My blood, sweat, and tears pouring like burning liquor

I'm on that new shit, and you'll always be on the old

I paved this road

I made this road

With both feet on the ground, one step at a time

My aim is on point, and I'm going for mine

Spitting hit after hit, drop 'em every season

Change the games as we know it, now they all wanna be 'em

I'm not standing for nothing, I wouldn't fight to the death

Your words got fire makes me wish I was dead

I live it line for line, every rhyme for rhyme

The top was wide open, so I made it all mine

Take a shot at the boss, your career is a loss

Hell, a billion dollar budget couldn't fix what you burst

So take it back to the start and look deep in your heart

'Cause y'all don't have what it takes to make a place on these charts

Been through the struggle, paid dues with my life

Cards on the table, it's my game, so you better fold

I made this road

My blood, sweat, and tears pouring like burning liquor

I'm on that new shit, and you'll always be on the old

I paved this road

I made this road

I made this road

No genre can hold the sound in my soul

See what I become is more precious than gold

The value's unknown 'cause it's never been done

But I know that it's hot, it shines bright as the sun

I've been there and won most things that you dreamed

Crossed over crossovers and shit on mainstream

I fight for a team whose struggle is real

The future was uncertain as a 360 deal

We delivered the proof and paved our own lane

We took what was ours and gave up the fame

We planted a name and built it to grow

We call it the future, you know it as Smo

Been through the struggle, paid dues with my life

Cards on the table, it's my game, so you better fold

I made this road (I made this road)
