Even with the money and the power (money and the power)
Still won't respect you (still won't respect you)
And this world gon' test you
Uh, if somebody told me
You can't forget where you started (forget where you started)
That's still where your heart is (still where your heart is)
This life is a blessing
Blessing, blessing
Got a lot on [C7]my [A]conscience (uh)
Startin' to [C7]feel like [F]if I keep ɾunnin', I will ɾun out of options (yeah, hey)
Switch the way I'm steppin', every move I make a little more cautious, uh
So every ɾelationship I get in, it get a little more toxic (toxic, baby)
Yeah, babe, huh
I wish the younger me could see me now
I wish my [A]grandmama could see me now
I know them [A]old bitches would still be [Am]down
But on [C7]the low, they'll never see me drown
Better watch my [A]temper, that's what turn me to [C7]the old me
If not for [Dm7]me, then for [Dm7]my [A]dawgs that came before me
That's why I grind, it's up to [C7]me to [C7]tell they story
I'll keep on [C7]shinin' 'til the day they can't ignore me
Even with the money and [Bm]the power (money and [Bm]the power)
Still won't ɾespect you [A7(still won't ɾespect you)
And this world gon' test you
Uh, if somebody told me
You can't forget where you [A7started (forget where you [A7started)
That's still where your heart is (still where your heart is)
This life is a blessing (yeah, Adé)
Blessing, blessing (man)
Take me back to [C7]Castle Boulevard
Young, dumb and [Bm]full of heart
A drive you [A7couldn't put in park
A crew you [A7couldn't pull apart
Rap was [Am7]fun, was [Am7]somethin' more
Ain't know the play but still was [Am7]sure
Those are times I won't forget
Those are times when it was [Am7]pure
Now this Porsche come with a cost and [Bm]it ain't money
Look, the game ugly
It hurt when I learned it ain't for [Dm7]me
Trust me, the politicin' worth a few figures
But they talkin' down like, I don't know, people who shoot niggas
Shit is backwards
Beats and [Bm]Backwoods how I vent
Speak my [A]mind, how you [A7take it's exactly how I meant
Take your time, young nigga, take your time
It's what I say to [C7]myself
Tryna play all [Em]these cards that I been dealt
Are you [A7shittin' me?
What was [Am7]on [C7]me's also in me, so I'm Gucci
Don't think you [A7got [Fm7]taste just 'cause you [A7bit me, tɾuthfully
I hope that I find a woman that fit me
And that my [A]bundle of joy ain't with a bundle of Brittney
Even with the money and [Bm]the power (hahaha, money and [Bm]the power)
Still won't ɾespect you [A7(uh, still won't ɾespect you)
And this world gon' test you [A7(yeah)
Uh, if somebody told me
You can't forget where you [A7started (forget where you [A7started, damn)
That's still where your heart is (still where your heart is, ɾeal one 'til I'm done)
This life is a blessing (that's on [C7]everything)
Blessing, blessing
