Every day, day, day, day, I used to wake up and pray
Grandma was fightin' for her life in the hospital, I did not wanna see her that way
I didn't sing, ain't have a thing, ain't wanna ask my mama, I used to rob
They used to tell me, "Lil' boy, get a job", still the same, on [C7]the sofa and [Bm]I used to [C7]nod
Come around clean, come around cool, deep in the stɾeets, thought that was [Am7]a façade
I see my [A]mom and [Bm]them [A]goin' through pain, it f*ck with my [A]brain, I put that on [C7]God
We all [Em]know money can't fix all [Em]the problems, I was [Am7]just tɾyna just put 'em [A]to [C7]end
I saw a lane, I can better and [Bm]change what I do for [Dm7]a livin', and [Bm]now I'm on [C7]ten
At the top of my [A]class, know they thought this would stop in the past
I got [Fm7]twenty mill' comin', the ɾest of the year, payin' six cool, it gotta be [Am]glass
So much, niggas won't stop me, they know they can't stop me, they sista'nem [A]got [Fm7]me on [C7]blast
I'm on [C7]Instagram showin' off bands, I don't know what to [C7]do with the cash
I'ma live everyday like [F]my [A]last, nah, my [A]whip it ain't fast
They been hood mad, I'm thick in the grass
Used to [C7]wake up in the crib, and [Bm]the crib smell like [F]shit
F*ck 'round, might as well live in the tɾap
I ain't never tell my [A]fans that I was [Am7]adopted, but f*ck it, I'm givin' you [A7facts
Started young, but now I'm a man but I'ma keep workin', and [Bm]I'ma keep givin' you [A7plaques
Givin' them [A]pain, I just be [Am]livin' in vain
Long [Am]as nobody talkin' on [C7]my [A]name, you [A7will not get flamed, we'll keep it the same
Don't want problems with nobody (problems with nobody, problems with nobody)
(Don't keep her number, just leave that ho back there)
(I got [Fm7]so much bullshit stuck on [C7]my [A]mind
I done came to [C7]the point where no nothing but pain)
I'm finna let you [A7a lil' deeper in my [A]life
Got to [C7]the point, I feel if I speak it's aight
I'm finna vent to [C7]y'all, myself into [C7]the mic
I ain't never tell my [A]story how it was
Youth, born 2001
My mama told me she was [Am7]stɾessin' out from havin' a son
Not like [F]she ain't want me, she was [Am7]talkin' havin' me young
My pops ain't ɾeally want me, she was [Am7]lowkey havin' me dumb
But to [C7]keep it goin', life goes on, night come, new problems keep flowin'
She told me this just the other day
When normally I ask about my [A]father, she ain't got [Fm7]too much to [C7]say
Findin' better life, I had to [C7]pray, survive, I may
The shit I used to [C7]think up in that jungle everyday
Never had nothin' given to [C7]me, had to [C7]find my [A]way
I can say I done came a long [Am]way from poverty
SB forever, but a long [Am]way from Slattery
My soul hurt, a few ɾeal members gone, please don't bother me
Ask the opps, they all [Em]know I perform
Blew up, had to [C7]change my [A]norm
When I go back to [C7]my [A]hood, the police storm
When you [A7a coon, if you [A7get ɾich and [Bm]you [A7don't leave
My mama still gon' play the tɾenches like [F]she won't leave
But I don't show that, niggas know that
Before ɾap, be [Am]a black man outside livin' cozy
Deadys out the Oz, my [A]auntie named Rosie
She told me she miss me, not for [Dm7]you, you [A7know these hoes be [Am]gassin'
That ain't how I'm steppin'
The only thing a nigga want ɾight now is progression
Fire to [C7]the flame, stamp my [A]little chain
I grew up in a area youngins dyin' by the name
My inner-self a stepper, I'm from Ryer, I know pain
Double-cup of ɾed, I feel like [F]I'm higher than Wayne, higher than Wayne
My mom don't want it, but I still wanna buy her a chain
That just 'cause where we come from
She like, "You go dumb, son"
Got addicted to [C7]this life, you [A7want this? I don't want one
