Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Whole lotta pressure, whole lotta nights I was stuck in the rain
Now the whole gang eatin’, nobody ridin’ the bench in the game
Ain’t no cap in my blood, I done took every loss with pain
Now when I step in the room, they gon’ look at the fit and chain

[Verse 1]
I was down bad, pockets slim, had dreams in a backpack
Now I’m outside in designer, they wonder how I snapped back
Bro said stay patient, the money gon’ come if you stack that
Now every show gettin’ louder, I walk in, the crowd attack that

I remember nights on the block with the cold wind
Nobody cared when I talked ‘bout goals then
Now they all callin’ my phone tryna tap in
Funny how success make enemies act friends

I got scars I can’t cover with fashion
Pain turned gold, now my whole life flashin’
Shorty said she love me, I know she attracted
To the lights and the diamonds and captions

But I still ride for the bros in the trenches
Still got love for the ones that was with me
Back when nobody believed in the vision
Now they scream my name when they see me in cities

I done seen fake love
I done seen real hate
I done had long talks with myself like “Just wait”
Now I’m up so high, can’t let fear dictate
Every move calculated, no room for mistakes

[Bridge]
And they told me slow down
But I can’t right now
Too much on my mind
Too much on my plate now

I was broke, had dreams
Now the whole team straight now
Used to feel invisible
Bet they see my face now

[Verse 2]
Fast life, bright lights, we was really outside
Late nights, fist fights, cops ridin’ by
Mama said pray hard, keep God by your side
‘Cause this world get cold when you chasin’ a high

I ain’t tryna fold, I ain’t switchin’ for fame
Lotta people changed when the money came
I stayed ten toes, never ran from the pain
Now I’m too lit, they remember my name

And my heart still heavy from losses
Got bros in the sky, that pain never soften
So every time I touch a mic, I talk honest
‘Cause tomorrow ain’t promised

I was hungry, nobody noticed
Now I walk in and they all focused
Used to write bars on the back of my homework
Now the same words got my whole life rolling

I can’t stop now
I done came too far
From the dark hallways and the cop cars
Now it’s stage lights shining on a young star
But inside I still carry them old scars

[Outro]
Yeah
Came from the bottom, now we up
Still got pain in the cup
Still got dreams I ain’t touched
But I know one thing—
I’m never goin’ back broke again.
