Prompt
(Intro) Yeah, yeah, from the block to the top, no cap Focus on the bag, I ain’t never lookin' back (Verse 1) I was raised in the jungle where the lions don’t sleep Where the hustle's your survival, and the wolves gotta eat Had to turn my struggle to a vision, something sweet Now I’m stacking up my paper, got the world at my feet Came from ramen on the stove, now I’m dining on filet Used to dream about the whip, now I’m pushin' in the Wraith Told my mama, "Hold on," she gon' see better days Every dollar that I make gon’ wash the pain away (Chorus) I’m getting bread, yeah, I’m stacking up the loaf Made it out the mud, now they all doin' the most Focused on the cash, yeah, I’m running up the dough Hood dreams turned real, now I’m shining, that’s for sure (Verse 2) Late nights, street lights, plotting on a come-up Now my wrist shine bright like the sun up Ain’t no looking back, nah, I’m only moving forward Turned my losses into lessons, yeah, I’m climbing every corner They was sleepin' on the kid, now they wide awake Told ‘em, "Watch how I move, I’mma change the stakes" No handouts, nah, I put food on my plate Now my whole team eat, yeah, we sharing the cake (Bridge) It’s about the grind, not the shine, that’s the motto Stack it up today, we ain’t promised tomorrow From the gutter to the throne, my life a novel Money over hate, yeah, that’s the gospel (Chorus) I’m getting bread, yeah, I’m stacking up the loaf Made it out the mud, now they all doin' the most Focused on the cash, yeah, I’m running up the dough Hood dreams turned real, now I’m shining, that’s for sure (Outro) So if you out here hustling, keep your eyes on the prize Never let the struggle dim the light in your eyes From the hood to the heights, yeah, I’m reaching for the skies Getting bread, chasing dreams, now I’m living my life
