Verse 1 14 years old, found out the definition of a dope fiend Someone who don’t give a fuck, someone down on their luck Seen it on my block, it was cold, ain't no hope scene Mama told me, "Boy, keep your head up, don't you fold, clean." But how you stay clean when the world so dirty? Every other week, someone leavin' in a hurry Cops on the corner, fiends out lookin' scurry I was just a kid, but my vision got blurry. Pre-Chorus Told myself, “I can’t live like that,” nah Gotta get the fam out the trap, yeah Had to turn my pain into stacks, uh Gotta make a way, ain't no cap. Chorus 'Cause they don't know what I been through Late nights, tears falling, yeah, I been bruised Tryna make it out the gutter where the sin rules Told the fam, “Don’t worry, I’ma win, too.” Yeah, I’ma win, too. Verse 2 Pops left, mama cried, had to man up Ran up, got my bands up, never planned luck Seen the fiends fight for crumbs, that ain’t the life for me Knew I had to change the script, rewrite the prophecy. Now they see me on the rise, they ain't believe it Used to laugh at my dreams, now they need it Told my lil’ bro, "You ain’t never gotta feel this Stack your bread, keep your soul, you the realest." Pre-Chorus Told myself, “I can’t live like that,” nah Gotta get the fam out the trap, yeah Had to turn my pain into stacks, uh Gotta make a way, ain't no cap. Chorus 'Cause they don't know what I been through Late nights, tears falling, yeah, I been bruised Tryna make it out the gutter where the sin rules Told the fam, “Don’t worry, I’ma win, too.” Yeah, I’ma win, too.
