[Intro]
Represent, you act like this was the first time we done had to tell y'all
You can hear us though, you can hear us... in 4, 3, 2, 1
[Verse 1]
I was born a ba*tard, my mama was a baby
And she didn't have the sk**s it would ever take to raise me
Pops jumped ship and left us doin bad
I pretty much blame him for everything I never had
Fall back cuz I remember I was always mad
Constantly in trouble, I was always bad
Used to whip my a** for stealin and skippin cla**
Just basically f**in up, they said I was nothing but a f** up
Your f**in nuts, just wait and see
I can't wait to make them eat that sh** they talk bout me
I'm gonna make granny proud of me
Be someone that I can be, proud to be
They ain't gonna make no a** out of me
How did we, overcome such obstacles and setbacks
They told me I was average but I just couldn't accept that
Let that, be those words carved in my headstone
P. S. you hatin muthaf**as were dead wrong
[Chorus x2]
Told you muthaf**as I won, I was gon do it
I was gon do it, still you doubted me... still you doubted me
[Verse 2]
Day turn to night, I paid the cost for the fame
I was drawn to the game like a moth to a flame
Guess you could say I had a troublesome past
Rememberin talkin to mama, talking through gla**
The look in her eye, boy I'm so sick of your a**
You're never gonna change, you're just like your dad (damn!)
A look in her face that told me I was mistake
She wish she had never made, goes from back from in the day
What came from the grave, was a message she didn't wanna hear
Remember that trip from hell, well here's your little souvenir
Don't drink no Belvedere, I blow that k**er smoke
I hit that volume bu*ton and let them guerillas go
You didn't know or see the growth through the concrete
Makin million dollars merely speakin over drum beats
Yes did, been telling you since I was a kid
And you was bonded, get on with that bullsh**
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3]
I rolled my eyes, as if to say f** all y'all
All I ever had was my muthaf**in Paw Paw
My gramma, fed me catfish and coleslaw
I hit the weed then pa** it to my road dog
I grip the steering wheel, I'm mashin gas pedal
b**h, I'm gonna be here when the muthaf**in dust settles
Probably been off if I had just let go
I wonder where I'd be in life if I just said no
But life's too short for me to ponder questions I'll never answer
But why am I still smoking from all I've lost from cancer
At this point in life, all my worries are financial
And any losses that I have to take will be substantial
I'm not stopping because it's not an option
Get it straight, I'm not sweepin and not moppin
A muthaf**in thing, you get that boss
And all that real job talk just piss Stak off
[Chorus x2]
