Feel me? Hah
[Verse 1]
Look, started from the bottom with only a dream
Without a rich sponsor, just only a team
In the middle of the warm, tryina entertain
Something pretty hard to do being in the game
My bindess bad matching the company that I keep
And me being who I am the people after me
I couldn't sell my music, I did shows though
Blowing money fast before yolo
And every other day I'm riding through the hood
Stuntin through the sub and the benz looking good
I just wanna get a shawty hope
I'm proof they could really make it out
I'm just tryina let em know
My uncle mo said he love what I'm doing
Love how I talk, love what I'm pursuing
I got the power to reach the thugs through my music
Like 2Pac, TW and Boosie
Dedicated to ball, dedicated to shine
Never would have made it if I neglected the grind
So all that time I put in it was needed
And I was really on my way, I guess now it's too easy
[Hook]
I'm just tryina do me, I'm just really tryina survive
No matter what I'm getting mine
Cause we was all put here to shine
Keep your faith and grind
When times get hard
Never lay down just stay strong
The sun gonn shine when the rain gone
And if you really want it, it's yours
Keep your faith in god, cause god is good
Keep your faith in god, cause god is good
Keep your faith in god, cause god is good
Keep your faith in god, cause god is good
[Verse 2]
Hold up, my homie ackquited while facing the l
He told me that prison related to hell
He spent 22 hours caged in the cell
And nearly went crazy, kept faith and prevail
Wrongly accused, betrayed by his so called homies
Them dudes been phoney, and knew that
He was on papers, and if he violate probation
He going to prison and never would escape and
But my homeboy made it, fresh from the state pen to the comfort
His kids and his lady
He shed his tears and amazed me
Smiling at the prosecutor, cause she wanted to slay him
Now he understand the little money he was making
Wouldn't worth his freedom and wouldn't worth leaving
His family, forcing them to do it on they own
It's hard to be a daddy, tryina do it and move on
[Hook]
I'm just tryina do me, I'm just really tryina survive
No matter what I'm getting mine
Cause we was all put here to shine
Keep your faith and grind
When times get hard
Never lay down just stay strong
The sun gonn shine when the rain gone
And if you really want it, it's yours
Keep your faith in god, cause god is good
Keep your faith in god, cause god is good
Keep your faith in god, cause god is good
Keep your faith in god, cause god is good
[Verse 3]
Reminiscing bout some old friends
And all the other k**ings and all those innocent lives
That was short lived
They say the good die young
And I have faith chosen
But we got the power to make a change
Without folding
Keep the hand you was dealt, keep it
With this hand we was given the strength
To move mountains by ourselves
We faced with the worst burdens and smile without a care
Outside my hood seem like a cakewalk for real
I swear, I just wanna move forward
And use my mistakes to contribute to the growing
Not hang or soft, I just got a little older
And committed to a more important focus
Who do you believe in, I just wanna know
And in the very end, I just wanna go
To them early days, so I'm doing my best to keep faith
And thanking god for life every day, I'm just tryina do me
[Hook]
I'm just tryina do me, I'm just really tryina survive
No matter what I'm getting mine
Cause we was all put here to shine
Keep your faith and grind
When times get hard
Never lay down just stay strong
The sun gonn shine when the rain gone
And if you really want it, it's yours
Keep your faith in god, cause god is good
Keep your faith in god, cause god is good
Keep your faith in god, cause god is good
Keep your faith in god, cause god is good
