[Intro]
Uh,Uh, Let's get it, Uh
[Verse 1]
I know i'm anti-social, I move them grams like i'm 'sposed to
I took them trips back and forth
You need directions i'll show you
I used to sleep on the floor, waking up plucking off roaches
Man, I was broke, I was poor
Ever woke up to a notice like get out, move your sh** out
I'm thinking bout the time, all the christmases that we missed out
And all I ever wanted to do was get you a big house
Cabinets filled up with black bottles, f** all that crystal
I serve my own damn uncle I know that sh** foul
Damn, I had to get mine
sh**, I had to get by
Had to eat, don't be mad at me
Came up wit all these strategies
I was tryna live lavishly
It was just me and [???]
He grew up write in the trash with me
Ashy elbows and ashy feet
Dirty youngins was snagging teeth
We had mixed matching sneaks
Couldn't even cross the street
Young boys that's off the leash
Grandma tried keep me off the streets
I was just at the park with Keys
I just wish that we all could eat
Different plates that we all could see
Coop he took a loss with me
'Member when I got caught wit tree
Member when I was off my feet
Mom ain't used to make promises
Nothing happened, just call a sheep, why the f** life so hard for me
My n***a sold hard dimes for they hard times
If I ever be a star that mean we all shine
And when it comes to my family, that's where I draw lines
And if you cross that line, it's gon' be chalked lines
Sparks flying
Had you in for buying [???] p**y hawked tied
If it's on, then its on you know we all die
[Chorus] (x2)
Surrounded by broken promises
Nothing in life is promising
All I wanted was all the finer sh** (x2)
[Verse 2]
All I wanted was all the finer things
Matter fact f** it just needed our spring
I threw away my college green so I can see the wildest things
But what's a man with out a dream
I tried out but never make the team
I grew up outta my childish games
There's sunny days after the rain
All I wanted to be was fly and clean
All I wanted was all designer chains
Just wanted to taste them [???] things
Me and [???] just wrote a facial and talked about how we thankful
We been through a lot, you know some sh** are long and painful
He 'bout to go in, i'm like f** it
When you get out i'll be standing right at the f**ing gateway
I'll have money, I'll have b**hes for you
I'll have lane, i'll have swishes for you
Anything I got,half of it imma give to you n***a
Cause when you had those grams, broke down and split wit your n***a
[Chorus] (x2)
Surrounded by broken promises
Nothing in life is promising
All I wanted was all the finer sh** (x2)
