Verse 1
From a big house, big cars, talking big dreams/
To being broke, no joke, living in poverty/
At 13 I was hustlin' up on the streets/
In search for the money dawg, I had to eat/
Every day ma go to work she on the hot seat/
Boss man waitin' for the day she workin' off beat/
Used to tell I'd be famous ma, just watch me/
Im gone be the one to make it, No one will stop me/
At 15 things crazy, really lost my mind/
I just couldn't get it together after my grandma died/
She was my everything, and now my world's crushed/
Got no real reason for livin', yeah my life s**s/
Just a teenager and I felt a grown man's pain/
Lost my family, lost my friends
My life will never be the same/
Used to say I'd never live my life stuck in the rain/
I know Ima make it out the struggle dawg one day//

One with the flame, driving in the fast lane/
The one that's sittin' on top of this game/

Never thought mama would see that happen to her child's life/
Yeah I'm livin' large/
