Talking:
You know everybody got that one person that they
They get game from when you know theys n***as
These vochers out here try to steer you in the wrong direction and
I learned a lot from my daddy, my grandma, and my grandpa but
A lot of the sh** my mama told me gone always stick you feel me?
Hook:
My mama always told me
Don't ever ask for no hand outs
Cause the moment
You got the haNd out
Is the second they cut yo hand off
So i learned to hold mine yal
I learned to be strong yal
Cause all i get is me
And all you got is you
See i learn from regret
I learn from pain
I learn from stress
I learned from my mama
So i learned from the best
Yeah i learned from best
And im learning every day
How to forgive mistakes
How sh** cut you so deep
That it never goes away
And how to make amends
And with yo fake a** friends
And not how to always judge a n***a
On rather he got some ends but
Bridge:

And u sacraficed it for me
So im living mine for you

Verse:
I looked myself in the mirror i told myself
I best i was the best
I wrote it down, thought about it
Den i watched it manifest
From a word , to a thought, to an action in the flesh
Now its never a debate when i ask em who the best
I got a potiential
Bigger than my eyes can even see
So i never feel uncomfortable when they lookin at me
Cause its gone take a million eyes
Just for muf**as can see
That im the one numeral uno
These they all tryna be

Verse:
I remember my grams last stretch
How she laid there and told me about her whole life
But the moment she took her last breath
Was the moment I realized it was a whole lie
Cause honestly i never was there and hell i can't remember
I use to have to hear them stories from my mama's sister
Of how she always gave to charity and always took care of me
And what im doing? too busy worried about them pair of 3's of jay's to come out
But one thing i heard that she said
"boy dont worry bout them shoes, i know to you they might seem all new
But the ones thats used show what you been through (been through in life)
Translations f** a hand out cause them hand outs never depicts a mans trail
Or tribulation so f** it im on my own and when im to my last breath i hope my son hear this song fareal
