[Verse 1] Yes I've been walking down a long road Somebody told me that it's all gold But still I sing the blues like I never got to choose You'll never be somebody until somebody wants to be you That's kind of crazy when you think about it I swear I want it, so I dream about it Because I just want to get it As simple as I said it A life long dream trying to get to where I'm headed I'm staring at the top while I'm fighting with the bottom half Grab up in the bucket saying "f** it, I just want a chance" I wish I saved but I never do Blowing money like it's got coke residue So to the indrustry and who I wrote my letters to I hope that when you find me, you find a better you [Hook] We just want to make it to the top Never be somebody that I'm not I don't care about your money Because you ain't taking nothing from me Momma said "Everyday's like this" When it's "So what?" and you feeling like sh** Well it's one thing I ain't never going to quit I ain't never going to quit [Verse 2] I said I swear that it's my time though Because I been feeling in my prime hoe Black hoodie, smoking loud, got my eyes low And I ain't k**ed the game yet, I set my sights on Label meetings, I don't even feel the need to tweet it I'm from a small town, boy, I never be conceited Went to church, only dreaming about them Jesus pieces I never had it like they had it, now I see the reasons And I've been extra patient My team is motivated I seen some others make it You never saw me hate it Nah, because I've been looking at the positive Too much weight up on the bridge, something's gotta give Christmas Eve, all these b**hes know I've got to give Ghetto flow, let it blow Nobody hot as this Nah, there ain't nobody hot as this [Bridge] I never take the hate up out of context Because maybe I just ain't the one that's on next And I've been losing all my dogs, where they going to fetch While I'm thinking what's a king without a conquest I'll never be someone I'm not Feeling like Mike when them lights got hot And I be doing me, I don't do a lot of sippin' I do it for my team, even Jordan needed Pippen [Hook] We just want to make it to the top Never be somebody that I'm not I don't care about your money Because you ain't taking nothing from me Momma said "Everyday's like this" When it's "So what?" and you feeling like sh** Well it's one thing I ain't never going to quit I ain't never going to quit [Outro] Early in the morning See the sun rising Trying to meet somebody Living and we're dying And it's, hard work trying to make it to the finish line And I ain't giving up yet Trying to improvise You can hate or you can love it Oh, you can hate or you can love it
