Ayy Hey, hey, hey, hey Yeah Hey, hey Uh [Lute:] I met this girl the other day that wanna know my story She said since the world against me, she all for me I told her God must've overheard my hopeful wish And crazy how I never would've thought to be in this position 'Cause see hip-hop saved my life is such a cliché quote But before I grabbed the mic, I was the poster-child of broke, uh Signed my first deal off the realest sh*t I wrote I told my city I'm the closest thing to hope Used to be barely above water, now I float Same b*tches in my DM's used to take me for a joke ni**as talk crow, sh*t behind my back and then call me bro Like bro, you gotta match one before you blow I always leave the message on seen 'cause I don't smoke When really I don't fu*k with half these ni**as on the low And that's just how it go She go, "Damn, ni**a, that's deep," I know, tell me about it My life be full of stress, fake ni**as, and sleep deprivin' like uh [Mez:] Dreams, all my sh*t been colossal though Used to be honor roll, now it's foreign whips I'm riding on Now everything I flow hot as fu*k, I mean poblano though Me and Lute 'posed to been did this sh*t, it's perfect timing though Remember us being younger, talking about gettin' signed to Cole? I was so hot-headed then, I'm a lot calmer though Tryna buy me a brick house when I get comma though Money gon' help with a lot of things but not the trauma though Had so many adventure times, we used to run from the jakes To make it for Southside, we do whatever it takes It was apartheid when my barber parted my fade 'Cause now I'm pulled left and right by Keshia and Adrinae All this sh*t gets so deep, man, I'm hoping y'all dive in I don't fu*k with surviving, I'm only thinkin' 'bout thriving But you way too afraid, yeah, I know what your vibe is Always worried 'bout me, that sh*t must be sleep depriving That sh*t must be sleep depriving [DaVionne:] I ain't never had nothin', yeah, I had to work for it Prayed to God every day, even went to church for it Built from the ground up, played in the dirt for it God told me it would work out, I took his word for it We all come from a very different path Look at what we been through, look at where we at Got 'em losing sleep worried 'bout what we on Said I wouldn't make it but I always prove wrong, yeah Yeah [Omen:] Turn into a big deal, but way realer than Black Friday They let a visionary vibrate Hoppin' through the Tri-State I got this bird box simply off a blind date Now I'm in a tryin' state Turn into a horror story Broke my heart to the point I had to find tape Bringing Lysol, sage, just to wipe her away like eternal sunshine Pulled up in a drop spot like some summer times Seen you with some other guy, long story, summarize Writing on the wall, got your message under mine I been gettin' high, summer crime, ever since Wonder why ill intent was inside of your skin, damn Dookey braids, droopy eyes, it was groupie love Hurt feelings, no cap like bougie clubs Sat alone deep in silence Thinkin' 'bout you gettin' sleep deprivin', yeah [DaVionne:] I ain't never had nothin', yeah, I had to work for it Prayed to God every day, even went to church for it Built from the ground up, played in the dirt for it God told me it would work out, I took his word for it We all come from a very different path Look at what we been through, look at where we at Got 'em losing sleep worried 'bout what we on Said I wouldn't make it but I always prove wrong, yeah
