[Intro] Represent, you act like this was the first time we done had to tell y'all You can hear us though, you can hear us... in 4, 3, 2, 1 [Verse 1] I was born a ba*tard, my mama was a baby And she didn't have the sk**s it would ever take to raise me Pops jumped ship and left us doin bad I pretty much blame him for everything I never had Fall back cuz I remember I was always mad Constantly in trouble, I was always bad Used to whip my a** for stealin and skippin cla** Just basically f**in up, they said I was nothing but a f** up Your f**in nuts, just wait and see I can't wait to make them eat that sh** they talk bout me I'm gonna make granny proud of me Be someone that I can be, proud to be They ain't gonna make no a** out of me How did we, overcome such obstacles and setbacks They told me I was average but I just couldn't accept that Let that, be those words carved in my headstone P. S. you hatin muthaf**as were dead wrong [Chorus x2] Told you muthaf**as I won, I was gon do it I was gon do it, still you doubted me... still you doubted me [Verse 2] Day turn to night, I paid the cost for the fame I was drawn to the game like a moth to a flame Guess you could say I had a troublesome past Rememberin talkin to mama, talking through gla** The look in her eye, boy I'm so sick of your a** You're never gonna change, you're just like your dad (damn!) A look in her face that told me I was mistake She wish she had never made, goes from back from in the day What came from the grave, was a message she didn't wanna hear Remember that trip from hell, well here's your little souvenir Don't drink no Belvedere, I blow that k**er smoke I hit that volume bu*ton and let them guerillas go You didn't know or see the growth through the concrete Makin million dollars merely speakin over drum beats Yes did, been telling you since I was a kid And you was bonded, get on with that bullsh** [Chorus x2] [Verse 3] I rolled my eyes, as if to say f** all y'all All I ever had was my muthaf**in Paw Paw My gramma, fed me catfish and coleslaw I hit the weed then pa** it to my road dog I grip the steering wheel, I'm mashin gas pedal b**h, I'm gonna be here when the muthaf**in dust settles Probably been off if I had just let go I wonder where I'd be in life if I just said no But life's too short for me to ponder questions I'll never answer But why am I still smoking from all I've lost from cancer At this point in life, all my worries are financial And any losses that I have to take will be substantial I'm not stopping because it's not an option Get it straight, I'm not sweepin and not moppin A muthaf**in thing, you get that boss And all that real job talk just piss Stak off [Chorus x2]
