PUSH! - Who I Am lyrics

[Hook] Everything I seen It made me who I am Seen it all in my life time Trying to be a millionaire with one life line Maybe I'll just scream yall just don't understand So forgive me if I'm just too real Coming from the heart, don't care about how you feel [Verse 1] If I was a little bit taller I would have been an NBA baller On or the D League Waiting on the call up But cause of my moms, I was shorter Now you nod off lines I thought up Get high, get addicted, get caught up All these CD bundles getting brought up I was brought up to always have options Get knocked down keep fighting like Hopkins I went from hoop dreams, to having coup dreams Then I was outside, getting that stoop cream Just a young jock, getting block bread A bad boy getting chicks drunk the Blockheads 55 for the 9 piece, went hard then got Unc to consign me Now if you looking for me you can find me In the jects the 8balls for 90 I was 19 supplying the whole town That's why my lyrics so profound My pops used to tell me then just to slow down Ain't realize he was right but I know now [Hook] [Verse 2] I remember filling out FAFSA Thinking bout the weed I was finna cop after (sh**) That was when Vince was on the Raptors When I retire, my hoodie should hang up from the rafters Always kept a job, a n***a stayed hustling Gotta pay your taxes, I was working construction Even worked at a hospital for some months straight Until the D's locked me up on my lunch break I got knocked with 100 grams But I beat it before trial and went back with adjusted plans Grew smarter, and hustled harder, had to (edited in song) looking like the Carter Bought me a Benz, blue CL coup Enjoy the fruits of my labor, my n***as all souped All my friends got ends, but it came to an end That drought hit hard no water was getting in Tool got locked up for an attempt body Then the feds came and got Gotti Then they snatched Black on a separate conspiracy charge It got crazy, they really tryna cripple the squad First AD, then Jay got paralyzed Both by h*mo a** cops who was letting they hammer fly My dad's mamma died, then he got cancer My mom's momma died, and I ain't got answers I don't know how I'm supposed to make it through this I don't feel I'm making any progress with the music Stress got me losing my head, I'm no Buddhist I try to bare it all but I'm no nudist They was just trying to give me my man 30 But I ain't in the can and my hands just as dirty I looked and asked god, why not me? Why all my n***as locked up lord, why I'm free? All this happening around me Took it as a blessing and stopped stressing and that's when I found me I figured out that god had a plan Gotta do this for the fam So I'm working as hard as I can to win And no man can say he never sinned But every move I make from now come from a righteous place within [Hook]
