Rock City - Our Story lyrics

That's when it all changed See that's was the first time we wanted to get on stage I was nervous, my brother wasn't afraid We both was at a very young age Mom & dad worked hard for that 5 dollars an hour minimum wage They treated our folks like they were slaves But they did whatever they had to to keep food on the plate So we made a promise that some how some way We gon make it up out of this ghetto one day Maybe cause we were locals Prolly why promoters felt like we didn't deserve to get paid We were loved by some hated by many Years pa** growing up now, we just met Benny Fan base started growing still wasn't making a penny That's not even half a mile in my shoes We became the biggest thing while we were still only in high school But we ain't settled so right after we graduated we moved All we've ever wanted to do is get to a better tomorrow So much in our hearts to prove to get to a better tomorrow So now we in the M.I.A Shout out to my cousin Oshannah for giving us a place to stay The homie Verse stayed right around the corner with his moms My uncle Trent stayed 20 minutes away so me, my brother and Verse Was running through the streets of Miami grindin' seeing as tho we couldn't get work Then a radio battle rap show with big lip And super Cindy was the only way that we got heard See we skipped college ain't with that blue collar Was only chasing our dream ain't never chased dollars And we was on fire when we left St. Thomas Went to Miami thinking we was gon get more hotter But that didn't happen at all we knew that we needed to leave And it was between Atlanta and New York Then our tickets got bought to come to the A to rock a show If that wasn't a sign I don't know what it was So they payed us 350 to perform a club So we packed up our bags like here we come And were fresh out of high school still very young But this was our dream, to some we were done All we've ever wanted to do is get to a better tomorrow So much in our hearts to prove to get to a better tomorrow So we went to Atlanta and decided we wasn't gon leave With 20 dollars in the pocket of some old jeans Came across a few salesmen that sold dreams But we wasn't gon quit uh uh by no means We started meeting with labels and we were laughed at Like you from an island tryna rap go home please Started doing talent shows to win money Just to keep the lights on and bring home a lil groceries Buzz started growing Atlanta started showing mad love so we just kept on going Deals on the table now Akon blowing up And hearing bout us from everybody who know him Did the deal with Konvict then "Losin' It" dropped Still here standing even after "Losin' It" flopped They wanted us to sing no rappin' straight pop And that's just some of the reason why that album ain't dropped And I ain't tryna get props all I want is my shot Our chance to blow and probably make it to the top And at least I can say that we tried if we failed Plus the fans ain't never cared bout first week sales All we've ever wanted to do is get to a better tomorrow So much in our hearts to prove to get to a better tomorrow So much in our hearts to prove to get to a better tomorrow
