[Intro]
Street Empire
[Chorus: BigBreeze]
Yeah, I came up from nothin' (Nothin')
You showed me the way and I ran wit' it
Had to go get some money (Go get some money)
I can't pull up wit' the cops tryna gun me down
When they see my color (They see my color)
I was so down and I prayed about, now I'm back
Back up from nothin' (Back up from nothin')
You see how we comin' (See how we comin')
I can't ever stop at red lights
I can't ever stop
'Member runnin' from them headlights
(Who would do that?)
I'm just tryna get my bread right
(I'm just tryna get my bread)
Faith got me livin' risky
Too risky! (Risky, livin' risky!)
[Verse 1: A-Dub White]
Dubble, ha
Came from the bottom, and still here (Yeah)
Trouble around me, I persevered
Could've been dead, but I'm still kickin' (Woo)
I grew up facin' my biggest fears (Ha)
You cannot stop or contain nothin' that God has ordained
This is my destiny (Yeah)
This isn't a game, I cannot even complain
God has been blessin' me
Daddy passed away when I was young
Just my mama and her troubled sons
Still found a way to get it done (Woo)
Now you wonder where I got it from (Yeah)
I done been down, I done been broken
Family died, I was so hopeless
Tears been fallin', shirt was soakin'
Through it all, Jesus told me to focus
He's the only one I vent to (Yeah)
Strength, comes from what you been through
Now I'm feelin' so invigorated
Like I popped a couple Senzus (Bow)
Healin' all the pain that I was feelin' (Woo)
Run away is not what men do (No)
People always talkin' outta pocket
Jesus took the wheel, like 10-2
[Chorus: BigBreeze]
Yeah, I came up from nothin' (Nothin')
You showed me the way and I ran wit' it
Had to go get some money (Go get some money)
I can't pull up wit' the cops tryna gun me down
When they see my color (They see my color)
I was so down and I prayed about, now I'm back
Back up from nothin' (Back up from nothin')
You see how we comin' (See how we comin')
I can't ever stop at red lights
I can't ever stop
'Member runnin' from them headlights
(Who would do that?)
I'm just tryna get my bread right
(I'm just tryna get my bread)
Faith got me livin' risky
Too risky! (Risky, livin' risky!)
[Verse 2: A-Dub White]
Yeah
Faith got me livin' risky (Yeah)
'Cause the carpenter had fixed me (Yeah)
Satan always tryna trick me (Ha)
But I can't ever let him get me (No)
Social distance, give me six feet (Woo)
Thank the Lord, that I ain't six feet (Thank you)
With the drama, you could miss me (Woo)
Work the magic like I'm Siegfried, bringin' it back like a frisbee (Ayy)
The blood of my Savior done cleansed me (Ayy)
I got all my dogs, no Benji (Ayy)
I'm savin' and stackin' these benjis (Ayy)
They watchin' my moves, they bingin' (Yeah)
Pray everyday, show me the way
I'm tryin' to win (I'm tryin' to win)
I had a slower beginnin'
Because of the hue of my skin
I've fallin' apart again and again
Said I was focused, changin' my lens
Lost some friends, then made amends
But I can't pretend, I'm going on ten
Yeah, ha
They always projected I'd be in the pen
I am no longer bounded by sin
'Cause I got my God, and I got my pen
Yeah
[Chorus: BigBreeze]
Yeah, I came up from nothin' (Nothin')
You showed me the way and I ran wit' it
Had to go get some money (Go get some money)
I can't pull up wit' the cops tryna gun me down
When they see my color (They see my color)
I was so down and I prayed about, now I'm back
Back up from nothin' (Back up from nothin')
You see how we comin' (See how we comin')
I can't ever stop at red lights
I can't ever stop
'Member runnin' from them headlights
(Who would do that?)
I'm just tryna get my bread right
(I'm just tryna get my bread)
Faith got me livin' risky
Too risky! (Risky, livin' risky!)
