Tell me what you know about givin’ all you got
To put on for a city that hates you
Tell me what you know about stickin’ true to you
Surrounded by people tryna change you
I never take a break, on what I call an off day
You still ain’t doin’ more than I do
I ain’t never gonna change you can put me through the rain cuz this the only life that I choose
Tell me have you ever
Busted out your ass for some minimum wage for the plan
Savin’ every check, barely spendin’ shit for weeks
Just so you can end up gettin’ scammed
This game is so ruthless, they comin’ for your neck
Even way before you put them diamonds on your chest
They just tryna take what is yours to invest
Invested in myself tryin’ to rival with the best
I gotta check myself give my idols their respect
Had to check some homies they were ridin’ for a check
I’m workin’ so hard but it’s barely in sight
Sometimes late at night gotta get high so I don’t stress
Closin’ my eyes let my mind do the rest
And picture a life I can ride inside a check
Not even trippin’ spillin’ wine on my Patek
Never stop grindin’, tonight could be the crest
Yeah I had to make a Sacrifice
Done to much to let it pass me by
Livin’ this life gotta roll the dice
Livin’ my life can’t control the night X2
Yeah I had to make a sacrifice
I done it so long, long nights in the booth
My city talkin’ shit about everything I do
Keep my head down, gotta know that I’m the truth
I went through hard times had to stop it with the juice
Last time that I saw you you was tryna run a fade
Now I’m doin’ well and you think you wanna taste
I don’t want you pullin’ up, tell you we are not the same
Leave my show in a Honda, tryna ride a private plane
Man I feel like music’s apart of me at this point. I feel like it’s not really a choice to keep goin’ it’s like; this is what I made my life, this is what I’m doin’ now. This is me
I remember late at night when I was workin’
A new homie in my circle asked me what for I was searchin’
I said I wanna make it, nothin’ more, nothin’ less
He didn’t see the vision then he switched up like the rest
Just another friend turned foe
Just another bump in the road
You really wanna ask me why I seem so cold
I feel like I’m the only one who sees my goals
Put some stars in my chain
But I still ain’t never ‘laxed, always hard in the paint
Biggest in my city, pull your card if you claim
You been doin’ more, imma charge through the rain
Hated by my city
I can’t hang cuz I’m too busy
But I try to make time
I’m a boss but I got giddy
Caught a break, fuck your pity
I don’t need your fake cries
I was humble and uncertain, cheap fits with New Balance
Man I hadn’t found a purpose, went from sips to a gallon
Then I found myself a pen and I wrote and found a passion
And half a decade later I’m still grindin’, never stagnant
Gotta buy my folks a mansion
I feel sorry for the person in the way when I roll past ‘em
Cuz I’m cold and I’m ruthless, now I’m livin’ in a palace
You can take it all away, imma work till I get back it
But it really piss me off whenever I get played
I’m thinkin’ in my head ‘bout the life my parents made
And I know in my heart that I do it all for them
And even if we different had to learn that we can mend
So I slap you if you talk shit
I been through some things that I’ll never ever tell you
It’s my drive, motivation for the days I don’t feel special
I’m just bein’ real, you weren’t there why would I help you
