They Wonder How

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Every time I take a step, you try to push me back (uh-huh) (push me back)
Every time I'm on the ledge, you try to cut my slack (cut my slack)
Every time I try my best and you just call me wack (call me wack)
Every time I get ahead, you try to pull me back (ay) (pull me back)

Every time it feels right, you have to bring me down (ay) (bring me down)
Every time it's alright, 'cause I get around (yeah) (wow)
Every night it's alright, 'cause I'm selling out
Every night it's alright, 'cause I have no doubt

Yo
It's like you've never really had a chance (yeah) (no)
This world don't ever seem to understand (ay)
I give my blood and sweat for what I do (yeah) (ay)
And that's the reason I don't fuck with you (yeah) (ay)

I made a promise to myself back then (uh-huh)
To dominate this shit until the very end (until the very end)
To burn you out the money that you always spend (always spend)
To call you out and take those hundreds for my own expense (own expense)

They look at us and wonder how we made it
Sacrifice and work hard, the basics
Know that look on your face, you hate it, you hate it, oh

And they look at us, wonder how we made it
Out here lookin' like that fuckin' greatest
I know that shit hurt when it's sinking in, in, no (yeah)

Every time you try to push ahead, lead the way (lead the way)
Wish me dead every day
Trying hard to stake a claim (stake a claim)

Every time you try to take the reins, it's the same
You can blame who you want
But you can't kill the flame (ay)

Every time you try to take a stand, but you're lame (ay)
Falling down, got no game
Running back the other way (yeah) (yeah)
Tryna act like somebody (body) (yo)
Tryna act like somebody (body

Yo
It's like you've never really had a chance (yeah) (no)
This world don't ever seem to understand (ay)
I give my blood and sweat for what I do (yeah) (ay)
And that's the reason I don't fuck with you (yeah) (ay)

I made a promise to myself back then (uh-huh)
To dominate this shit until the very end (until the very end)
To burn you out the money that you always spend (always spend)
To call you out and take those hundreds for my own expense (own expense)

They look at us and wonder how we made it
Sacrifice and work hard, the basics
Know that look on your face, you hate it, you hate it, oh

And they look at us, wonder how we made it
Out here lookin' like that fuckin' greatest
I know that shit hurt when it's sinking in, in, no (yeah)

(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
