What It Takes

We had it rough, we had it hard
Cover my heart, girl I been scarred
I ain't your average, no I ain't your norm
Ashing cigars, sitting under the stars
Thinking what it really take to make it, thinking what it really take to make it
Thinking what it really take to make it, thinking what it really take to make it
Thinking what it really take to make it (What it really take, what it really take)
Thinking what it really take to make it (What it really take, what it really take)

Thinking what it really take to make it, I been thinking bout it on a daily
I been plotting mind steady racing, I can feel it I just gotta pace it
Catch myself I start to get impatient, momma told me it can't drive me crazy
You know that she pray that I go major, I got a be something more then basic
Shawty say why you only save it, she say you never going places
I don't much care for what they favor, I tryna bring some to the table
I tryna do the shit I'm able, not tryna cry about it later
I want my moms to see Barbados, give her house that's on some acres
I'm tryna die with money baby, I know you die then you can't take it
But if I die I still can save it, my folks be straight for generations
Got a lil bro I gotta think of, show him it ain't no limitations
No matter what don't get complacent, you gotta watch the ones you hang with
It was just me my mom and brother, we had the same room forever
We had to share a plate together, we done been through the worst together
She raised us both a single mother, she tried to shield us from the struggle
She moved us out into the suburbs, now you see where I get my hustle

We had it rough, we had it hard
Cover my heart, girl I been scarred
I ain't your average, no I ain't your norm
Ashing cigars, sitting under the stars
Thinking what it really take to make it, thinking what it really take to make it
Thinking what it really take to make it, thinking what it really take to make it
Thinking what it really take to make it (What it really take, what it really take)
Thinking what it really take to make it (What it really take, what it really take)

Bitches on me keep on eyeing, niggas hating nevermind em
Ima run it up without em, Ima leave em where I found em
Younging climbing from the bottom, heart steady keep on pounding
Traded comfort for accounts, tried to tell you I'm astounding
Fuck a hand out Ima stand out never ask a nigga for nothing
I was staying down tryna plan mine they was going out clubbing
I just fell back got my head clear how you feel I'm acting funny
I was there you needed something it ain't never been the other
I swear sometimes I wanna quit, seem like they never wanted to hear
I was too focused tryna flip, I wasn't focused on my shit
Partner too focused on a bitch, niggas had started jumping ship
They thought I lost it, thought I quit
I just reloaded like a clip, I never fold nigga
Drive like a four-wheeler, Ima just show niggas
I don't owe no nigga
I'm still a cold nigga, Ima a lil go getter
That's all I know nigga, I know to go get it

We had it rough, we had it hard
Cover my heart, girl I been scarred
I ain't your average, no I ain't your norm
Ashing cigars, sitting under the stars
Thinking what it really take to make it, thinking what it really take to make it
Thinking what it really take to make it, thinking what it really take to make it
Thinking what it really take to make it (What it really take, what it really take)
Thinking what it really take to make it (What it really take, what it really take)
