From the Bottom

I done came a long way from the bottom
My people say they need me well I got um
Well I remember days when we was broke
I thought that shit would never end but that's what made me strong yeah

Yeah I feel like I'm invincible, it ain't what you did wrong man its the principle
I was in that cell you wasn't around, Face told me stay focused quit fuckin around
So I quit sellin dope, got some hope, inspiration to the bro's
Celebration for our lows, Calibration for my foe's praying to see my downfall
Shackled to the floor but I still stood my ground tall
In a game full of gimmicks, in a city full of haters who need to study my linguistics
Ignore the specifics, just listen to your gut
Disrespect will get ya cut, don't try to measure up
Best friends set ya up, man I swear so much has changed
Yeah I had to leave the game before the fame came
I was in the chain gang, gave them years of my life
So don't be surprised that I ain't hearing ya lies, I told um

I done came a long way from the bottom
My people say they need me well I got um
Well I remember days when we was broke
I thought that shit would never end but that's what made me strong yeah
