Intro
I've been trying to write these words
For God knows for how long
Another day, another page, tryin' to write down these songs
But I can't seem to get away from all these things I done wrong
And I want to tell my brain to let these bygones be gone but
The past keep coming up like the sun and I know
If I don't shake these bonds I'll be a guy they don't know
Cause I want have the fans turnin up at the show
But I wanna be secure in my thoughts back at home
And if I could just tell my folks to trust that I know
I promise to pay it back to them all and some more
Cause I'm gonna reach the heights to make sure I'm lookin back home
Make sure my family comfy while I'm sittin here on my throne
And if my Little past self could be seeing me now
He'd know even better that we'll make it somehow
No need for all the sleepless night and feeling so down
I promise little man that it's happening now
So we pick ourselves up every time that we down
And we stay in the fight when that bell comes around
Cuz we worked through the night to have the sun as our crown
Been runnin on the streets but soon we owning this town
And I'm just gettin started here with all of this shit
Been steady on my craft while I'm craftin the hits
Been easy on the gas with the Maximum drip
You wonder when's the moment listen up this is it
So we pick ourselves up every time that we down
And we stay in the fight when that bell comes around
Cuz we worked through the night to have the sun as our crown
Been runnin on the streets but soon we owning this town
And I'm just gettin started here with all of this shit
Been steady on my craft while I'm craftin the hits
Been easy on the gas with the Maximum drip
You wonder when's the moment listen up this is it
And you been through more than any one person should
Already done more than most thought that you could
Breaking the Mold just to get up out of your hood
But it's the people still in there that made you do what you did
And if I could just thank the ones no longer around
My sails filled with wind of what you did hope you're proud
I swear to steer this ship till I reach higher ground
Silently working while they make plans out loud
And somedays be harder than the earth that's beneath us
And the air thick like water like it's tryin' to beat us
But we keep moving along like the rhythm and beat does
You Better show us respect Yeah that's word to Aretha
So we pick ourselves up every time that we down
And we stay in the fight when that bell comes around
Cuz we worked through the night to have the sun as our crown
Been runnin on the streets but soon we owning this town
And I'm just gettin started here with all of this shit
Been steady on my craft while I'm craftin the hits
Been easy on the gas with the Maximum drip
You wonder when's the moment listen up this is it
So we pick ourselves up every time that we down
And we stay in the fight when that bell comes around
Cuz we worked through the night to have the sun as our crown
Been runnin on the streets but soon we owning this town
And I'm just gettin started here with all of this shit
Been steady on my craft while I'm craftin the hits
Been easy on the gas with the Maximum drip
