Before

Turn me up a lil' bit so I can hear it
Got racks got sauce no rib, still a put that fye up to a lil' n*igga grill
Tree on the beat know it's heat and I ain't got no chill
I ain't buying no beans they ain't come with no script
I ain't buying no lean it ain't come with no seal
Drop a rap n*gga's budget on P's naw for real
I can go and spend a check on whatever I feel
Few n*ggas I grew up with ain't spoke to em' in years
Half lost to the grave other half in a cell
Thank god for his mercy I'm the one that prevailed
I'm just scared to die broke the only thing that I fear
Gotta' flex my muscle, gotta' show my skill

Stand up in they chest or you'll fall fasho
Don't need too many players to ball fasho
If you lie to me ain't no surprise to me
You can tell I done heard that sh*t all before
Sh*t humongous right now it was small before
Yea it's lit but the moments were dark before
Runnin' sh*t can't forget that I crawled before
Goin' in like I wasn't going hard before
I came a long way from where I started
But haven't got to where I'm going
As a jit I had dreamed I'd make it to the league
But the struggle turned me to a warrior
I was gifted and cursed with a heart of gold
And will give it to you if you loyal
In a world of betrayal I ended up scarred
And it turned my heart of gold to foil
Gave the wrong n*gga knowledge the day
That I learned how go and get it off the soil
Gave my faith to the grind and put trust in the process
it got me everything and more
Still envision the faces of those who had sh*t on a n*gga
Back when I was poor
Now I'm on my way up, I'm a keep elevating
Until we reach the highest floor (On my way up)
Countin' blessings while the money keep piling
You can't treat me like I'm just anybody
Two thousand dollar shoes but I only wear 'em once
N*gga dressin' like thousand island
Made a way for my crew like I'm 'pose to do
I know Rock looking down on me smiling
Stand up in they chest or you'll fall fasho
Don't need too many players to ball fasho
If you lie to me ain't no surprise to me
You can tell I done heard that sh*t all before
Sh*t humongous right now it was small before
Yea it's lit but the moments were dark before
Runnin' sh*t can't forget that I crawled before
Goin' in like I wasn't goin' hard before
I came a long way from where I started
But haven't got to where I'm goin'
Where you going? (On my way up)
I was gifted and cursed with a heart of gold
And will give it to you if you loyal
In a world of betrayal I ended up scarred
And it turned my heart of gold to foil
