I'm a Winner

I used to think
I was a product of my environment
But then I realized
My environment is a product of me!

I was born to lose found a way to win
Born in hell I was made to sin
Walked through the fire almost gave in
Now all my work paid off I win!
I'm a winner
(I'm a winner winner)
I'm a winner
(I'm a winner winner)
I'm a winner
I went all in I played to win!
I'm a winner
(I'm a winner winner)
I'm a winner
(I'm a winner winner)
I'm a winner
Now all my work paid off I win!

I was in bred in gutter
Me and my brothers my pops and my mother
She was a hustler pops was guzzler
Stuck on the bottle and gambling a juggler
Fucks came in clusters no wonder we savage
We grew up in turmoil
We carrying baggage homeless 17 and emotionally damaged
No choice but to manage
Salvage or scavenge you'll never live lavish
My conscience eating away
I was hustling watching my people decay
Part of the problem caught in the fray
At one point it seemed like the only way
Til I pursued this music flow was so fluid
I can't let this talent just go to waste
Plus I caught a case now freedom's at stake
Sometimes I wished it would go away
I went on the run feeling like I'm done
Came back to NY with a wife and son
Cuzzo was popping in Real Estate
He told me came back and he'd put me on
He taught me the tricks showed me how to fish
So I blessed my sons with a better life
They grew up in the burbs I grew up on Burke
The cycle is broken I'm winning the fight
I'm winning at life

I was born to lose found a way to win
Born in hell I was made to sin
Walked through the fire almost gave in
Now all my work paid off I win!
I'm a winner
(I'm a winner winner)
I'm a winner
(I'm a winner winner)
I'm a winner
I went all in I played to win!
I'm a winner
(I'm a winner winner)
I'm a winner
(I'm a winner winner)
I'm a winner
Now all my work paid off I win!

I came from the bottom of bottom of Gotham
Straight from the core of that apple that's rotten
Fodder for news living like the forgotten
Grew up filled anger quick to get it popping
Risking my freedom front line while they watching
Laughing at UC's plotting on copping
Trying to catch me and limit my options
They really want us In cell blocks or boxes
Until it hit me I had an epiphany
Looking back at it in retrospect
They need bodies in these cell blocks
So one at the top get to collect
It's all part of plan
Call it population control at it's finest
We warring sell it heads dying to get it
Either way it was a minus
We fucking up our communities
Rats snitching for immunity
Families broken it needs to spoken
What we need more of is unity
It's really a cycle it's really trap
So many get caught up and never come back
Get out while you can put on your mans
Eat with your fam nothing better than that

I was born to lose found a way to win
Born in hell I was made to sin
Walked through the fire almost gave in
Now all my work paid off I win!
I'm a winner
(I'm a winner winner)
I'm a winner
(I'm a winner winner)
I'm a winner
I went all in I played to win!
I'm a winner
(I'm a winner winner)
I'm a winner
(I'm a winner winner)
I'm a winner
Now all my work paid off I win!
I was born to lose found a way to win
Born in hell I was made to sin
Walked through the fire almost gave in
Now all my work paid off I win!
I'm a winner
(I'm a winner winner)
I'm a winner
(I'm a winner winner)
I'm a winner
I went all in I played to win!
I'm a winner
(I'm a winner winner)
I'm a winner
