From the Bottom

Started from the bottom
I'm from where the Apple's rotten (Big Apple)
Seen Homies fall like Autumn
Hollow tips ripping through cotton (Bur)

I gotta move with caution
Push horses like Ralph Lauren (Vroom)
I-95 in the Foreign
Mistress is Salvadoran (Damn Mami)

Yo paying tax is extortion
I apportion different portions (Bundles)
Stacking bundles in Porsche's
Striving to earn wins from losses (Winner's circle)

At the table with bosses
Life's a coin flip see what it tosses (Heads or tails)
I don't have a single regret
Play these cards place a bet (All in)

Uh
Climbing from the dirt
Feelings start to get hurt (They do)
Never wanna see prosperity

And definitely not the shine (I gotta shine)
The hate is my clarity
Motivation to go hard for mine (I'm taking it)
Forged by steel and iron

Got the hunger of a lion (Grrr)
Miracle touched Earth
The day I seen birth (Born day)
Motto's always family first

Violate expect the worst (Say word)
Skip doctor's and the nurse
Just straight to the hearse (Close casket)
We don't ever converse
Only let shots start to disperse (Pop pop pop)

I'm really from the bottom
That's just really how life goes
City's rotten
Whole lot of tags on big toes
One of my many goals
Is to shine like my link froze
As far as this story goes
I open the casket that Hip-Hop closed

Gained wisdom in my youth
Only speak truth in the booth (I'm the truth)
Shorty valid I'm so 'Into You'
Just like Fab's chipped tooth (All love Fab)

It's all jokes aside
Every rhyme is written with pride (Always)
Could've been dead or in jail
What's success if you don't fail (How you win)

I seen so many derail
Only mission is to prevail (Never quit)
Situations were bleak (Situations were bleak)
God's gift when I speak (God's gift when I speak)

Used to question my purpose
I see future in these verses (Clarity)
I barely scratched the surface
Heating up like a furnace (It's scorching)

Me against me in a versus
Competition's a circus (Goofy)
After spraying Fifty like Curtis
Nervous leaking from epidermis (Call the doctor)

Your life's a disservice
Funeral service in church's (Bells ringing)
Is where my heart submerges
A few tragedies new realities (Harsh)

Consume mental capacities
Shattering glass vanities (Bust that)
Death caused many calamities
Bouncing back was hectic (It was)

Some close to me were skeptic
My success is prophetic (Young Moses)
I use my voice to project it
Flow aesthetic (Embedded)
Ill poetic in genetics

I'm really from the bottom
That's just really how life goes
City's rotten
Whole lot of tags on big toes
One of my many goals
Is to shine like my link froze
As far as this story goes
I open the casket that Hip-Hop closed
