[Intro]
(Ant Chamberlain, that's a hundred points)
If I had enough time, I'll tell you about all the rough times, I was at the bottom
A couple niggas done switched up, I guess they ain't understand when I told them that I got them
See, when you really self-made, you'll never ever blame someone for your problems
I deserve everything I got, it's blood, sweat, and tears behind every dollar, oh
[Chorus]
The way I grew up wan't easy, trust got brokе for too many dumb reasons
It's funny when they say thеy ain't need me, but when they did, I was always able
And I ain't even have no kid, but I got a lot of sons that don't owe me shit, I don't need no refunds
I ain't even finna bring up the shit that I done 'cause I don't count favors
Time go by and a lot of shit change
This shit feel strange and I cannot explain why I'm filled with anger
Never thought about life endin' up this way, now they look like strangers
I'ma make 'em realize when you go 'gainst the grain, it ain't nothin' but danger
[Verse 1]
Oh, yeah, Lord, may you be with me when I'm showin' them mercy (Oh)
I never intended to put nobody underground 'til they show me they worthy
I'm tryna be a bigger person 'cause I know that they'll never make what I'm earnin'
I'm tryna get rid of my old life, I think I'm doin' good, I'm learnin'
Five hundred miles from the trenches, I'm far from the hood, but I still wish a nigga would
'Cause ain't shit sweet and it's nowhere near good, please get it understood
And you wouldn't understand how they all tryna move with a nigga, mane, I wish that I could
It's hard tryna let a love go when you got a ego, but I know that I should
I don't owe nobody shit, so why should I give a damn 'bout a bitch?
And I don't give a damn 'bout who switched, I had a lot of heart, but I lost it
I know what it took to get rich and it got a lot of fuck niggas pissed
Cross them right off that list, you can tell from their face, they salty
[Chorus]
The way I grew up wan't easy, trust got broke for too many dumb reasons
It's funny when they say they ain't need me, but when they did, I was always able
And I ain't even have no kid, but I got a lot of sons that don't owe me shit, I don't need no refunds
I ain't even finna bring up the shit that I done 'cause I don't count favors
Time go by and a lot of shit change
This shit feel strange and I cannot explain why I'm filled with anger
Never thought about life endin' up this way, now they look like strangers
I'ma make 'em realize when you go 'gainst the grain, it ain't nothin' but danger
[Verse 2]
Rule number one: don't never bite the hand that feed ya
You don't make sense, you might as well put a gun to your head if you think I need ya
Really ran this shit up, now a nigga can't starve, like 100 Days, I'ma ball
Lesson be learned, never fuck with a snake again, I tried to make 'em my dawg, but it brought pain
That's the only reason you can say I changed, but you can't say I ain't try to make a way
Kept you on your shit and help you elevate, no second chances, nigga, yeah, I'm straight
I think I'm colorblind 'cause I didn't see nobody true colors, but I'll be okay
I think I'm colorblind 'cause I didn't see nobody true colors, but I'll be okay
Shit don't do nothin', but make me a soldier
Ain't no changin', but me gettin' older and them hundreds, I keep in a folder
Run it up on you niggas, I told you, by myself, I don't lean on a shoulder
By myself, I don't lean on a shoulder
[Chorus]
The way I grew up wan't easy, trust got broke for too many dumb reasons
It's funny when they say they ain't need me, but when they did, I was always able
And I ain't even have no kid, but I got a lot of sons that don't owe me shit, I don't need no refunds
I ain't even finna bring up the shit that I done 'cause I don't count favors
Time go by (Ayy, long live Butterball) and a lot of shit change (I love you, nigga)
This shit feel strange and I cannot explain why I'm filled with anger (Free Marco 'til it's backwards)
Never thought about life ending up this way, now they look like strangers (Long live Keif, long live Big Money)
I'ma make 'em realize (I'ma be home soon) when you go 'gainst the grain, it ain't nothin' but danger
[Outro]
It's all in a matter of time
Living Gold forever
