[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like I’m standing on top of a 20 story building
I’m about to take you on a ride
But tell me what I’m supposed to do when I got hometown blues
About to give my mom a hug and tell her I ain’t coming home tonight
[Chorus]
Tell the world that imma make it to the top
77 know that number never lie
God with him so u know he never stops
And if they doubt hit em with the Diddy crop
Can kill a legend but you know he never dies
I live my dream I don’t know a 9 to 5
Remember days know that I was terrified
Went through hell on the road to paradise
[Verse]
You could tell I’m in a rush
By the way, I interrupt
Don’t compare to a rapper with a style that he adopts
I know a lot a people thought I’d never make it from the block
Aye I’m tryna leave a legacy before my body rots
Hooray, ayy, ayy, ayy
This my journey follow me like a parade
No more fear that ain’t in my DNA
My team blowing up like a grenade
[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like I’m standing on top of a 20 story building
I’m about to take you on a ride
But tell me what I’m supposed to do when I got hometown blues
About to give my mom a hug and tell her I ain’t coming home tonight
[Chorus]
Tell the world that imma make it to the top
77 know that number never lie
God with him so u know he never stops
And if they doubt hit em with the diddy crop
Can kill a legend but you know he never dies
I live my dream I don’t know a 9 to 5
Remember days know that I was terrified
Went through hell on the road to paradise
[Outro]
Been to a lot of places I’ve done seen a lot of faces
Kids trying to escape and wanna make it out the basement
Used to wanna be the greatest now they paying you for playlists
If they take me out the game I hope I sparked a generation
I keep in mind the seed that I sow
I light up the world ignite and give hope
While rich folks sniff coke with jokes on big boats
It’s more to life
