[Verse 1]
I remember sitting in my basement
Just praying that I would make it out the O
Never seen an ocean, took a vacation, I had to
Cut some people off and give up real love
Just to do what I love, ain't that some shit
But that's a sacrifice, it's a life that you gotta give up
She was the right person, wrong time
And then that's the reason we split up
Damn, I miss my family, I ain't seen them in a minute
But I gotta keep on going, keep on hustling 'til the finish
It's for my people, puttin' on for they fam
The one that dropped out of school
And said I won't gon' be a damn
The one that used to look at crazy when I said I was gon' rap
But best believe that I'ma have the last laugh
[Chorus]
Came from the bottoms
Used to have the scrams for a couple dollars
Used to want the new Js, now I cop 'em
Now I don't even rock 'em
[Verse 2]
Yeah, uh, study the grace, set the bar, and I'm on the way
The more I hustle, the more I worship, the more I make
I'm grateful, that's why you see me pray before every play
It's not somethin' to underestimate
We in a mansion floatin' off of the Xanax
She wanna get back together, no second chances
I'm in a hot tub with my new girl
She gettin' naked, takin' shots of that Julio
[Chorus]
Came from the bottoms
Used to have the scrams for a couple dollars
Used to want the new Js, now I cop 'em
Now I don't even rock 'em
If you love her, you gotta leave her
At least inside, girl, ain't you a dreamer?
The more you make, the more they hatin' on you
'Cause it ain't always what they make it seem, yeah
[Verse 3]
It's gettin' wicked, they kill the real ones and leave the fake
I lie, that's why I keep denyin' my alibi
In case they wanna spin the block
I'm not gon' be the one gettin' shot
We don't go to the movies because we make 'em
Showin' love on the ground when they really hate 'em
Since I was twenty-one, jumpin' street, Channing Tatum
Since I was twenty-one, bad bitches, I slayed 'em
It ain't nothin' 'til you can't keep your eye on the prize
I'ma always keep it a hundred long as I'm alive, uh
I don't expect nothin' back
I'm from the middle of the map, where they don't make it out
[Chorus]
Came from the bottoms
Used to have the scrams for a couple dollars
Used to want the new Js, now I cop 'em
Now I don't even rock 'em
If you love her, you gotta leave her
At least inside, girl, ain't you a dreamer?
The more you make, the more they hatin' on you
'Cause it ain't always what they make it seem, yeah
[Outro]
If I could go back and change anything in my life, uhm
To be honest, I really wouldn't
I would've, I would've kept it the same exact way
I don't wanna skip any steps, uhm
I'm right where I wanna be
At the right time, Godspeed
