Verse 3
May you never get so full of yourself/ you forget days when you was starving
Humble working hard pulling up at the apartments/
Phone on do not disturb/ I don't feel like talking/

I put myself in hell's kitchen trying to make a meal (mill)

Went to school of hard knock never learned to love/
But it's all good/
The telling lies we staying true to our self/
Flaws and all i'm just my beautiful self/
