(Verse)
Growing up, I remember when
I used to be alone in the world I was living in
But now I`m on the road
A different city every day and the whole world`s listening
(Verse)
I`d say my victories prove it
And they can never take it from me
All my enemies slow down
`Cause you know you`ll never catch me
(Pre-Hook)
Do it all for my people
`Cause they`re the ones that give me pride
I think feel there is life for my people
Let`s have a toast, just you and I
(Hook)
Because I`m proud I turned my life upside down
Said there`s no one else with a reason to doubt
Say what you like `cause I don`t hear it all
I`m alright, I`m doing fine
Just celebrating, be proud
Don`t be mad `cus I`m doing things you just can`t (x3)
(Verse)
My the times have changed
I never had the attention but now it gets paid
Took a long time for people to mention my name
But what the fuck is underrated when you`re under the radar?
You hearin what I`m sayin today
I learned a whole lot of shit from the place that I came
Now I think back when I was up in the fader
Before I had the deal, before I became major
And that`s my life, it`s all in a moment
Before I met Ill Mind, before I exploded
Said I was just a kid looking for a reason to focus
Before I met Ill Mind, before I exploded
And that`s why I…
(Pre-Hook)
Do it all for my people
`Cause they`re the ones that give me pride
I think feel there is life for my people
Let`s have a toast, just you and I
(Hook)
Because I`m proud I turned my life upside down
Said there`s no one else with a reason to doubt
Say what you like `cause I don`t hear it all
I`m alright, I`m doing fine
Just celebrating, be proud
Don`t be mad `cus I`m doing things you just can`t (x3)
(Bridge)
They just wanna hate me
No, they won`t congratulate me, yea
There ain`t no say you`re me
Even if they`re tryin to imitate me
But I… I don`t pay too much mind because I`m proud
And I sing it out loud
(Hook)
Because I`m proud I turned my life upside down
Said there`s no one else with a reason to doubt
Say what you like `cause I don`t hear it all
I`m alright, I`m doing fine
Just celebrating, be proud
Don`t be mad `cus I`m doing things you just can`t (x2)
