Remind Myself

Hook
I must remind myself I'm not defined by wealth
Yeah you got ice up on your watch but give it time, it melts
I wrote this bar myself, for that I pride myself
'Cuz everybody now be talking through somebody else
Ma didn't raise no bitch, so I don't take no shit
From anybody you can try me but you'll pay in the end
I must remind myself I'm here to raise yo kids
Remind myself that I'm a king, no shit

Verse 1
Money's been a problem ever since I was young
And tags were popping, slurping ramen every time it was lunch
Y'all are blinded by these diamonds, cars to drive in and such
But guys my eyes are on the prize all eyes my rhyming can touch
I was a silent scrawny white kid while my mind's in a rut
And momma's crying, daddy's lyin bout last night where he was
I was nine and I was watching all my friend's load a gun
But knew with time and pressure diamonds are what lie in the rough

Hook
Now I must remind myself I'm not defined by wealth
Yeah you got ice up on your watch but give it time, it melts
I wrote this bar myself, for that I pride myself
'Cuz everybody now be talking through somebody else
Ma didn't raise no bitch, so I don't take no shit
From anybody you can try me but you'll pay in the end
I must remind myself I'm here to raise yo kids
Remind myself that I'm a king, no shit

Verse 2
My brother, sister, dad, mom, and I had to sleep in a garage
It was that or on the side of the street 'cuz rent was high
Had to eat what we could find every penny every dime
We saved for three years til we finally saved enough to buy
A house of our own, man my own fucking room
I was so grateful to call a house my fucking room
Our own kitchen to roam, our own sink and a stove
The things you taking for granted are things that I fucking won't

Hook
'Cuz I must remind myself I'm not defined by wealth
Yeah you got ice up on your watch but give it time, it melts
I wrote this bar myself, for that I pride myself
'Cuz everybody now be talking through somebody else
Ma didn't raise no bitch, so I don't take no shit
From anybody you can try me but you'll pay in the end
I must remind myself I'm here to raise yo kids
Remind myself that I'm a king, no shit
