[Intro]
I only accept whatever's meant for me
We ain't going half we going all way
Stay ten toes
Gotta keep the fam close
Yeah that's all that we know
[Hook]
I been ridin' I been rollin'
On this road for a long time
I been out here gettin' it on my own
For a long time
How you supposed to get it in this world
If you don't try
If you want the greatness it's gon' take
You a long time
[Verse]
Overnight
Don't happen overnight
If we mean success it take some grind
And oversight
Got bout 10 years in it
Can't fake that with photo likes
Better not waste no time
Young Montana that world is mine
I got it in my palm
Corleone yeah young don
This beat I slide on
New crown what I try on
This shoulder she cry on
Call me bro he a python
When I go and buy momma a crib
Call me icon
Look at all that I did now
Your lil boy
Ain't no lil kid now
Celebrate it when you make it
Now they say congratulations
[Hook]
I been ridin' I been rollin'
On this road for a long time
I been out here gettin' it on my own
For a long time
How you supposed to get it in this world
If you don't try
If you want the greatness it's gon' take
You a long time
I survive
Through the struggle
I survive
Had to hustle
I survive
Look at me yeah I'm alive
We survive All the pain
We survive
All the doubt
We survive
Yeah baby we alive
[Verse 2]
Too many claim they goats
That's a self given title
I grew up in the jungle all we've know is survival
Them choppas they be singing like American Idol
How you saying you a god but ain't write your own bible
Every line look plagiarized
Hallelujah we stayed alive
Paid dues and I paid my tithes
New York my state of mind
On the island 50 miles from Manhattan
Either you gon' die of hunger for your pockets start to fatten
Everybody trna live the fast life, tryna live lavish
A civic and ferrari get stuck in the same traffic
Focus on your drive
I say all my prayers at night
It ain't easy
Baby like the Bee Gees yeah we stay alive
[Hook]
I been ridin' I been rollin'
On this road for a long time
I been out here gettin' it on my own
For a long time
How you supposed to get it in this world
If you don't try
If you want the greatness it's gon' take
You a long time
I survive
Through the struggle
I survive
Had to hustle
I survive
Look at me yeah I'm alive
We survive All the pain
We survive
All the doubt
We survive
Yeah baby we alive
[Outro]
If you were waiting for that sign
And nobody told it to you yet
Keep going
You got it
