Verse 1
Am
Ayy, came a long way from that porch where **** was wicked
C Em
Remember jumping spot to spot 'cause they just tried to dodge they him
Am
But ****, I understand 'cause as a man I'm tryna get it
C Em
I got dropped from school and grabbed the tool 'cause pops said life was vicious
Am
****, I was lost but found a plan, picked it up and then I ran
C Em
Never knew this route I took would turn me up to feed my fam
Am
I thank God like everyday cause **** he helped me find my purpose
C Em
I was hurt, **** I went from hearing shots to hearing fans behind them curtains
Am C
So I know that it's working, I just stick to the plan and keep the snakes up out my circle
Em Am
'Cause the ones that say they love you be the first to try and hurt you
C Em
Dry you out and desert you, I really came from the bottom, the top don't come with no curfew
