Lyrics:
Ey, from a place where the money ain’t coming,
But my pops, yeah made it out the trenches,
He made sure that all the things that we needed, we got it right then,
Yeah,
But life ain’t that simple,
So many things I done been sinful,
I wish I could take away some of the things I done seen in the past,
Ey,
You know my name not my story, woah
I look to god for all my glory, yeah,
I got a tale of one kid who done grew up viewing life like a muh f**** hobby, woah
A young king who never worried, or feared, overthinking bout shit, I was jolly, scoff
I swear to god, who could stop me,
Huh… swear to god who could stop me, yeah
But shit change, I started seeing some patterns, I started seeing things,
You see the money was flowing, but then the fam changed,
I saw my momma crying tears, it was in disarray,
My brother so close to dying, he was gon’ go away,
He is my idol, I done shed some tears like every day,
And if you wanted the truth, then I hope you hear my pain,
I put my heart on this paper, not for some paper gain,
Ey,
You think the paper gon’ save your soul, well think again,
You gotta pray for some goals, then pray for M’s,
I started rolling that dope, thought it would cleanse,
And now I’m smoking my thoughts away, let’s make amends,
Ey…
I was feeling confined,
But I got a hold of the problem, I had to flip the dimes,
Bossing up ain’t so easy when you don’t got much time,
And I swear that I had to boss up, I chose to spit some rhymes,
I made a choice one day, that im gon’ change the f**** world,
All the things I seen and I been thru, got me some lessons learned,
Devoting myself to people who seen the lowest lows,
One day you’ll see me on the stage, this is the life I chose
Ey, from a place where the money ain’t coming,
But my pops, yeah made it out the trenches,
He made sure that all the things that I needed, I got it right then,
Yeah,
But life ain’t that simple,
So many things I done been sinful,
I wish I could take away some of the things I done seen in the past,
