[Intro]
DJ Swift on the track
Hey, hey

[Chorus]
I been going so hard for all the times I couldn't afford shit
Piss poor, I was avoiding rent
Mad at school 'cause I got creases in my Forces
And for the first time in my life I feel important
I done blowed up state to state, it shows now
Switching lanes in foreign things, bitch, I'm on the road now
And they ain't gave me a thing, bitch, I got it with no help
'Cause nobody got me like I got myself, yeah yeah, hey

[Verse 1]
Came in this world alone, that's the same way I'm going out
A couple homies, but all by my lonely when I'm in doubt
'Cause when shit hit the fan, it be your mans who run they mouth
So I can't trust you, I'ma hustle, I'm still swinging in the drought
When I'm good, you 'round, but when I'm down I was assed out
Couldn't ask mom for money, we beefing, I ran away from her house
Sleepless nights tryna shake back, only Chauncey looked out
Riding with your mans, ain't no manners, you slip and he steal your clout
A back door n***a, man, this world fucked up
Thank the Lord I went pro, them powers, I lucked up
Good clean got my phone swangin', music got my name ringin'
Show my ass for times I had nothin'
So when you're broke, they be changing

[Chorus]
I been going so hard for all the times I couldn't afford shit
Piss poor, I was avoiding rent
Mad at school 'cause I got creases in my Forces
And for the first time in my life I feel important
I done blowed up state to state, it shows now
Switching lanes in foreign things, bitch, I'm on the road now
And they ain't gave me a thing, bitch, I got it with no help
'Cause nobody got me like I got myself, yeah yeah, hey

[Verse 2]
Even though I love hard I can't trust you
'Cause once you let 'em get too close, they burn your ass like Usher
And we can fuck, but we can't cuddle
How I'm 'posed to love you? Point in time I lost love for my mother
But that's a different story, now it's money that I'm in it for
'Cause it's a dirty game, n***as sell they soul for fame, carnivores
Use you 'til it ain't beneficial, but I ain't goin' for it
Took me time to tighten up my rhymes, remember getting ignored
But now it's big shit poppin'
When y'all was pop lockin' droppin'
I tucked them grams, in the pot I dropped it
Everything happened for a reason, all my blessings with it
Came from nothing, now I'm that lil' n***a with them benefits

[Chorus]
I been going so hard for all the times I couldn't afford shit
Piss poor, I was avoiding rent
Mad at school 'cause I got creases in my Forces
And for the first time in my life I feel important
I done blowed up state to state, it shows now
Switching lanes in foreign things, bitch, I'm on the road now
And they ain't gave me a thing, bitch, I got it with no help
'Cause nobody got me like I got myself, yeah yeah, hey

[Outro]
Hey, just keep pushin', man
You don't need nobody, you know
Long as you believe in yourself
That's all that matters
Whether it's trappin' or rappin', anything in between
Just get out there and go get it, man
Remain focused, you know?
'Cause nobody got you like you got yourself, yeah
RIP Boola, RIP Bighead, man, free Chauncey, I love you, bro
Nobody got you like you got yourself, yeah yeah, hey
