[Intro]
Represent it to the max
I'm just out here stating facts
Go 'head, okay (Get 'em)

[Verse 1: Dee-1]
I ain't got time to be going back and forth
With people that really ain't trying to grow
They say the whole game negative
Well, negativity ain't winning no more
This that turn-your-whole-life-around music
I-ain't-scared, I-ain't-backing-down music
I'ma call it how it is, you getting pimped
No, you ain't a boss that's clown music
Rappers living a facade
You ain't making no money, go get you a job
I don't love this game, I don't love these streets
I don't love these fans more than I love God
Whеn I tell the truth, it get 'еm nervous
These people be empty beneath the surface
Told the Man upstairs, "I'm at Your service"
I don't love this paper more than my purpose
Thought I was worthless, walking 'round this Earth just
Like a clown in a circus, but I turned this
Life 'round from a loss to a win, nothing given, I earned this
This world had me drowning, I learned how to swim
Now I wake up every day knowing I'm him
With God as my guardian, I'm gonna win
And if you ain't got the sauce, you can't pretend
[Chorus: Dee-1]
You from the gutter, they counted you out
But you changing your life, you really a star
You think you winning because you got rich off of sinning
And bought you a crib and a car
You glowing up and some people be hating
But you ain't gon' stop what you came here to do
You from the gutter, they counted you out
But you changing your life, for that I salute

[Post-Chorus: LaRussell]
Go 'head, okay
Go 'head, okay
Go 'head, okay (Ayy, ooh)
Represent it the max
I'm just out here stating facts

[Verse 2: LaRussell]
I'm standing on business and guarding my business
I'm building my worth, I'm selling my merch
I'm feeding my hood, I'm putting me first
This is the first time in a long time
They seen a Black man this free
That horse, that land, that's me
House **** like it, can't be
Why would I sell my soul for money and gold when I can get all that
From building community? I'm building immunity, defeating impunities
I'm on a wave, I'm wiping 'em out, I figured it out
I took the hate, the sticks and the stones, and built me a house
I'm independent, I got out this song at the click of a mouse
They gotta ask their master owner if it can come out
That ain't no freedom to me
I'm free as freedom could be, yeah
I gave 'em me then so they could get even
And not have a recoupment fee, you're welcome
[Chorus: Dee-1]
You from the gutter, they counted you out
But you changing your life, you really a star
You think you winning because you got rich off of sinning
And bought you a crib and a car
You glowing up and some people be hating
But you ain't gon' stop what you came here to do
You from the gutter, they counted you out
But you changing your life, for that I salute

[Post-Chorus]
Go 'head, okay
Go 'head, okay
Go 'head, okay
Represent it to the max
I'm just out here stating facts
