[Verse 1]
Million Dollar baby, yeah I had it all
Till that day when I saw my mommas tears fall
Broken heart, sure the devil really did me good
Skipped school, I started smoking on that backwood
I prayed for better days, until that paper came
Switched it up, now that young boy self-made
Drinking problems, my sister Shonda, she finally solved 'em
Auntie Cretia, I never see her, I probably need her
I remember dark days on that death bed
Long nights on that pillow where my tears shed
Long thoughts and meditation to numb the pain
A premonition to go and get it, I'm chasing fame
But I swear I'ma never look back though
I know they see me but I only let my back show
The devil tried to guide me, but I got tunnel vision
God's plan was to help me make better decisions
Bumps in the road, those signs were pretty scary
No Timmy Turner but I was wishin' for that god fairy
Odd times, yeah this little light of mine
Kari Kai, yeah they let me shine for a better me
That purple clark boy, that's a friend of me
That black soul drained me for my energy, it's clear to see
Next time you speak of my name, you gon' pay a fee
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
Cheverly passin', rooms full of passion
Coops full of trash with, booze in the back seat
Tools I was lackin', for fame and reactions
Ghosts from my passes, closing in faster
Chokin' on cabbage, days full of laughter
Weeks full of pain, evil way tactics
Love in my right hand, hate in my heart
Girl in my left eye, worlds we're apart
Pain in my chest, these words can't express
My love for the game, I'm going insane
I'm remember long nights and those dark days
When my heart was black, my mind stuck in a dark place
Found my way out, I had to go where the sharks play
Just to be free and think of all of the smart ways
Damn! My dreams
It was never as glorious as it seemed
It was dark, it was cold
The promise land I was told
It put my mind in the clouds
It turned my heart into mold
I'm in the fight of my life
I had to pick up a shovel and dig my way to the light
And despite all that, pain
And all that struggle I've been through
The color of my skin, now that's the reason I can't lose
The future is in my hands, see that's the reason you can't choose my fate
This world is my place
I need you to look at me
See the pain in my face
Yeah!
