[Intro]
May I be excused?
'Cause I don't wanna make excuses
And when I think about the pain
When I wake up on today, man, you might have to excuse me
Dougie on the beat

[Verse 1]
Always smilin', really not the sad type
Haters always bringin' up my past life
Sometimes I feel like I was doomed before I had life
So when I got a deal, I was mad hype
I don't really party on my birthday
Sometimes it hit me in the worst way
It really goes down in my birthplace
Young stripper had it shakin' like an earthquake
Mama, they don't really know your struggle, girl but I do
Six for twenty-one like Westbrook in the Finals
Even though I got it all, came from breakin' those walls
I done made it so far

[Chorus]
May I be excused?
'Cause I don't wanna make excuses
And when I think about the pain
When I wake up on today, man, you might have to excuse me
May I be excused?
'Cause I don't wanna make excuses
And when I think about the pain
When I wake up on today, man, you might have to excuse me
May I be excused?
'Cause I don't wanna make excuses
And when I think about the pain
When I wake up on today, man, you might have to excuse me
[Verse 2]
Look
I got lil' girls lookin' at me
I'm really tryna be, not just look happy (Facts)
Yeah this Benz comfy, but I came from where it's hard
Condo in the hill from the womb, I see the stars
Tried to lock me down but like a G I beat the charge
I can show you how to win, no matter who deal the cards (That's right)
Broke a couple hearts, Band-Aids on my scars
Now we headed to the top, got some pennies for my thoughts
Yes I'm a boss, it's more than what I bought (Woo)
But trust me I'ma floss, I'm from the D, that's what we taught (Ayy)
Mink and some Buffs, couple wins 'cause we lost
May we never lose again and free my dawgs from the law (Ayy)

[Chorus]
May I be excused?
'Cause I don't wanna make excuses
And when I think about the pain
When I wake up on today, man, you might have to excuse me
May I be excused?
'Cause I don't wanna make excuses
And when I think about the pain
When I wake up on today, man, you might have to excuse me

[Outro]
So if you wonder why I go hard (I go hard)
So if you wonder why I go hard (I go hard)
So if you wonder why I go hard (I go hard)
So if you wonder why I go hard (I go hard)
