[Verse – August Wild]
All I ever wanted in this life was to provide
The life I’m living now I dreamt when I was 5
Comin out the east side
When the family got us out cause they was trying to survive
I ain’t ever ever goin back to barely getting by
I remember how it used to be
It’s not the shit you brag about
Sleeping on the floor, we as living at my gramma house
Daddy never cried he was trynna be a man about
Losing everything that I he loved
He couldn’t stand around
Doin nothing
That’s why I’m after something bigger than myself
But kinda like my Daddy I don’t need nobody help
Cause every fucking time I tried to trust somebody else
They leave me there to die every single time I fell
It turned me to real cold body
Had me walkin round this life like I know nobody
I don’t hold no body to the bar that I set
And the day I stop going for my dreams, I’ll be dead
[Verse – NittyGritty]
Dream chasing, complacent I’m Feeling last place
I’m On a mission
They don’t listen to me anyway
I’m Speaking real shit
I swear I’m past fake
Saw my brother through the glass
But I can’t break
Heartbreak
Thought I’d be further I Guess it’s too late
Can’t say that I had a father
Man, I hate his face
And We look alike
But we took different paths
Music was my destiny
I’d die if I ain’t wrote a rap
Spoke a fact
Now you relatin and tell me that was gas
Underestimated I’m Hated
I Hope I make ’em mad
I just wanna vent through the interface
Just wanna piss people off Today
Lookin at my wrist
It ain’t gold today
Still I’m authentic
Pretending ain’t what I demonstrate
see my face Struggle is written on it
I see my fate
They still waiting on me
They’ll have to visit my grave
[Verse – Cisco]
You know
Many people we love
We owe thanks to
And without them
We wouldn’t be able to thank you
Pushin for somethin much bigger than myself
Puttin weights on my body these muscles gon help
I don’t do this shit for nobody but my own self
You thinkin that im selfish but you never lent help
How the fuck can I respect you but you don’t respect ya self
without a father to bother I was stuck on that shelf
Since 6yrs old been giving myself advice
Explains why the lefts that I took weren’t right
Was meant for the pen but I put one in my hand
Without my grandmother a nigga would’ve been dead
Reachin for the heavens everytime I think bad
I think back bout the bad times that we had
The places we once was and the ppl that we got now
Grateful to be headed for heights we never thought bout
Can’t comprehend all the obstacles overcame
Could give a fuck if they know me or know my name
