Ever since a young'in I knew I was different
I came from the bottom I came from the trenches
I been through so much shit that I don't like to mention
I'm grinding every day I swear I'm on a mission
I know they out there plotting and they out to get me
I know they see that I'm the hottest in my city
How they change up for the cash f*cking up a friendship
I'm tired of the struggle man wanna end this
Let me tell you a story about this nigga Amos
Whole life all he wanted was to be rich and famous
Started hanging in the streets with niggas out there banging
Ask my mom, she the first person to see these changes
Came home face looking like I fought Tyson
She said what you in a gang and just start crying
I told her nah, she told me I was lying
I said mamma I'm just out here trying
Didn't listen went to prison changed came out different
Met some Jewish niggas showed me how to really get it
Showed me how to make dollar turn from a penny
Got a couple homies out there went through this shit with me
We just trynna get million without a deal
My boys passed up a hundred k, you don't know how it feels
Word play got cold, my stories unfold
The life of a young king untold
Nigga
Ever since a young'in I knew I was different
I came from the bottom I came from the trenches
I been through so much shit that I don't like to mention
I'm grinding every day I swear I'm on a mission
I know they out there plotting and they out to get me
I know they see that I'm the hottest in my city
I done changed up for the cash f*cking up some friendships
I'm tired of the struggle man wanna end this
These good times come with pain
Gotta get through the rain
Need to be careful who you talk to
And with that you say
Thoughts running through my brain
Some things they never change
Some people go and get it
Others need someone to blame
Even when I wasn't in position
I still tried to put you in position
You'd never listen
I Tried to put some money in your pocket
Instead you turned around and started plottin'
They know we got it
They see us shinning
The gold and diamonds
Gone leave you blinded
So many diamonds I'm bad with timing
I lost my soul, but I knew I'd find it
Ever since a young'in I knew I was different
I came from the bottom I came from the trenches
I been through so much shit that I don't like to mention
I'm grinding every day I swear I'm on a mission
I know they out there plotting and they out to get me
I know they see that I'm the hottest in my city
I done changed up for the cash f*cking up some friendships
I'm tired of the struggle man wanna end this
