I put in the work so I can boss up Pushin' through it when I felt like takin
Off though How many of us can say that we lost some
How is this a success if it never costs none
If you only knew the half If you only knew the half
If you only knew the half If you only knew the half
Remembering them days, sellin' nicks two for eight
Coppin' weed out of state just to sit it on the plate
Start to break it down, couple zips off a pound
If they didn't know me then, bet them bitches know me now
Standin' in them halls, servin' clientele
Lookin' out for jackers while I'm dodgin' jail
Focus on the mission, tryin' not to fail
Now here come one of my cousins, sayin' all well
Politicin' with them killers, did I fail to mention
Apodextures with extensions, you can catch the business
Walkin' through this part of town, you better bring your Bible
They'll send your ass to Jesus, f*ckin' with them black disciples
Come respectful when you cross this little thing of ours
A lot of niggas lost their life inside of Madden Park
Catch you lackin', leave you leakin', that's just how it goes
Got some homies doing life them niggas never told
I put in the work so I can boss up
Pushin' through it when I felt like takin' off though
How many of us can say that we lost some
How is it success if it never costs none
If you only knew the half
If you only knew the half
If you only knew the half
If you only knew the half
From the low end of Chicago, now I'm chasin' dreams
Puttin' hella fire on these tracks since I was 17
Had some partners with some scholarships to U of E
I was with my cousin with the carbine tryin' to work the beam
Slap boxin' with the homies, gotta test your skills
Now the spots that I vacation overlook the hills
I befriended all the smokers tryin' to serve them pills
Went from trafficking the block to now we doin' deals
Private meetin' with some bosses is a different feelin
Talkin' bout the type of business you can leave your children
Place your eggs in different baskets, then you gain the leverage
Family fortune like the wayans, hope you get the message
Keep your integration vertical and lock the board
Get a trust to run your companies and up the score
Lock your mind on elevation, it'll crack the door
I've been preppin' for this season, see you in the forbes
I put in the work so I can boss up
Pushin' through it when I felt like takin' off though
How many of us can say that we lost some
How is this a success if it never costs none
If you only knew to half
If you only knew to half
If you only knew to half
If you only knew to half
