Uhh... I'm already living my dream but I remember when it was a vision to me to see myself on top and spending some cheese comin from tha bottom wasn't appealing to me
Didn't have one bread c.e.n.t I was tired being b.r.o.k.e started sellin green w.e.e.d and ended up sellin white.d.o.p.e from a bench to a couch with foldout bed didn't sleep on it I stash work inside of it
Instead even if it was rainin tha block still got bled you don't work you don't eat that's what somebody said I was riding tha bus [? ] was riding red j-rock was riding blue them had bread motivated my hustle
I was full speed ahead even doe tha kids won't mind they still got fed my nigas were comin up I was just breaking ground 15s in they trunk my trunk didn't make a sound it made a young niga really wanna move around tha
Way tha hataz and all tha hoes talk down but dope still sold and my pockets got fatta if a women had beef then I already had her ppl will chitta chatta but to me it didn't matta I was bumpin for a profit tryna climb up tha ladda

I grind in tha studio all night long from a start to tha finish of anotha tight song a platinum plaque is what I set my sights it's a master piece soon as I turn my mic on but workin in tha lab is tha easy part some ppl will finish before they can even start
