Came up gutter from the ditch

A lot of trouble in the sticks

Had to huddle with my brothers through all the struggle I'd never ever switch

Realest team in the mix, put the business in the bricks

Ran the sole out my kicks, I'm running running running for this shit

Look, y'all could never have this energy

I'm working the clock like there's 10 of me

Everything I got I earn fam

Cause ain't much they could ever give to me

Summer it's hot out in Tennessee

We were just on our job

And if mama knew what I was doing then she'd drop her jaw

Look I was just up there with Anthony right off of Lake Terrace by the pool at the canopy

We ain't blood but we was family

We ain't rich but we had plans to be

I was so old for my age then

Twelve years old I got caged in

Block is hot, cops patrolling

But I'd be damned if I stayed in

See I don't want to hurt nobody

I just want to be somebody

I just want to be myself,

Locked in that cell y'all tried to stop me

I was so young for my age then

Twelve years old that's a little kid

Stuck in juvie and detention

I ain't know what I was getting in

Came up gutter from the ditch

A lot of trouble in the sticks

Had to huddle with my brothers through all the struggle I'd never ever switch

Realest team in the mix, put the business in the bricks

Ran the sole out my kicks, I'm running running running for this shit

Look, y'all could never have this mind state

Hiding pain under my face

Real late and I'm wide awake

Picking crumbs off of my plate

Winter it's cold on the north side

Covid hit right before it was tour time

If 2020 couldn't slow the guys

You should take that as a sure sign

Tree team so resilient

Fuck it put that on the building

So the whole city feel it

From the mud it's rough but we built it

In the stu till the AM

I'm raising the bar up so high I get FM and AM

I'm aiming the K and its straight at the game

Turn this shit to a shootout man look

Mistake me for Luol Dang

Liu Kang flow so propane

Loose change could've went insane

Made it through like it ain't no thang

Hard work put it on my name

Went hard like it ain't no thang

Take a L but ain't no stain

Bounce back put it on my name
