So many nights I gave up, so many times I gave up

Struggling what made us, hustling what saved us

So many nights I tried and tried, so many nights I'd grind and grind

Finally I feel it's time to shine for all of those nights from time to time

I'm just reachin' my shirt and my sneakers

I get in my feelings and start buying purses for eaters

I turn all the hurt to believers, I don't fuck with rappers

Ain't sellin' no verses or features, I don't fuck with preachers or teachers

They lie to your face, how could you ever believe 'em?

I turn in the game from the bleachers, I'm good game forever

Could never get left or deceive 'em, hey, I'm turnin' the hurt to believers

I come from the curb, chasin' out smokers and geekers

Remember I hustled for sneakers

Feds in the hood, was finna go buy me a beeper

Beeper, the freak night to leave you

I buy her a purse so she can show all her people

After she show all her people

All of her brothers and cousins gon' ask for a feature

'Member when a **** felt stuck? Stayed down till I came up

'Member when a **** gave up? Now a young **** caged up

Uncle D taught me save up, showed me how to step my game up

Same labels who played us, same labels who pay us

So many nights I gave up, so many times I gave up

Struggling what made us, hustling what saved us

So many nights I tried and tried, so many nights I'd grind and grind

Finally I feel it's time to shine for all of those nights from time to time

I'm just reachin' my shirt and my sneakers

I get in my feelings and start buying purses for eaters

I turn all the hurt to believers, I don't fuck with rappers

Ain't sellin' no verses or features, I don't fuck with preachers or teachers

They lie to your face, how could you ever believe 'em?

I turn in the game from the bleachers, I'm good game forever

Could never get left or deceive 'em

So many nights I gave up, so many times I gave up

Struggling what made us, hustling what saved us

So many nights I tried and tried, so many nights I'd grind and grind

Finally I feel it's time to shine for all of those nights from time to time

I'm just reachin' my shirt and my sneakers

I get in my feelings and start buying purses for eaters

I turn all the hurt to believers, I don't fuck with rappers

Ain't sellin' no verses or features, I don't fuck with preachers or teachers

They lie to your face, how could you ever believe 'em?

I turn in the game from the bleachers

I'm good game forever, could never get left or deceive 'em
