Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Something I gotta tell somebody, just in case you didn't know
I gotta show you where I came from, so you can see where I gotta go
See I started out with nothing and I've been through some things
But there really ain't a difference, I gotta gotta little change
[Verse 2]
I've been hood rich and I've been broke
Singing in the choir y'all, even sold dope
See I've been clean and I've been high
Lived like a king and I had to get by
Had a couple tens in my bed at one time
Took 'em down as bitches when I didn't have a dime
Seen it all, heard it all, did it all
Appreciate the rise, hope I never gotta fall
[Verse 3]
Always thought that it would be good
But I never had it this good
I remember doing bad when a **** didn't have
Now I'm thinking back
Always thought that it would be good
But I never had it this good
Had to get it how I could, I was so misunderstood
Out the hood, now it's all good
[Verse 4]
Old friends came in with
Saying that I didn't act the same
But I wasn't really different
It was them who started to change
Had to go a new direction
Didn't wanna let 'em go
That was way before I noticed
That they didn't wanna grow
[Verse 5]
I've been hood rich and I've been broke
Singing in the choir y'all, even sold dope
See I've been clean and I've been high
Lived like a king and I had to get by
And I had a couple tens in my bed at one time
Took 'em down as bitches when I didn't have a dime
Seen it all, heard it all, did it all
Appreciate the rise, hope I never gotta fall
[Verse 6]
Always thought that it would be good
But I never had it this good
I remember doing bad when a **** didn't have
Now I'm thinking back
Always thought that it would be good
But I never had it this good
Had to get it how I could, I was so misunderstood
Out the hood, now it's all good
