Lyrics

Oow-wow, woulda thought by now
That I'd be way passed these days
By now that my top'd be down
On my brand new black Mercedes
Thought I woulda made it by now
Thought I woulda made it by now
Thought I woulda made it by now
Thought I woulda made it by now
Working 9 to 5, saving to survive
Pay the bills and put a little to the side
Anything to nudge the hustle I would buy
Anything I thought would work is what I tried
At times all my hope was by a thread
"Quit the dream and get a job," what momma said
In that moment, I was wishing for her death
Six years later she still echoes in my head
But of course, nobody else was gon' believe
Not as long as all this sh*t has taken me
Working years trying to climb up to the peak
Looking down to see I'm not as far I'm supposed to be
So people still talkin' and they make fun
But it don't mean I failed cuz I ain't won
Would've took another path, but there ain't none
It's hard to make it out where I came from
Oow-wow woulda thought by now
That I'd be way passed these days
By now that my top'd be down
On my brand new black Mercedes
Thought I woulda made it by now
Thought I woulda made it by now
Thought I woulda made it by now
Thought I woulda made it by now
All I ever did was wake up, work, and wait
Takes forever trying to make it through mistakes
Asking how much longer this sh*t gonna take
And is my energy and money right places
I sacrificed a fifty-page list
Having friends, having fun, relationships
Any affection, any love, or having kids
Mental health and every ounce of happiness
Anything you love could add it to my list
I could have it too, too busy chasing this
Lived life puzzled 'cause I never seemed to fit
Every choice I made was forced to be a risk
Kept it moving through the blood, the sweat, the tears
All that liquid that came out, it lubed my gears
Every year saying this'll be my year, damn
I been saying that for years
Grandma say she proud where I came from
Ain't locked up or shot up or on page one
Anger and depression but I ain't hung
(Here's why) A different cloth what I'm made from
Oow-wow woulda thought by now
That I'd be way passed these days
By now that my top would be down
On my brand new black Mercedes
Thought I woulda made it by now
Thought I woulda made it by now
Thought I woulda made it by now
Thought I woulda made it by now
