Where I'm from, you either went to school or you rapped, trapped, or you played ball

I already did all four, so I asked God what I'm made for

He just tell me keep grindin' son and please don't be takin' no days off

So I grind 365, 24-7, I can take a day off

I remember in the rainstorms, used to brainstorm how to stay strong

On the ave, wit my day ones, we ain't goin' home till the plate gone

Cops in the opps, tryna screw us over, but we stayin' out the way

Used to be my mother's only son, now I got a son on the way

Growin' up, ain't had no father figures, now my balmains full of father figures

I'm a father figure, lookin' in the mirror, know my son need a father

**** got one shot, I remember **** caught me slippin' at the bus stop

Then the fun stopped, had to get up in the gym and learn to make the gun pop

Talkin' bout ball, I used to average my name, that mean that's 40 a game

Same as the chain, I was just goin' insane, me and you are not the same

I had a dream, I couldn't go to the school that I wanted because of my grades

I was amazed, I'm tryna follow my dreams and see myself walk on the stage

Then I start trappin', then I got caught up in traffic, I do not know how it happened

I was just stackin', makin' that money do back flips

Then I just started relaxin', then it got tragic

I was locked down in a cell for 23, it turned me to a savage

Came home, then I started flexin' cause I ain't never really ever had shit

Cause where I'm from, you either went to school or you rap trapped or you played ball

And I already did all four

So I ask God what I'm made for

He just tell me keep grindin', son, and please don't be takin' no days off

So I started rappin', then a **** started snappin

Get in the booth and do magic, then I start trappin

Then I started gettin' active, now I'm writing with a passion

All of my goals, now your boy tryna pass it

Got no time for movin' backwards, all of my hoes

Now they comin' in faster, told my bros I'ma pass it, yeah

I remember me and Smoove used to go to Ocks, to cop quarter juices

Now he countin' up a quarter million, tellin' me how we can really do this

You just gotta stay focused and stay away from the bullshit

They just wanna see you brag, but they don't wanna see you prove it

They don't wanna see you out in public if they know you gon' make a movie

They"ll be ghost for the win, but they"ll be there when you losing take it

I stay away from the fake shit, you gotta know when they fake it

They wanna know when I make it, I cannot wait for the day that I tell my mama we made it

Cause where I'm from, you either went to school or you rap trapped or you play ball

And I already did all four, so I ask God what I'm made for

He just tell me keep grindin', son, then please don't be takin' no days off

So I grind 365, ****, I can take a day off

So I grind 365, ****, I can take a day off
