I have it plotted out just like a broke **** gotta

On my stop I tell mama la parada

Samad cook it up yer

I know what I can be

I do, I do

Selling out ain't it for me, so

Ride through, ride through

I know what I can be

I do, I do

Society is misery, brimstone and watu, watu

Ooh, I've been on my grind

Had to take it one day at a time

Remember nights I would pray for a guide

Stomach empty, but I'm hungry for a life better

Something's gotta change

Pray to God that I find a way

Sacrifice is the price to pay

Although it ain't in my sight, there's a life better

Rough and rugged

My car broke down I need a ride Im thinking fuck it

I'll call up my boy and cash app him a little something

Account at negative 15, I need to budget

Now I'm scrapping for change I know the boy just got to bus it

Appointment on 67th, I maybe late

I live on 10th, I hop on the 88

A dollar fifty all in quarters I give to the lady straight and then take a seat

My last quarters in the pocket to repeat

Just know the kid set

Relax, take a look up out the window and get impressed

Looking at the world surprised hunger hasn't set in yet

Need breakfast, I get paid next week, I'll buy food with credit and use the debit to relinquish the debt

I have it plotted out just like a broke **** gotta

On my stop I tell mama la parada

And walk right off the bus like it's the usual

Don't know what it is but something in the struggle make it beautiful

Ooh, I've been on my grind

Had to take it one day at a time

Remember nights I would pray for a guide

Stomach empty, but I'm hungry for a life better

Something's gotta change

Pray to God that I find a way

Sacrifice is the price to pay

Although it ain't in my sight, there's a life better

I know what I can be

I do, I do

Selling out ain't it for me, so

Ride through, ride through

I know what I can be

I do, I do

Society is misery, brimstone and watu, watu

I remember working retail

Living check to check, check engine light on

I was getting snaked like I live with pythons

And the only avenue I had to vent was my songs

I was taking Ls like I robbed a dispensary

A lot of friends turned to distant memories

Only had a couple **** that was defending me

They the same ones still wishing the best for me

Like Shakur Stevenson, I got my team in my corner

Undefeatable is how I feel when I start recording

The famous proverb is time will tell

I was told that I could do it so I might as well

Don't know where the time went

Wish I could rewind this on some Nas shit

Struggle with my life but trust the process

Too much on my mental so I chill and the bump the homie that's a vibe check

This classic that we got's a lot to digest

Praying on our downfall, promise you'll see God next

Moving as a team so we conquer ain't no contest

Almost lost my way but I got it I know I'm blessed

Cuz my brothers show me love and give me guidance

Ooh, I've been on my grind

Had to take it one day at a time

Remember nights I would pray for a guide

Stomach empty, but I'm hungry for a life better

Something's gotta change

Pray to God that I find a way

Sacrifice is the price to pay

Although it ain't in my sight, there's a life better

Society is misery, brimstone and watu, watu
