Lyrics

Cause after that he never made it work
 I guess I was my mother's bundle of joy
 Literally washed away all her dirt
 Her painkillers washed away the hurt
 My fame washed away the smirks
 I can't laugh no more
 Cause she ain't asking for no ketchup, no sugar or no cash no more
 So now all her nosy neighbors can ask is when I'm coming back off tall
 Mama just smiled with a face of grace
 It took a few Hail Marys and amazing grace
 For God to finally save the place
 Take care of her baby on his paper chase
 We made it through the shoulda coulda wouldas
 And now life is better than, better than, better than
 We made it through, so that means that you can make it too
 Gotta open your eyes, take a few
 That's the heist we tryna take it to
 But don't mean that in a way for you
 I'm not a superstar, I'm someone you relate to
 I only had one mission to get in this rap business
 As a youth, stayed hungry, writing my raps in the kitchen
 Mumble under my breath, mama tell me to wash the dishes
 But it's like we swapped eyes, how she always saw my visions
 Lil **** had dreams to be the Pistons
 Every summer I was spitting, some ignored it, some would listen
 Mama buying more equipment, every birthday, every Christmas
 Pops tried to be there, but what killed us was the distance
 The music is what healed us, we ain't sitting at the table
 But moms and pops conversate, they just happy that I made it
 Remember mama slaving, working harder than Jamaicans
 Time is money, now look how we rewarded for our patience
 My future bright, I put the fake ones where the shade is
 Like staying focused, I know how shady the game is
 I'm making money, but the money ain't what made us
 We made it through 1982
 The year I was born, the year that he stormed out
 And came back on and off with my moms
 I guess he had a different path he was on
 Work, play, play, work, living on this gutter turf
 In Lowertown, you hear the sounds of the guns squirt
 But somehow I made it, though I ain't famous enough
 To waste paper like them boys out in Vegas
 But I get on tracks with Ali Vegas
 The world is yours, but don't mean that it'll wait for you
 I'm not a superstar I'm someone you related to
