How I Did It

Don’t know how I made it through but I’m so have I did it

If I listened to my oppas then by now I’d be finished

I got crossed to many times that I forgot I was Christian

Only thing this money change is how I’m livin

(Oh yeah)

It’s a lifestyle

People wanna be with me just cuz my lifestyle

I gotta pray up on my knees or lay my life down

The day I got up out the streets I changed my lifestyle (yeah)

Look

Seen a 100 different reasons why I shouldn’t be breathin

But I lived to see another for a certain reason

I pray to God, to cut the grass because these serpents creepin

I beat the odds, and did some numbers, made it even

Gotta respect that

Don’t send ya mans Cuz he won’t get back

Live to see like 20 in my hood some kids ain’t felt that

System make it worse, plus these oppas is like a death trap

My foot is on they necks and they waiting for me to step back

I won’t and I promise you

Took my label money and invested in some stock and now my bread is like a comma group

Pull up to my hood wit the ceiling on astronomical

Gotta send a check if I acknowledge you

Ain’t no Givin up or Givin passes

My teachers use to tell me ain’t no future in yo path if you keep skipping all these classes

Now whatever they just made in a year, I pay in taxes

I risked it just to elevate my bracket

Never have I been a victim of no beef

And, never will I ever be a victim to these streets

Cuz my nana gettin sicker, Malachi he gotta eat

And all these things I had to do to make it out it shouldn’t teached

It’s like

I’m at a point of elevation but my lowest

When lil tina died it left me hopeless

I know that I was chosen out the bunch but time at times, I’m losin focus

It almost me stop but I was goated

Everybody got opinions and confusion

To my life and how I’m movin

I ain’t never get these calls before I got myself a Cuba

Started, breakin down the walls that’s from my past and walkin through em

Even if the weather change I’ll never fall, because I do this

I’mma big Dawg, I thought you that the last song

Shawty made a diss and promise it’ll be her last song

Hanging wit the people you steady dreamin to rap for

Made it from the muscle cuz I’m that strong

Mmmm

It ain’t easy

If I let you see my mind would you still be me

And everyday I pray to God that He would heal me

I know, in due time it’ll be easy yeah yeahh

My lifestyle in a rush

Don’t know when I’ll be comin home but I’ll make it up

Just hit me when you ready

Cuz baby I’ll ready

To let out all this anger but let’s keep it slow and steady

I Don’t know how
