Had to elevate my life and leave some friends behind, I had to

You could've been ballin' right here with me, I can't feel bad for you

They tell me what you sayin' behind my back, no, I'm not mad at you

I knew it was gon' be like this, back when I was on the avenue

Had to elevate my life and leave some friends behind, I had to

You could've been ballin' right here with me, I can't feel bad for you

They tell me what you sayin' behind my back, no, I'm not mad at you

I knew it was gon' be like this, when I was on the avenue

I had to go and elevate, ayy, climbin' high, I won't let up

Hardly catchin' my breath, they havin' trouble tryna

They havin' trouble, can't catch up,

Must've made the wrong moves

I ain't sorry, I ain't jealous

I'm just doin' what I do

Knowin' I can't take em all, still I gotta take a few

Always racin' to the top, tell my mom I love the view

I been ballin' like LeBron, M.I.A. to L.A

Always fade when I shoot, hard to judge, what's the play

At the rim, too cool, understand or get passed

Tired of walkin', float past

Put my heart in these songs

Climbin' up outta my past

They just ain't built to last

Like I'm Ford, built tough, like the muscle car tough

I can stomach when it's rough, I been workin' all year

Switchin' the flows like gears,

Now my name ringin' bells

And you could've been here

Name ringin' bells now

And you could've been here

Had to elevate my life and leave some friends behind, I had to

You could've been ballin' right here with me, I can't feel bad for you

They told me what you sayin', behind my back, no, I'm not mad at you

I knew it was gon' be like this when I was on that avenue

Had elevate my life and leave some friends behind, I had to

You could've been ballin' right here with me, I can't feel bad for you

They told me what you sayin', behind my back, no, I'm not mad at you

I knew it was gon' be like this when I was on that avenue

I knew it was gon' be like this, had to leave some friends behind

All that love was making me blind, had to change the vision

Now the checks I'm gettin', ain't no stressful livin

I can flex a little, cause the bank is bigger

They think I'm that ****, hmm, shit, I think it too

Payin' with my money, ain't no tellin' what I might do

Had to cut you off and that hit different cause I liked you

Tryna come back around, you better beat it just like Michael

Money on the floor, the same shit I had to go through

Had to elevate my life and leave some friends behind, I had to

You could've been ballin' right here with me, I can't feel bad for you

They told me what you sayin', behind my back, no, I'm not mad at you

I knew it was gon' be like this when I was on the avenue
