[Intro]
Yeah…
Ain’t nothin’ free.
Let’s be clear.
⸻
[Hook]
Ain’t get nothin’ handed, I took what I wanted
Pressure on my back but I’m still steady stompin’
They see me winnin’, don’t know what it cost me
Same ones doubted, now the same ones watchin’
Came from nothin’, I ain’t have no options
Life was ugly, had to move real cautious
I don’t talk reckless, I stand on it
Came up the hard way — no handouts
⸻
[Verse 1 – Lil Baby Energy]
I was down bad dreamin’ bigger than my situation
Now I’m movin’ with intent, every step got calculation
They want the shine but don’t want dedication
I was patient in the rain, now I reap precipitation
Bills due, stress high, still stayed calm
I been broke before, that made me strong
Every loss turned fuel, made me dangerous
Pain taught lessons, I ain’t need no management
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t flex for attention or praise
I flex ‘cause I earned my place
They talk loud but don’t move much
I stay quiet, let my progress speak up
⸻
[Hook]
Ain’t get nothin’ handed, I took what I wanted
Pressure on my back but I’m still steady stompin’
They see me winnin’, don’t know what it cost me
Same ones doubted, now the same ones watchin’
Came from nothin’, I ain’t have no options
Life was ugly, had to move real cautious
I don’t talk reckless, I stand on it
Came up the hard way — no handouts
⸻
[Verse 2 – Pooh Shiesty Tone (Clean)]
I don’t play both sides, pick one
If it’s tension in the room, I stand firm
People cap online, never done nothin’
I don’t argue with doubters, I outwork ‘em
Trust real thin, circle even thinner
Seen too many switch when they see a winner
I ain’t friendly with envy or fake love
If it ain’t ‘bout growth, I don’t show up
⸻
[Bridge – Cold & Dark]
Every scar on me came from survivin’
Ain’t no luck in this, just constant grindin’
They fold under pressure, start hidin’
I get sharper, more focused, more silent
⸻
[Verse 3 – Switch Flow]
I remember nights I was stressed and tired
Ask God for a sign, still pushed through fire
Now the money talk different, tone shifted
Same hunger, just more discipline
People fall off ‘cause they love the image
I stay solid ‘cause I love the mission
If I lose today, I’m back tomorrow
Same pain, more wisdom, more vision
⸻
[Final Hook]
Ain’t get nothin’ handed, I took what I wanted
Built from the gutter, that’s permanent hunger
They see the shine now, don’t know what it cost me
Pain made me sharp, I ain’t ever get sloppy
Street lessons, no rulebooks, no passes
Every win backed by balance
I don’t need love, I need progress
Came up the hard way — no handouts
⸻
[Outro]
Yeah…
No favors.
No shortcuts.
Just results.
