[Intro]
Started in the mud
Now we up
Had to risk every chip
Every buck
If it ain’t about the grind
I’m cut
Keep it 100
That’s us (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Mama had the rent due
Fridge light
Nothin' there
I was in the hallway
Baggy in my underwear
Cousin got booked
Judge ain’t ever play fair
Learned young: ain’t nobody really gon' care
Cold nights
Hoodie tight
Posted by the stoop
Phone chirp once
Double back
Make a loop
If I took a loss
Made it back off the hoop
Turned pain into product
Then the product into coupe
Seen friends turn fed
Seen kin turn snake
Seen love turn hate when the money came late
If I said I got you
Then I’ll stand on that phrase
‘Cause I built this off respect way before I got paid
[Chorus]
From the basement to the bank
I was hustlin'
Had to get it out the mud
I was doublin'
Took L after L
But I’m up again
Kept it 100 through the struggle
I’m a one of them
From the trap to the top
I was grindin'
Every setback that I took
Had me shinin'
Did whatever that it took just to run it in
Kept it 100 through the struggle
I’m a one of them (yeah)
[Verse 2]
I remember long rides
Product in the side door
GPS off
Heart beatin' like a turf war
Paranoid prayers
“Lord
Let me see my kids more”
Then I hit the block
Treat the block like a uproar
Brody did time
Came home
Took flight
Told me “Either get a plan or you get life”
So I turned every scar to a street guide
Now the same hood hate that we three flights high
Still toss plates to the ones that was starvin'
Still pick calls from the ones in the darkness
Still give game to the shorties on the market
Tell 'em stack smart
Flip smart
Move heartless
Never changed on my day ones
Facts
If I said I got your back
I react
Came from nothin'
Now it’s numbers on the plaques
Same code
Same soul
Still real when I brag
Like
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
