Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mama had three jobs

I had three bus routes

One for the school

One straight to the plug house

One to the dreams

Greyhound, broke seat, stretched out

Prayin' for a window

Woke up at the last stop, stressed out

Couch surf, auntie floor, roach on the remote

Uncle sippin' storm in a styrofoam boat

He said "Boy, pick a poison or a purpose"

I was writin' verses on the back of his court notice

[Chorus]

I'm halfway out the mud, toes still stuck

Hand on the ladder, heart on luck

If the rain don't stop, I might flood this block

Turn pain to a pocket full of crumpled up knots

I'm halfway out the mud, still stain on my soul

One foot in the past, other foot on gold

If I slip, I slide where the cold ones go

So I climb, I climb, 'til my hands let go (yeah)

[Verse 2]

Coach said "Run routes"

I was runnin' from doubt

That field had dreams

But the scale had clout

Homie ran plays

'til the reaper called timeout

Jury took minutes

Took his twenties, took his shine out

I learned quick, every corner got a plot twist

Smile with a side eye, handshake with the side dish

Drama on the stove, mama stirrin' up the light bill

I was tryna bargain with a God I ain't write still

Talkin' 'if you get us through the night,

I will never touch the white'

Then I counted what we owed

And I almost changed my mind

Saw my little sister sleep

With her book bag like a shield

That's the night I took the pen

Like a pistol in the field (pow)

[Chorus]

I'm halfway out the mud, toes still stuck

Hand on the ladder, heart on luck

If the rain don't stop, I might flood this block

Turn pain to a pocket full of crumpled up knots

I'm halfway out the mud, still stain on my soul

One foot in the past, other foot on gold

If I slip, I slide where the cold ones go

So I climb, I climb, 'til my hands let go

[Bridge]

Every scar on my name

Is a barcode, ring at the gate (ring)

Every loss that I take

Got a side bet tucked in the safe

If the sky fall down

Imma still look up

'Cause the dirt know me

But it never owned us (nah)

[Chorus]

I'm halfway out the mud, toes still stuck

Hand on the ladder, heart on luck

If the rain don't stop, I might flood this block

Turn pain to a pocket full of crumpled up knots

I'm halfway out the mud, still stain on my soul

One foot in the past, other foot on gold

If I slip, I slide where the cold ones go

So I climb, I climb, 'til my hands let go
