[Intro]
Late nights
Same hoodie, same block, same fight
Eyes red
But I swear my vision still bright (still bright)
[Verse 1]
I was broke, had to laugh it off
Stomach talking, I would mask it off
Mom stressin', all the past due calls
I hit prayer when the bag too small
Cold floors, used my coat as a blanket
Whole fam tryna live off advances
All this pain, I just turned into chances
Every “no” put some steel in my backbone
Saw my brother take a case, never came home
Now I’m runnin’ from the grave and the payphone
Can’t stop, put the weight on my name
If I lose, then we stay in the same zone
[Chorus]
Still gotta get it, I ain’t done yet (nah)
I came from nothin’, I ain’t run yet (never)
Turn all these losses to a sunset
Promise my people we ain’t done yet
Still gotta get it, I’ma die tryin’ (die tryin’)
Turn every tear into a gold diamond
They want me broken but I keep climbin’
Still gotta get it, I ain’t done shinin’ (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Hit the mirror like, “You gotta be harder”
Heart heavy but my grind go farther
I was sleepin’ on the floor by the charger
Now I’m talkin’ to the plug like a partner
Used to duck blue lights on the corner
Now I study every line on the contract
I remember when the shoes had holes
Now I’m steppin’ like I gotta bring the squad back
Told lil’ sis, “You ain’t cry no more”
I’ma turn that pain to a front-row show
Told my ex, “I forgive, then I let that go”
Can’t heal if I live in the old smoke
So I’m up late, eyes on the sunrise
Same dream since a kid with the shut eyes
If the world say quit, I say one time
For the fam, for the block, let the stars rise (hey!)
[Chorus]
Still gotta get it, I ain’t done yet (ain’t done)
I came from nothin’, I ain’t run yet (I won’t)
Turn all these losses to a sunset
Promise my people we ain’t done yet
Still gotta get it, I’ma die tryin’ (yeah)
Turn every tear into a gold diamond
They want me broken but I keep climbin’
Still gotta get it, I ain’t done shinin’ (still shinin’)
