[Intro]
(Yeah)
Told ’em I’d make it, they laughed at me
Now it’s double R’s when I casually
Used to ride dirty, no tags on me
Now I’m the one puttin’ bags on it
[Hook]
I came up, but I’m still me (Still me)
Changed my life, but I’m still street (Still street)
Lost some friends, they ain’t built deep (Nah)
Now I’m rich, but I still bleed (Yeah)
All these chains can’t hide pain
Took them L’s, had to ride rain
They ain’t help, they just said things
Now they call, but it don’t ring
[Verse 1]
I was stuck in the trap with a dream and a Smith
Now it’s Patek on my wrist and it gleam when I lift
I ain’t flexin’ for likes, this the life that I live
Told my dawg we gon’ make it, he died in a bid
I got scars you can’t see, they too deep for a doc
I was broke, they was cool, now they all wanna talk
When you start gettin’ motion, they be prayin’ you drop
But I prayed to the Lord, now I’m high like a stock
I don’t fold, I don’t panic, I just run it up slow
Kept my ten toes down when they wanted me gone
Used to ride dirty solo, no location on phone
Now I’m countin’ a hundred while I’m flyin’ back home
[Hook]
I came up, but I’m still me (Still me)
Changed my life, but I’m still street (Still street)
Lost some friends, they ain’t built deep (Nah)
Now I’m rich, but I still bleed (Yeah)
All these chains can’t hide pain
Took them L’s, had to ride rain
They ain’t help, they just said things
Now they call, but it don’t ring
[Verse 2]
Told my mama I got her forever
Told my bros we gon’ die or get better
I was riskin’ my life for a letter
Now I’m floodin’ the game with no effort
Still watchin’ my back in the ‘Rari
Still duckin’ the fakes at the party
Still humble but savage and smart
Still came from the block, not a chart
I remember them nights with no dinner
Now it’s steak and the shrimp with a sprinter
I don’t talk, I just show I’m a winner
All them losses just made me a killer
[Outro]
Yeah…
I came up, but I stayed real
Too much pain you can’t fake, still
Lot of hate, but I ain’t feel
I just grind and I stay still
(Still me)
