(Verse 1)
Came from the ground, had to fight for a place
No silver spoon, just dreams and faith
Late-night shifts, no time to waste
Had to take that risk, had to raise that stake
Now they watch, now they talk
But they wasn’t there when the grind got tough
They don’t know about the times I lost
Had to bet on me when the doors got locked
Every move I made had weight on my name
Every step I took brought fire and pain
Now the tables turn, and the lights got bright
But I still stay sharp ‘cause the snakes still bite
---
(Chorus)
They don’t work like us, nah
They don’t hurt like us, nah
They don’t fight like us, nah
They don’t earn like us, nah
We don’t stop, we don’t stall
When we drop, it shake the walls
We don’t bend, we stand tall
When we step, they know who called
---
(Verse 2)
I know what it’s like when the money too low
Bills stack up, and the stress won’t go
Friends disappear when the funds run dry
But they pop back up when the shine get high
I don’t need fake love, I don’t chase that hype
I don’t need advice from the ones who lied
I don’t fold, I don’t break
I don’t change for the ones who hate
Look, I been real since day one
If I lose, I still won
Built from fire, I can’t run
Pressure hit, I don’t stun
---
(Interlude)
(Ayy, ayy, ayy!)
Yeah, they talk, but they don’t really know
They see the wins, but they don’t see the lows
I had to build when nobody believed
Now they all act like they part of the team? Nah.
---
(Verse 3)
Had to cut ‘em off, no dead weight
Had to level up, no escape
Had to put the work in, no breaks
Now I run the race at my own pace
Came too far, I won’t stop now
Had my back to the wall, but I broke that down
They was laughin’ then, but they quiet now
Now they wanna shake hands when they see me round
---
(Chorus)
They don’t work like us, nah
They don’t hurt like us, nah
They don’t fight like us, nah
They don’t earn like us, nah
We don’t stop, we don’t stall
When we drop, it shake the walls
We don’t bend, we stand tall
When we step, they know who called
---
Outro)
(Ayy, ayy, ayy!)
They wasn’t there, now they act too close
They wasn’t real, now they do the most
I see the fake, I see the lies
But I just win, I don’t reply
(Ayy!) Turn me up, let ‘em feel that bass
Took my time, now I set the pace
They still talk, but they can’t relate
We been real—this ain’t no phase
(Yeah, yeah!) Now they know who run it
Big moves, no time for frontin’
Left ‘em all, now look who’s comin’
Took that risk, now I ain’t done stuntin’
