I really could have died before my first album let alone my second This road I'm on, freedom, even breathing is a blessing In the trenches I've exceeded everything that was expected I could change the way this started but I'll change the way it's ending All them nights in prison might just have been the best thing My life's a movie, you can't see this one on Netflix I thought my life was over when my sentence got extended Made millions off that sentence could have been another sentence I come too far to look up to the Lord and not thank him more Wait till I'm on a case to ask him for a penance I can handle all my enemies, protect me for my bredrens I lost two smokes last week, security's expensive Remember sleeping in a rental, listening to instrumentals SIM card in my mouth that's when I'm banking all the pebbles Twenty-four shift, fam, I'm downing all the Red Bull Now that same nigga there selling out the venue More time, I was stressful, and I still feel resentful I realised everything that happened, it was meant to I stay tryna rap about progression But I'll hold on to the past, the time comes you gotta let go
To my pa I say, "Thank you", my aunt I say, "Thank you" HMP, every single gov, I say, "Thank you" The sergeant that put me in those cuffs, I say, "Thank you" I got done dirty by a judge, I say, "Thank you" The tough times I went through ain't coincidental Broken home and broken heart is what gave me my breakthrough I pray to the Lord this future's nothing like my past If only you could see my heart, you'll know I'm thankful
How do we define the word "successful"? I'm in this mini mansion, I ain't sleeping tonight And it's the most enemies that there's been my whole life I made more money than I thought I'd need my whole life And every time I need a Psalm, I go read 35 It's tighter than my biceps becah it gave me strength I know there's way more to life than just the ends But you can catch me sat back on the glide before I sit on any fence Had to oil down a skeng, make sure it fires like it's Brent When you come up off a Z, though, this is hard to comprehend How much times it feel like things is going left If you see me fall nine times I'm guaranteed to stand up for the tenth Bodies on the pavement, they cover them with tent They hate on genres with the blame game make it, makes no sense Said, "Be careful what you wish for" I'm a superstar with war at least I'm better off than before
To my pa I say, "Thank you", my aunt I say, "Thank you" HMP, every single gov, I say, "Thank you" The sergeant that put me in those cuffs, I say, "Thank you" I got done dirty by a judge, I say, "Thank you" The tough times I went through ain't coincidental Broken home and broken heart is what gave me my breakthrough I pray to the Lord this future's nothing like my past If only you could see my heart, you'll know I'm thankful
