Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a young **** who just lived life
I done seen so much shit, just from the very bottom
So it was always about just grinding and getting it out the mud for me
I just want a **** to know what I thought
I got an opportunity
It's way bigger than me
'Cause you know God put a **** in a position for a reason
[Verse 2]
I was D-block in the street life
Was on my grind so I didn't sleep nights
Used to push rocks out on my block
Saw police lights, I heard the gunshots
I had nowhere to go
At the end of the road
Had to do something fast
Now I ain't running no more
[Verse 3]
'Cause I found the light at the end of the tunnel
That's why I kept my head high
Instead of selling my faith
Sitting here wishing I would die
Living in hell on earth
Dead last so I couldn't see first
But I knew it wouldn't get worse
So it only got better
And it's getting better
Living in hell on earth
Dead last so I couldn't see first
But I knew it wouldn't get worse
So it only got better
And it's getting better
[Verse 4]
'Cause I knew one day that life would get better
Finally made a way so now it's all better
'Cause I knew one day that life would get better
Finally made a way so now it's all better
[Verse 5]
A **** have the city mind is the only way to survive this camp
And that made me protecting myself
Or I'ma come up
Then shoot 'em up, bang, bang on every ****
You dig?
It's my squad against yours
And a lotta **** got that mentality
Thinking you know that's the way to come up
That's New Orleans
