Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I found a way

It was so hard to get what I wanted, I found a way

I had to sacrifice for this life, I found a way

[Verse 2]

I found a way

It was so hard to get what I wanted, I found a way

I had to sacrifice for this life, I found a way

Got sick and tired of wearing the same clothes, I found a way

Got sick and tired of seeing the same hoes, I found a way

I found a way

[Verse 3]

Any drug, any plug on deck, if you come around the way

I got dimes on the way

Ain't got time for no games

Just wanna shine like a chain

I'm out my mind, out my brain

From the grind came the fame

Twenty thousand in my back pocket

Sorry, ****, I ain't got the change

**** that I grew up with hate me more than ever

Charge it to the game

I just play the backseat, getting top, while the driver switch lanes

[Verse 4]

It was so hard to get what I wanted, I found a way

I had to sacrifice for this life, I found a way

Got sick and tired of wearing the same clothes, I found a way

Got tired of seeing the same hoes, I found a way

I found a way

I found a way

[Verse 5]

Any drug, any plug on deck, come around the way

I got dimes on the way

Ain't got time for the games

Wanna shine like a chain

Out my mind, out my brain

From the grind came the fame

Twenty thousand in my back pocket

Sorry, ****, I ain't got the change

[Verse 6]

Run up on me, must be out your brain

You and I, we are not the same

Ain't say a word when the cops had came

Money coming, shit, you gotta change

Hardest young **** out the game

Watch my aim, got a hundred clip

Moving like I'm on the wanted list

I'm on a yacht with a hundred Crips

I ain't bitching, shit, I wanted this

Jump out in Louis Vuitton

White tee, black leather jacket like I'm cool with The Fonz

Fuck a ring, kiss the shoe of a don

Hundred P's, I could move 'em tomorrow

[Verse 7]

It was so hard to get what I wanted, I found a way

I had to sacrifice for this life, I found a way

Got sick and tired of wearing the same clothes, I found a way

Got sick and tired of seeing the same hoes, I found a way

I found a way

[Verse 8]

Any drug, any plug on deck, come around the way

I got dimes on the way

Ain't got no time for the games

Just wanna shine like a chain

I'm out of my mind, out my brain

From the grind came the fame

Twenty thousand in my back pocket

Sorry, ****, I ain't got the change

**** that I grew up with hate me more than ever

Charge it to the game

I just play the backseat, getting top, while the driver switch lanes

Pull up new Maserati

I ain't touch her body, but the bitch came

[Verse 9]

Twenty thousand in my back pocket

Sorry, ****, I ain't got the change

**** that I grew up with hate me more than ever

Charge it to the game

I just play the backseat, getting top, while the driver switch lanes

Pull up new Maserati

I ain't touch her body, but the bitch came

[Verse 10]

I found a way

It was so hard to get what I wanted, I found a way

I had to sacrifice for this life, I found a way

Got sick and tired of wearing the same clothes, I found a way

Got sick and tired of seeing the same hoes, I found a way

I found a way

I found a way

[Verse 11]

Found a way

It was so hard, I found a way

It was so hard to get what I wanted, I found a way

Found a way

It was so hard to get what I wanted, I found a way

Found a way

I found a way

I found a way
