Lyrics
[PreChorus]
Say we won't make it out the hood, I
Guess that wasn't true, I
Guess I'm livin' proof, I
Guess the joke's on you
[Chorus]
So when I make it to the top, alright, alright (Alright, alright)
I'm gonna take my brothers with me
I can't leave no-one behind
When I make it to the top, alright, alright (Alright, alright)
We gon' get the cake and split it
No more starvin' through the night
When I make it to the top, alright, alright (Alright, alright)
I'm gon' take my brothers with me
I can't leave no-one behind
When I make it to the top, alright, alright (Alright, alright)
We gon' get the cake and split it
No more starvin' through the night
[Verse 1]
Came out the gutter with the sludge
Everything we got, it out the mud
Finally made it out here, ain't enough
'Cause I'm tryna put my family in the White House after Trump
Woah, woah, we gotta live in our dreams
Shining like ultralight beam
I get it and I bust it down with the team
I gotta go out and get it, I'm talkin' all of our riches
Then we gonna turn it to business, then we gon' give it to children
Every dollar I made, I made with my homies
Times I had to make a couple bands by my lonely
Now my speakers knockin', got 'em rockin'
Noddin' off and on, ain't gettin' no sleep
Graduated, low key, I'm an OG
[PreChorus]
Say we won't make it out the hood, I
Guess that wasn't true, I (Guess it wasn't true)
Guess I'm livin' proof, I
Guess the joke's on you (Guess the joke's on you)
[Chorus]
So when I make it to the top, alright, alright (Alright, alright)
I'm gonna take my brothers with me
I can't leave no-one behind
When I make it to the top, alright, alright (Alright, alright)
We gon' get the cake and split it
No more starvin' through the night
When I make it to the top, alright, alright (Alright, alright)
I'm gon' take my brothers with me
I can't leave no-one behind
When I make it to the top, alright, alright (Alright, alright)
We gon' get the cake and split it
No more starvin' through the night
[Verse 2]
I'm about to piss
I was all alone
They thought that I would trip
Had to tie my shoes
I got it out the mud
Watch it grow
Go back to the trap, no
Hood goals
Alright, alright, alright, yeah
You bet against me
But you crapped out on the dice, yeah
Try to rob me then I, drop five, yeah
Done playing with the demons, change my life, yeah
When it's all over, said and done
Tryna get my mama in another ride (Skrrt, skrrt)
Fifty on the Benz, get myself a ring
And I ain't ever change, baby, what you mean?
[PreChorus]
Say we won't make it out the hood, I
Guess that wasn't true, I (Guess it wasn't true)
Guess I'm livin' proof, I
Guess the joke's on you (Guess the joke's on you)
[Chorus]
So when I make it to the top, alright, alright (Alright, alright)
I'm gonna take my brothers with me
I can't leave no-one behind
When I make it to the top, alright, alright (Alright, alright)
We gon' get the cake and split it
No more starvin' through the night
When I make it to the top, alright, alright (Alright, alright)
I'm gon' take my brothers with me
I can't leave no-one behind
When I make it to the top, alright, alright (Alright, alright)
We gon' get the cake and split it
No more starvin' through the night
