Lyrics

Came up from nothing, it was bad
I used to hate to see my momma sad
I'ma make it alright, ain't no looking back
I used to dream about it, now look where we at
Prayers go up, up, up, up, up, up
And the blessings come down
You know, yeah, you know
You know, you know, you know
Lord forgive me for my sins, I'm just trying to win
Since I was a youngin' I was starving, going in
Told my ****, "Fill up that cup to the brim"
Chances of a long life not what they seem
Devil is a liar stomp a niddle to the dirt, yeah
I'ma keep on grinding till I get what I deserve, yeah
Nobody can stop me 'cause I'm putting in the work, yeah
You know what we doing, it's a blessing and a curse, yeah
Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo, ey
Yizwa imithandazo yethu, ey
Yizwa imithandazo yethu, yeah
Came up from nothing, it was bad
I used to hate to see my momma sad
I'ma make it alright, ain't no looking back
I used to dream about it, now look where we at
Prayers go up, up, up, up, up, up
And the blessings come down
You know
You know, you know, you know
I see some of them hoping I drop the ball
Already told y'all I will never fall
All the hating pushes me to stake it all
If they got a problem I just make one call
Was on the streets with my lil bidding rets
If I ever lose money, bet, I'm making it back
They want punchlines, like the shit I'm making is wack
Hommies who don't like me started giving me dabs, ey
It's too late, now I'm feeling myself
No matter how it go, I ain't killing myself, ey
I don't fight but they give me a bag
I'm not a boxer so I'm strapped, I ain't kidding myself
Came up from nothing, it was bad
I used to hate to see my momma sad
I'ma make it alright, ain't no looking back
I used to dream about it, now look where we at
Prayers go up, up, up, up, up, up
And the blessings come down
You know
You know, you know, you know
Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika
(It was bad)
Hate to see my momma sad
I'ma make it alright, ain't no looking back
(Yizwa imithandazo yethu, ey)
Yizwa imithandazo yethu, yeah
