Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to see fame and the rich figures
But now I see change and the bigger picture
Dealing with the pain is how we made a living
But it's not what we make, it's how we make a difference
Now we gon' shine bright
Look into the mirror and I see the reason why
See, we come from nothing where doing wrong was right
It hurt seein' the pain comin' from my mama's eyes
Started from rock bottom, diamonds in the mud
Sparks in the dark, we be shinin' through the rough
Surrounded by our crimes, our alcohol and drugs
Money wasn't around, but we were rich with love (All facts I mentioned)
Step back from my Black complexion
Suicide rates blowin' up from depression
Mirror image of your self-reflection
Don't define what's inside or the mind's perception
Turning my dreams to reality
I made it happen with them demons surrounding me
Proving everybody wrong who be doubting me
Never forget where I'm from 'cause it founded me
Boy, I grew up on some gutter shit, but graduated from a private school
Black excellence, I'm educated when I'm ridin' through
They never thought I would be in this position
No contradiction that I'm winnin' and my face is on the entire news
[Chorus]
Put that on my soul, put it on my soul (Put that on my soul)
Put that on my soul, put it on my soul (Put that on my soul)
Put that on my soul, put it on my soul (Put that on my soul)
Put that on my soul, put it on my soul
[Verse 2]
Cops still killin'
Missing pieces to the puzzle how we livin'
I'm upcoming and find it's so appealing
How I'm afraid of heights when I'm the highest in the building?
I'm on my way to a million
Fresh on the scene, a young Aussie civilian
Still, I drop bombs, straight kill shit
I be sendin' shots like we all up on a field trip
Say I'm the man now
Stepped in the game and we had no handouts
Comin' with a bang, no lie, that's hands down
Doesn't matter who I'm sittin' with, I'ma stand out
[Chorus]
Put that on my soul, put it on my soul (Put that on my soul)
Put that on my soul, put it on my soul (Put that on my soul)
Put that on my soul, put it on my soul (Put that on my soul)
Put that on my soul, put it on my soul
