Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Reece, take 'em to church)
[Verse 2]
Makin' a way out of no way, I did that, aye (Did that)
They gon' try to take your soul by any means, mine still intact
I rose from where roses don't grow
Still flourish and blossom though, yeah
Still stuntin' on them **** who doubted
Why you hate on me?
[Verse 3]
They doubted me, outed me, didn't want me to flourish
I come from the ghetto where we was famished, malnourished
When people first heard me, they thought that I was a fluke
But I'm a real **** like Kunta Kinte from Roots
I'ma keep runnin' even without any shoes
Got family in Louisiana, out there in the boot
My **** be huntin' and they'll give you the blues
They don't do music but they some Pros with the Tools
Broken towel racks and toilet tissue holders
Used to keep the bacon fat up in a can of Folger's
And if the heater ain't workin' and it's freezin' cold
We open up the oven and turn on the stove (Uhh)
[Verse 4]
Makin' a way out of no way, I did that, aye (Did that)
They gon' try to take your soul by any means, mine still intact
I rose from where roses don't grow
Still flourish and blossom though, yeah
Still stuntin' on them **** who doubted
Why you hate on me?
[Verse 5]
They doubted me (Yeah)
Boosie on death row with Manson, they clowned me
Come from the gutter, no cap, the real gutter (Gutter)
One of the few who made somethin' outta nothin' (Gutter)
I learned how to cook cocaine from my uncle in the game
He was a dope dealin' **** wit' a name
Struggle all winter, broke all summer (Man)
Remember only fuckin' two hoes all summer (Man)
Mama showed pain when I cried to the Lord (Lord)
Daddy bang a needle, on game, swear to God (Swear to God)
Keep on the water on the stove, make it hot, shit was real
Now a **** livin' on the fuckin' hill
And that's what it is
[Verse 6]
Makin' a way out of no way, I did that, aye (Did that)
They gon' try to take your soul by any means, mine still intact
I rose from where roses don't grow
Still flourish and blossom though, yeah
Still stuntin' on them **** who doubted
Why you hate on me?
