Came Up

They asked me how I came up Cause I stayed down Why would I change up? Them people know my name now It's crazy how I got the fame My life so dangerous I'ma always stay the same Even when they changin' up They asked me how I came up Cause I stayed down Why would I change up? Them people know my name now It's crazy how I got the fame My life so dangerous I'ma always stay the same Even when they changin' up I ain't doin' that again I wasn't reachin' for the politics I was thuggin' in the trenches Tryna make it out of this poverty Yelling gang to the enemy Same time reaching where the choppa at And I can't show no bitch no feelings Cause when I do it's like they seem to don't know how to act I made it out, took me some time, my mama proud of that Locked in the cell, I did that time, they must forgot the fact I needed help but they didn't help me, oh they need me back And they can't take it back There was times I prayed for another life Asking my mama why we broke and why we ain't rich? 40 in my pocket trying to hit a lick Wish I had them shoes like that other kid I ain't finish school but my brother did Now I'm on I can pay all of my brother's rent They put their head up when they be talking to me Respect me like a Don I'm the president They asked me how I came up Cause I stayed down Why would I change up? Them people know my name now It's crazy how I got the fame My life so dangerous I'ma always stay the same Even when they changin' up 448 in the kitchen, I'm goin' get it Sick of reminiscing, got dirt all over my britches I was heart broke, patnas in prison, got a conviction On another note got patnas who stealing, I won't forgive 'em I told my grandma to pray for me (pray for me) God why my patnas wanna take from me (wanna take from me) Tryna put a million in the safe nigga Now goin' to opps it ain't safe for 'em Would you believe the things I seen like On the block I lost my soul All the nights I couldn't control The fact that I lost without no hope I was praying for the better (praying for the better) Mama told me never say never But I ain't never have a thing So now it's 'part of my lecture when I speak up Got on my grind, went copped that whip then put my feet up Told me she love me then she left, no I don't need her Brand new AP feel like a icebox, I'm a freezer I'm like a preacher They asked me how I came up Cause I stayed down Why would I change up? Them people know my name now It's crazy how I got the fame My life so dangerous I'ma always stay the same Even when they changin' up They asked me how I came up Cause I stayed down Why would I change up? Them people know my name now It's crazy how I got the fame My life so dangerous I'ma always stay the same Even when they changin' up
