[Verse 1]
I came from drop tops and old school Chevy's
Dope boys rollin' through, %#@!tin' on ya heavy

Fifteens in the trunk beatin' down your block
Only 4 years old when Biggie got shot
I remember playing on the block, hanging on the block

Young ^!$$%s slanging on the block, getting off them rocks
Now we livin' better now, Coogi sweater now
Weather still getting colder, we could change the weather now

But I...

[Pre-Hook]

Came up in criminal days
Living these criminal ways, what can I say
Hugging the block every day

Grindin' and making a way
At night I pray for better days
That it don't be the same tomorrow

Now I celebrate my sorrows with this bottle
And say


[Hook] (x2)
(Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)
I pray for more better days

(Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)
I know that I can feel change


[Verse 2]
Everyday ainâ??t good but everyday ainâ??t bad
Mama always said show thanks for what you have

Boy never forget to realize you're blessed
This cold world can rot you if you let it
Now I'm out here tryna get it, really out here tryna get it

Always knew that I would make it, maybe it was so prophetic
Cause I came from the bottom and the humblest beginnings
From the youngest ^!$$% grindin' to the youngest ^!$$% wining


[Pre-Hook] + [Hook] x2


[Verse 3]
'Fore you die you make your mark and reach new levels
Want the bread, want the diamonds and the bezels

And if these (*##$es that you want, have several
Just gotta know, lotta %#@!'s temporary
It won't last, no, no, it won't last, no

One minute it's still here
Next thing you know it's all gone
That's why I been on my grizzy outchea

Long as I grind, better days are near

[Pre-Hook] + [Hook] x2
