(Verse 1)
Now I done kept it real straight out the gate, do what ^!$$%s didn't

10 seconds out the struggle just enough to make ^!$$%s different
I used to give a $#&@ but now the $#&@s I gave and kill no mo
Everybody snakes like they ain't know you from the day before

Look here, I've been focused, I ain't worried bout the smaller %#@!
Man before anything, getting good, I ain't called the %#@!
Walkin on my own two, regardless what I go through

Speakin on ^!$$%s tryna get famous that's what I don't do
Validated the street's credibility, can't get to back
To front another gutter gorilla, I came and took that

15 years I've been in this mother$#&@er ain't left yet
Good hearted ^!$$%, others play 30 like ain't sweep yet
I started from the bottom now I'm here, made it on my own

Other ^!$$%s hope I get distracted, I'mma make it home
Even as a kid I skipped the playground, hit the block and rolled
Might do this %#@! with passion but to others it's another song

(Verse 2)
I done kept it real from the jump

Living at my mama's house we'd argue every month
^!$$%, I was trying to get it on my own
Working all night, traffic on the way home

And my uncle calling me like ?Where ya at?
I gave you the keys told ya bring it right back?
^!$$%, I just think its funny how it goes

Now I'm on the road, half a million for a show
And we?

(Verse 3)
Boys tell stories about the man

Say I never struggled, wasn't hungry, yeah, I doubt it, ^!$$%
I could turn your boy into the man
There ain't really much I hear that's poppin' off without us, ^!$$%

We just want the credit where it's due
I'ma worry about me, give a $#&@ about you
^!$$%, just as a reminder to myself

I wear every single chain, even when I'm in the house
Cause we?

(Bridge)
No new ^!$$%s, ^!$$% we don't feel that
$#&@ a fake friend, where you real friends at?

We don't like to do too much explaining
Story stays the same I never changed it
No new ^!$$%s, ^!$$% we don't feel that
$#&@ a fake friend, where your real friends at?
We don't like to do too much explaining

Story stay the same through the money and the fame
Cause we?

(Verse 4)
Came in the game and I'm landing the changes

These $#&@ ^!$$%s they say it in 10 different ways, then see you just smile in yo face
You wanna meet up, name a time or a place
I'm smoking that fire, my ^!$$% you that it's fire
You smell it as soon as I blaze
A bird in the pound, bird in the pound, bird in the pound

Yea, it's going down, it's going down, it's going down
Uh, started from the bottom now we here
Had a dream bout a car, I went and got it in a year
All black trucks when we pull up to the lear
All black coupe, I look like Bruce when I'm steerin

Hope the homey Dre don't get pissed but ^!$$%s
Never ever put your man on songs like this
And I probably said no to it before
But I made 20 millions so we should probably go on tour
And I just seen Waka the other day
He wasn't trippin, we just talked about the money we been makin

'Cause we?
