My mother's crying but I don't notice, hey, hey
The sacrifices, yeah I remember them, no I don't forget 'em, hey
I'm putting another stone on it
Don't give a f*ck about this money, I burn another bill, hey
I've been missing you too long and this isn't good, hey
When we grow up, yeah, we want to survive
I don't trust these damn vipers, hey
I always push myself to the limit
I live this life, waiting for who's coming to kill me
But if you pass by we don't even look
They don't know, only we know
She calls but I don't call back
They shoot at me, I take cover
Hands on my face again tonight
Kids on the street with broken heads
I'm a bit high, taking blurry pictures
I smoke three grams and I don't cough
I look at myself now, hey
I think back to before, I look at myself now
Since hanging outside of school, I've come a long way
It's hell here, not a walk in the park, yay
But you're not here with me
I think back to before, I look at myself now
Since I was on the court something's changed
All the nights I hoped for this, yay
But what do you know about it, hey
This city feels as tight as my jeans
Baby you look better without leggings, hey
In this game I'm taking up space
If a brother falls I'm there to pick him up
I work up the courage and go
Even if I don't speak you understand loud and clear, hey
Another round, no ice
Another hit then I get high
I hope I make it today, hey
I've taken kicks and thrown punches
You touch the hands of these scumbags that shook mine
But in my head I already had plans, I had all the routes
So f*cking look at me now, yay
On a wire with stilts, yay
They're waiting for me to fall
But if I get up you won't get up again
I moved whoever was in front, with all the struggle
Now paying crowds everywhere, we're upping the earnings
Big cars, like the big shots
I come out of the jungle without a scratch
I look at myself now, hey
I think back to before, I look at myself now
Since hanging outside of school, I've come a long way
It's hell here, not a walk in the park, yay
But you're not here with me
I think back to before, I look at myself now
Since I was on the court something's changed
All the nights I hoped for this, yay
But what do you know about it
