I still remember when I was starting, I wasn’t chasing the cash
But when you put in effort, God helps you more
The problem here’s in the play
If you hit it all, you win; if not, you go back with nothing
Today there are more ups than downs, they don’t humiliate me at all anymore
The clothes aren’t borrowed, I bought them myself
Life isn’t as smooth and easy as I thought
But damn, worse is nothing, and I’m moving forward
I used to wear baggy clothes, and I’m still rocking baggy
Only the price on the tag shot up a lot
The Cartier says that it’s my time, two point-eights of poison and a shortie
My Saint Jude, I’m protected
Los Angeles, right downtown
So you can see where the kid who turned out a badass comes from
My daughters are what I love most; touch them and I light up
It’s already known that I don’t lie, I’m not a blowhard
With balls and the small piece, nobody steps up to a showdown
My house is in the air, watching everyone who passes
Up here you can’t be heard, you better bark
My Mercedes doesn’t back down on me
Just one call’s enough to pull up and right away knock your crib down
I leveled up out of nowhere, I liked the expensive life
The diamonds, the designer clothes
Top-shelf; if it’s not, I don’t want anything
The machine to count the cash because I move a sh*tload
We used to be grinding for it, but things changed
