(Trillo Beats, you did it again)(Drell’s on the track)(SephGotTheWaves)This for them tribulations and trialsI finally got a smile for all the frownsI finally get to make my mama proudStart a family, bought a houseI finally see what pops was talking ’boutBut it was hard looking up when I was downI was down bad and bummyThey was laughing at me, but it wasn’t funnyImagine me in that bottom as a younginOn to any given SundayTryna find a way to get some moneyWe cut grass to get cash when I was hungryStealing chicken out of PublixNigga grab a box and go to runningNiggas never gave me nothing, so it’s fuck ’emWas balling on a budgetI remember balling on a budgetI was fine ’til my mind got corruptedUsed to want to be a firefighter or a teacher‘Til niggas came through on twenty-twos and booming speakersMy mind changed instantlyMom didn’t even know what gotten into meThuggin’ hard, stealin’ cars, and shootin’ at the enemiesI used to hit my knees and pray I’d find them things for ten a piece‘Til then, we slow grind and break it down to ten a G‘Til then, we slow grind and break it down to ten a G
I know you remember meBack in eleventh grade, was addicted to popping sealsI love to sip that lean, I like the way it make me feelThe smile up on my face, bae, ’cause I been swallowing pillsCouldn’t focus in class, my mind was stuck on them M’sGet to thinking ’bout my past, that shit be giving me chillsI never thought I’d see the day I get a record dealMove my baby mama to the hills, fuck the drama, babe, lets liveIn the Bahamas tryna healTell me your problems and your fears, yeahAnd all of them niggas on the internet be hoesYou the type of nigga I hated when I was brokeYou the type of nigga see this pole and be frozeI’m the type of nigga get jealous and rob him out his clothesBy the time you jumped off the porch, I was in the middle of the roadWhen you got down the street, I was already headed homeOn the porch knocking, looking for love, but it was goneThank god I found my passion in these songsThis for them tribulations and trialsThings looking up, when it was downIt was hard tryna get it off the groundTribulations and trialsYou couldn’t take my shoes and walk a mileFinna put them diamonds in my mouth, ’cause nowI got a reason to smileA reason to smile, reason to smileA reason to smileReason to smile, a reason to smile, a reason to smileReason to smile, a reason to smile, haha
