Two feet in the red dirt, school skirt Sugar cane, back lane 3 jobs took years to save But I got a ticket on that plane People got a lot to say But don’t know shit bout where I was made Or how many floors that I had to scrub Just to make it past where I am from…No money, no family. 16 in the middle of Miami I’ve been up all night, tryna get that rich I’ve been work, work, work, work, working on my shit Milked the whole game twice gotta get it how I live I’ve been work, work, work, work, working on my shit Now get this work Now get this work Now get this work Now get this work Working on my shit…You can hate it or love it Hustle and the struggle is the only thing I’m trusting Thoroughbred in a mud brick before the budget White chick on that Pac shit My passion was ironic And my dreams were uncommon Guess I gone crazy, first deal changed me Robbed blind basically raped me Rose through the bullshit like a matador Just made me madder and adamant to go at ’em And even the score So, I went harder Studied the Carters till a deal was offered Slept cold on the floor recording At 4 in the morning and now I’m passing the bar Like a lawyer Immigrant, art ignorant Ya ill intent was insurance for my benefit Hate to be inconsiderate, but the industry took my innocence
