Malek started making music at the age of 14, though initially only for fun. He started out by playing guitar and producing beats under the name "Crucial J", but would later change it to "Croosh" once he started to lean more towards rapping.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if I told you that I been there a couple times
Would you believe me or think I'm on some crazy shit
I seen too much to ever be an atheist
Cause bitch I'm blessed
Awoo
Yeah nothing more, nothing less
Aye, aye
I'm not saying I don't stress, I'm just saying that I'm blessed
Awoo
Even when life's a mess, gotta know it's a test
Bitch I'm, aye
Universe got my back, so what's next
I've been broken, pushed down, stepped on
I've been doubted, laughed at, slept on
Lotta people try to break me but I never cry
Once you let them take your pride, you can't get it back
Oh ok if pressure makes diamonds then by now I'm VVS
Grandma told me keep my chin up, never let them see me stress
Always radiate the love and in turn you shall receive
Always keep me down to Earth, yeah she my gravity
Fuck a curse, where my blessings at?
Need a couple million and nothing less than that
Want my Lamborghini white and my Tesla black
I don't have it now but I'm manifesting that
I-I make the guap flip like Travis Pastrana
That's cause I'm in the lab from 2AM until la mañana
You think I got hot overnight then you're sadly mistaken
Man I've been working at this shit so long I had to be patient yeah
What if I told you that heaven is a state of mind
What if I told you that I been there a couple times
Would you believe me or think I'm on some crazy shit
I seen too much to ever be an atheist
Cause bitch I'm blessed
Awoo
Yeah nothing more, nothing less
Aye, aye
I'm not saying I don't stress, I'm just saying that I'm blessed
Awoo
Even when life's a mess, gotta know it's a test
Bitch I'm, aye
Universe got my back, so what's next
