Praise
350 Lyrics

I always feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle
I constantly encounter challenges and obstacles that feel difficult to overcome

But I know who made the hills
I am aware that God is the creator of these uphill battles and can provide strength

From the east side
Growing up in a disadvantaged neighborhood

God always
God is always with me, guiding and supporting me

Headed down on the wrong side by 25
Making poor choices and going down the wrong path at a young age

No light no better time gotta make it right yuh
Feeling lost and in darkness, but recognizing the need to make positive changes

Fighting uphill against men who lie just to see me die yuh
Struggling against individuals who deceive and wish for my downfall

But I finna fight yuh
I am determined to fight and overcome these challenges

Gotta see the light yuh
I need to find hope and positivity amidst the difficulties

Feel like fentanyl no perc
Feeling the intensity and danger of my life, similar to the potent drug fentanyl

Thinking about heading out no work
Contemplating giving up and not putting in the necessary effort

Sippin on pepto no purp
Trying to ease my stress and anxiety without resorting to harmful substances

Feeling so stressed out not hurt
Experiencing overwhelming stress, even if it doesn't physically hurt me

Say that I'm next out it's not sure
People claim I will be successful, but it's uncertain and not guaranteed

Feeling like getting out of my way
Having the determination to overcome any obstacles in my path

Think I won't get loud no way
Believing in my abilities and refusing to be silenced

Gotta blow up on the internet
Striving for recognition and success through online platforms

Had to tell momma to chill I'm not winning yet
Having to reassure my mother that I haven't achieved success yet

I could pay off all my debt when I'm killing it
Assuming that I will be able to achieve financial stability and repay my debts

I don't mess round with the will that I'm living in
Not wasting time on negative thoughts or doubting my own potential

I been just keeping the real on the lock
Remaining authentic and true to myself, not compromising my values

Had to deal with my fears that I blocked
Confronting and facing the fears that I have been avoiding

Had to keep all the loud off my lips
Avoiding negative talk and not getting involved in gossip

Had me slurring my words when I talk
Causing me to stumble in my speech because of the negativity

Had to get it popping in the booth
I need to excel and make a name for myself in the music industry

I could never let up on the youth
Continuously inspiring and motivating younger generations

They don't gotta know that I'm a hit
It's not necessary for others to recognize my success immediately

They just gotta know about the truth
It's important for others to know and understand my authenticity

Stepping on the stage like I don't mind it
Confidently embracing the spotlight and performing on stage

Looking for your faith like I won't find it
Searching for belief and support from others, even if it seems unlikely

I don't wanna change it I'm just grinding
Preferring to stay true to myself and work hard toward my goals

Put me in the pavement if I'm lying
Challenge me and expose me if I'm not telling the truth

Me and 350 had to get it one time
Myself and 350 had to work hard and achieve success together

Praise up 'cause they know we had to grind
Receiving recognition and praise for the hard work we put in

Got it out the mud, we was slumming with the slimes
Starting from very little and associating with difficult people

Prayed up, Good God, now we shine
Having faith in God and seeing the positive outcomes in our lives

All these rappers they tryna blow up
Other musicians are striving for fame and success

Slow it down, imma fill up the cup
Taking a moment to relax and enjoy the fruits of our labor

I ain't talking no lean, imma cut
Choosing not to engage in harmful activities, such as drug use

Runneth over, you know it's what's up
Having an abundance and overflow of blessings

Imma young boy and I drip like Dasani
I am a youthful individual with a unique style and confidence

I rap you in circles like head of a Saudi
My rap skills are so captivating and skilled that it leaves you in awe

I pull up in fashion, I'm rocking that Nike
Showing off my stylish attire, particularly with Nike products

Like Uzi, I'm wearing balenci balenci
Similar to the rapper Lil Uzi Vert, I wear designer brand Balenciaga

Praise to my God and I'm just getting started
Continually expressing gratitude and thanks to God, recognizing that this is only the beginning

I used to be out there, I used to be hardened
In the past, I had a rough and tough exterior

I flipped up the script and now I'm ballin' like hardin'
I changed my circumstances and now I'm achieving great success, similar to NBA player James Harden

But don't get it twisted, I still know the charter
Despite my success, I continue to remain grounded and aware of my values

I spent 3 days locked in my room steady working
Dedicating a significant amount of time and effort to my craft

Now I stand out like a Birkin
Now I am noticeable and distinct, like the luxury brand Birkin

They gon ask me how I did it, I'm certain
Others will inquire about my success, and I confidently know the answer

Certified by the word, ain't no turning
Backed and confirmed by my faith and beliefs, I am unwavering

All of these haters, they lurking
Enemies and naysayers are constantly observing and waiting for me to fail

I been in the show, drop the curtain
I have been actively participating and performing, bringing an end to doubt and negativity

Got it all on my own, ain't no lurching
Achieving success through my own efforts, without relying on others

Do it real nice, got the shirt in
Doing things with excellence and distinction, showcasing my talent and style

They want the youngboy down in the dirt
Others desire for me to fail and be humiliated

They wanna see me kicked to the curb
They long for my downfall and being rejected

But I'm jumping, put the gym MJ w the vert
I am leaping and excelling, just like basketball player Michael Jordan with his incredible vertical jump

You better pay me if you want a verse
If you want me to feature on a song, you must be willing to compensate me

I was down bad then I hit a spurt
I experienced a period of difficulty and struggle, but then things quickly improved

I got them racks then I flipped it again
I obtained a significant amount of money, then reinvested it for even higher returns

I ain't talking no deer, I'm just talking 'bout bands
I'm not discussing hunting animals, but rather the stacks of money I have accumulated
