Uh huh
When I was down I had to
Look, Look
When I was down I had to weather The weather
Put on sweater
For the sunshine, rain, snow
But held it together
And I’ll love forever
I had a few chicks around
But they just love me for better
And not the cheddar
Ian have it
They ain’t dog me out
I was in the villas
6 Heads 2 beds hoes was in n out
Ina need of juice
I need a paper route
Cus was on my ass I need a bag
Kroger ain’t working out
And sleeping on this couch
It got me fucked up
My pockets filled with just enough Change
To spark a blunt up
And maybe put a few up in the tank
If I’m on E on you drive today
I got a plug within the gang
Who show the crew love
Cus nigga we blow
Swear I can’t wait till I blow
Cus I can’t hit rock bottom
It had me kicking in doors
And plotting on em for pros
I need the stick for the road
Cus karma come n I know it
Got a shot pray ion blow it
GOD I was looking for a blessing
Poison nigga lethal no injection
Seeking Guidance gotta carry my Protection
Teaching me a lesson
What you do it lingers in ya presence
Know it’s consequences debted to ya Actions
GOD I was looking for a blessing
Poison nigga lethal no injection
Seeking Guidance gotta carry my Protection
Teaching me a lesson
What you do it lingers in ya presence
Know it’s consequences debted to ya Actions
Came up from nothing I maintain My hunger
Cus Ian nowhere
Niggas that ain’t got no ethic
Won’t make it nowhere
Nigga gone respect my hustle cus Dawg I been there
Bouta check checking my resolution Like New Years
Cus Ian going broke no more
And that’s on me
Banging up in boost we mobile
We need the cheese
Ima southside baby
The hustle breeded in me
If mama knew the things I did
She wouldn’t agree
I been plotting on a million
Get a feeling it’s in reach
Came a long way from chilling
Every day a different beat
Every other week different city
Henny on the beach
Ian made it you a think I did
How I make it seem
I done made it up from homeless
Niggas In the system
Seeking for just where that home Went
Niggas trynna kill em
Accolades adding up
And they was trynna block the Ceiling
Ian stopping till A nigga fucking Selling out pavilions
GOD I was looking for a blessing
Poison nigga lethal no injection
Seeking Guidance gotta carry my Protection
Teaching me a lesson
What you do it lingers in ya presence
Know it’s consequences debted to ya Actions
GOD I was looking for a blessing
Poison nigga lethal no injection
Seeking Guidance gotta carry my Protection
Teaching me a lesson
What you do it lingers in ya presence
Know it’s consequences debted to ya Actions
Debted to your actions
Debted to your actions
Debted to your
Debted to your
Debted to your actions yea

Yea, let me talk to em right quick
I want to speak to them briefly
When I was down I had to
When I was struggling
Look, Look
Listen carefully
When I was down I had to weather The weather
When I was struggling, I had to endure difficult times
Put on sweater
Prepare for the elements
For the sunshine, rain, snow
Regardless of the weather
But held it together
Gathered strength and resilience to endure
I had some brothers who ain’t judge
I had supportive friends who did not criticize me
And I’ll love forever
I will cherish them always
I had a few chicks around
I had a couple of female companions
But they just love me for better
They only liked me when things were good
And not the cheddar
They did not care about money
Ian have it
I did not possess it
They ain’t dog me out
They did not betray me
I was in the villas
I resided in an apartment complex
6 Heads 2 beds hoes was in n out
Six people stayed in two bedrooms and had visitors coming and going
Ina need of juice
I needed a source of money
I need a paper route
I required a job
Cus was on my ass I need a bag
I had to hustle to make ends meet
Kroger ain’t working out
Working at Kroger (grocery store) did not pay enough
And sleeping on this couch
I did not have a bed and had to sleep on a couch
It got me fucked up
It made me feel terrible
My pockets filled with just enough Change
I had barely enough money
To spark a blunt up
To smoke marijuana
And maybe put a few up in the tank
And perhaps buy gas for my car
If I’m on E on you drive today
If I am low on gas when you drive
I got a plug within the gang
I have a contact within the group
Who show the crew love
Who is loyal to the gang
Cus nigga we blow
Because we are successful
Swear I can’t wait till I blow
I cannot wait until I am successful
Cus I can’t hit rock bottom
Because I cannot fall any lower
It had me kicking in doors
It drove me to commit crimes
And plotting on em for pros
And scheming to earn a profit
I need the stick for the road
I need protection while traveling
Cus karma come n I know it
Because I believe in the concept of karma
Got a shot pray ion blow it
I have an opportunity and hope not to fail
GOD I was looking for a blessing
I was seeking divine intervention
Poison nigga lethal no injection
Toxic people are harmful even without physical contact
Seeking Guidance gotta carry my Protection
I need spiritual guidance and physical protection
Teaching me a lesson
Providing me with a valuable learning experience
What you do it lingers in ya presence
Your actions have a lasting impact
Know it’s consequences debted to ya Actions
Be aware of the repercussions of your actions
Came up from nothing I maintain My hunger
I came from nothing and remain motivated
Cus Ian nowhere
Because I am not successful yet
Niggas that ain’t got no ethic
People who lack work ethic
Won’t make it nowhere
Will not succeed in life
Nigga gone respect my hustle cus Dawg I been there
People will respect my hard work because I have struggled
Bouta check checking my resolution Like New Years
I am about to assess and recommit to my goals like a New Year's resolution
Cus Ian going broke no more
Because I do not want to be broke again
And that’s on me
It is my responsibility
Banging up in boost we mobile
We are on the move and ready to succeed
We need the cheese
We need money
Ima southside baby
I am from the south side of a city
The hustle breeded in me
I have a natural tendency to work hard
If mama knew the things I did
If my mother knew about my actions
She wouldn’t agree
She would disapprove
I been plotting on a million
I have been strategizing to earn a large sum of money
Get a feeling it’s in reach
I believe it is possible
Came a long way from chilling
I have come a long way from casual relaxation
Every day a different beat
Every day is a new challenge
Every other week different city
Every two weeks, I am in a different city
Henny on the beach
Drinking Hennessy on the beach
Ian made it you a think I did
I have succeeded in spite of others' disbelief
How I make it seem
How I portray it
I done made it up from homeless
I have achieved success despite being homeless at one point
Niggas In the system
People who have been incarcerated
Seeking for just where that home Went
Trying to return to a home
Niggas trynna kill em
People attempting to murder them
Accolades adding up
Achievements are accumulating
And they was trynna block the Ceiling
Others tried to prevent my success
Ian stopping till A nigga fucking Selling out pavilions
I will not stop until I am so successful that I am selling out concert venues
Debted to your actions
Owed to your actions
Debted to your actions
Owed to your actions
Debted to your
Owed to your
Debted to your
Owed to your
Debted to your actions yea
Owed to your actions, yes
