Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No matter what I'm holding onto my faith
Gotta chase the money I been grinding all day
Protecting mine cause like a thief they gon' try and take this shit all away
Rez baby turning nothing to something my motivation is pain
No matter what I'm holding onto my faith
Gotta chase the money I been grinding all day
Protecting mine cause like a thief they gon' try and take this shit all away
Rez baby turning nothing to something I'm motivated off pain
I went up, and I was tryna make you proud
I went up, and they was tryna bring me down
I went up, but they ain't fucking wit me now
I went up, and I coming back down
Put a jacket on my soul when this world get cold
I told god show me the way cause I'm living off hope
Ninety nine problems but I keep it a hunnid won't change up
Staying true to my roots just like I came from the rubble
I was born a champion won't take that from me
Come from the dirt roads where this shit get muddy
I had dreams of sitting up at the top just like an eagle when he fly in the sky
I got it in me not on me just like my physical heart
Won't fuck around I gotta make this shit count
I'm ten toes when I'm standing my ground, I took flight like levitation they be asking me how
My circle full of natives I can't really fuck with no crowds
The perfect timing bitch my time is right now
You see me going up, man on the moon shoot for the stars like an astronaut
See me at the top they gon' really try and pick me apart
Say what I am and what I'm not but they got it twisted like a fucking knot
No matter what I'm holding onto my faith
Gotta chase the money I been grinding all day
Protecting mine cause like a thief they gon' try and take this shit all away
Rez baby turning nothing to something my motivation is pain
No matter what I'm holding onto my faith
Gotta chase the money I been grinding all day
Protecting mine cause like a thief they gon' try and take this shit all away
Rez baby turning nothing to something I'm motivated off pain
I went up, and I was tryna make you proud
I went up, and they was tryna bring me down
I went up, but they ain't fucking wit me now
I went up, and I coming back down
Yeah
Let me tell you a story, in the closet I recorded talking to the mic
yeah, turned me into a poet, youngest but wise like I was the oldest
I ain't perfect I got flaws and I can't sugar coat it
This music making moves that a 9 to 5 couldn't
They heard the route that I'm taking and told me that I really shouldn't
Now that I'm up like the sun I got them sweating bullets
Make 'em think twice yeah, before they overlook me
Going crazy they know that I'm so wavy before I go
Imma put moms in a mercedes this for the people who love and also hate me
Soon they gone hear me everywhere yeah on the daily bliss
Kid and Soul-G (kid)
Yeah, that's my homie (yeah, yeah)
Yeah we going to the top together, together oh
No matter what I'm holding onto my faith
Gotta chase the money I been grinding all day
Protecting mine cause like a thief they gon' try and take this shit all away
Rez baby turning nothing to something my motivation is pain
No matter what I'm holding onto my faith
Gotta chase the money I been grinding all day
Protecting mine cause like a thief they gon' try and take this shit all away
Rez baby turning nothing to something I'm motivated off pain
I went up, and I was tryna make you proud
I went up, and they was tryna bring me down




I went up, but they ain't fucking wit me now
I went up, and I coming back down
