I remember when I'm gonna sing this / Fix this barely got money to put food in the kitchen / After working hard trying make ends meets / Best believe to any life next week / Lyrics / But no one gonna hold me down / And this I swear to myself / Nobody gonna get the best of me / Cause I need nobody's help / And that for sure / I hold my own thing and do my own thing / I ain't gonna stop til I'll top and / Drop and resting in peace / I know I gotta stay strong / So I don't breck and my kids say / Daddy gotta make that bank / And if I die before I wake / I pry the lord my sole to take / Cause never will I give 'em / Never will I fell them because
The artist reflects on his past struggles when he barely had money to put food on the table, but he worked hard to make ends meet. He refuses to be held down and nobody will take advantage of him. He promises to continue working hard and never stop until he achieves his goals. He also prays to God to take care of his soul if he were to die. He won't give up or fail in his endeavors.

No matter what I do I never seems to be enough / They try to hold me down / But I get back up / My mind stay tough / When the time get rough / So I gotta take a puff on this purple stuff / I can't sleep I still up in the late night / I'm thinking about my move for the day light / There no left so I get my pay right / One false move they send straight to the cage right / I still live the same up in the street gangs / I spend awhile everyday trying to maintain / I still try to get up on my feet / Still trying to fly away / Still trying to spread my wings / But no matter what I'm never gonna give up / I gotta stay up both water in my head up / Even thou time are rough and you fed up / We gotta do what it take to get up

He takes breaks by indulging in substance abuse but maintains his sharp mindset during rough times. He continues to hustle and maintain his street life, but he remains determined to succeed and soar high. He refuses to give up despite the hardships and continues to fight for his future success.

Waking up in the morning everyday / With the same thought / Is the pain and the rain ever gonna stop / Will I make it through the day without getting shot / Or will the way of the world get me caught / Up in the mix down were I can't move / Do what I do if someone walks in my shoes / I give it up to cause work nine to five / Keep on doing what you doing to survive your life / But what would you do if your sons was at home / Crying on the floor cause / He left alway alone wishing he could fly away / Every single night cause his dad is in prison and / His mom on the pipe / Will that be enough to get you back on your feet / Or knowing that he ain't got food to eat / We do what we gotta do to make it throug these hard time / I always on the grind I gotta get mine
