Rags2Riches 2
Rod Wave Lyrics

We went from rags to riches (yeah)
We used to have nothing, now we're wealthy and live in luxury

Project fences to livin' luxury
We used to live in the projects, now we live in a luxurious lifestyle

Straight out that bottom, nobody gave nothing to me
We came from the bottom and had to work hard to achieve success without any help from anyone

Be careful while fucking with me
Don't underestimate me or try to hurt me because I have people who will defend me

All of my lil' brothers 'bout it, they cuttin' for me
I have loyal friends who will protect me at all costs

Yeah, they gon' cut you for me
My friends won't hesitate to harm someone who tries to hurt me

Lay in the cut with them cutters and cut you for free
They will harm someone on my behalf without expecting anything in return

Say she in love with me (what else?)
She claims to love me but there may be other motives for her affection

But save your love, I just want your company (Pray 4 Love)
I don't want a serious relationship, I just want someone to spend time with and have fun

I fall in the club for free
I receive special treatment when I go to clubs and don't have to pay to get in

I give out daps and them hugs, but no one's for me
I have many acquaintances but no one who truly cares about me

'Cause that type of shit don't faze a player, uh (what else?)
Not having real friends doesn't affect me because I'm focused on my success

This type of shit is what make a hater
Other people may envy my lifestyle and success and become my detractors

When you got it out the mud, yeah
We didn't have anything handed to us, we worked hard for our success

Ran it up, yeah
We made a lot of money through our hard work and business endeavors

Really don't give no fuck, yeah
We don't care what anyone else thinks, we're focused on our success

When you turn nothing to something, yeah
We started with nothing and have become successful through our hard work

Really hustlin', yeah
We're dedicated and working hard to maintain our success

Young and gettin' that money, yeah
Despite our youth, we're earning a lot of money and achieving great things

I went from rags to riches
I went from poverty to wealth and success

I still go back to the trenches
I haven't forgotten where I started and still have connections to my past

We had to smash some niggas
We had to fight and confront some people in order to protect ourselves and our success

No silver spoons, we had plastic utensils
We didn't come from privileged backgrounds and had to make do with what we had

He just came home, he still packin' his pistol
One of our friends just got out of jail and is still carrying a weapon

Die in these streets or get saved by the system
We're either at risk of being killed or being saved by the justice system

Or get you some millions, my lifestyle is vicious
Or, you can become successful and wealthy like me, but it's a tough lifestyle

These hoes ain't gon' miss you, they fuck on your partner
Women who claim to love you may still be unfaithful and cheat with your friends

Act like they forgot you, that shit have you sick
People who used to care about you may pretend they don't know you anymore, which is hurtful

My girl, she the realest, I know how to pick 'em
My current girlfriend is very loyal and trustworthy, and I have good judgement when it comes to picking partners

I know what I did, I need you to bear with me
I've made mistakes in the past, but I want my partner to support me and stick by my side

I know shit get ugly, but that's why you pretty
Life can be difficult and unpleasant, but having a supportive partner makes it more bearable

And pushin' a Bentley, my kind near extinct
Driving a luxury car like a Bentley is uncommon among people from my background

I put up them millions, I'll never go broke
I've earned and saved a lot of money, so I'm financially secure and won't go broke

I'm a god in my hood, I give everyone hope
I'm very successful and respected in my community and inspire others to achieve their goals

Can't remember a time when my answer was nope
I've become very successful and rarely have to turn down requests or opportunities

I remember the times I had nowhere to go
I haven't forgotten my past struggles and homelessness

Down to my lowest, I turned to a pro
Even at my lowest point, I was able to utilize my skills and expertise to improve my situation

And I'm pourin' my heart out, I bought my lil' boy house
I'm expressing myself and sharing my story, and I was able to provide a home for my young son

I brought all the bros out, I never try show out
I'm loyal to my friends and family and don't try to show off my wealth or success

I'm never gon' go out, never that
I'll never lose my success or wealth, I'm dedicated to maintaining it

Every time that I turn around, I'm giving back
I'm always donating and helping others, grateful for my success and wealth

Once they whack him, he's dead, it ain't no gettin' back
If someone is killed, there's no way to bring them back, so violence is no joke

I was giving my all, not asking for it back
I was dedicating my time and effort to others without expecting anything in return

I had blue hearts at first, I had to turn 'em black
I was naive and trusting at first, but learned to become more cautious and hardened over time
