Ain't been the same since 2016 when I grew up and hopped on the scene
Say that I'm changing my ways I'm in the studio I'm leaving the streets
Lookin' for someone to film the whole gang cause I'm lit with my team
Making all these money takin' trips overseas
It's a dream
Blessed to make it this hard
Blessed to go this far
Blessed to have this car
Blessed to have these scars (Blessed to have these scars)
All my flaws and all
All my flaws and all (All my flaws and all)
Bitch I'm going hard that's win lose or draw
I swear I ain't takin' no L's
I'm the only one who can stop myself
Used to go sleep on the floor
Now it's penthouse views so you know I feel fly as hell
Just a year ago I was broke as a joke
Dirty clothes and no damn hoes
Now a days I be stackin' that bread
Big cheddar and I'm lovin' the head
Yeah I love my dope
And yeah I love my dough
Addicted to the game
But never love a hoe
Put my trust in gang cause they're staying ten toes
Put my trust in gang cause they're staying ten toes
Yeah I love my dope
And yeah I love my dough
Addicted to the game
But never love a hoe
Put my trust in gang cause they're stayin' ten toes
Put my trust in gang cause they're stayin' ten toes
