With the hand I was dealt, they probably thought that I´d be dead or in jail Where I´m from, every day feel hotter than hell Still gotta keep your heater when it´s hot, I tell you (Yo, Keyz)
´Cause you don´t wanna be stressed out in a hundred-degree weather People love to talk down, say my name, but they don´t know a thing Every day, I´m thanking God that my lifestyle changed Every time I missed the bus, I walked to school in the rain Know you love to hear my song, but is you feelin´ my pain? I used to log on the ´Book, see RIPs, man, this shit here ain´t safe I grabbed my tool and grabbed my books, we strapped down every day Fatz say he ain´t got no opps, so give me your flame He crazy, cocked it back, then banged it ´fore he play with my name
I love to rap, but gettin´ attention was my biggest of fears This rap shit was just my dream, but I´m finally here Soon as I bumped into the millions, bought my sister a whip She used to let me borrow her bike to go hit me a lick Remember my bed had bugs, so I slept on the floor Take my pain out with that poker, go and kick me a door In the ´partments with my partner, his grandma say I´m a demon At the gas station, waitin´, plottin´, and schemin´ And I thought that my heart was in the trenches forever My other partner killed his partner, changed my whole perspective
We all got twenty-four hours and one life to maintain So get up off your ass, nigga, go It´s all about grinding, fuck perfect timing Fuck maintainin´, get rich or die tryin´ When it´s you against the world, your back against the wall You´re down on your luck, tell me who can you call? Your ho keep complaining, bitch won´t shut the fuck up Get the fuck out my face and shut the fuck up Tell me who could I call when I was fucked up? Tell me who can you call when you´re fucked up? (Uh)
