I put in the work so I could boss up
Pushing through it
When I felt like taking off though
How many of us
Can say that we lost some
How is it a success
If it ain't never cost none

If you only knew the half
If you only knew the half
If you only knew the half
If you only knew the half

I went from a big house
To a storage unit
The lord knows I sacrificed a lot to do my music
I'm from a city
Where many don't get out
One day I had to say
I'm going to do this with you or not
I put up my own bread
Cause I know that I'm hot
Did some promos on line
Then got played by a bot
I thought boy I'm bouts
To really take off
The only thing that took off
Was my music off the platform
By email I was warned I was torn
Then I pushed through it
Cause I'm Papa Shawn Boo
cnd I ain't trying to get it
Illegally anyways
I tried to appeal it
They took back my streams cnyways
You can still see it
But it won't playback
That was money lost
That I can't get back
I regrouped
I'm independent I'll be back
I've lost more than that
If you only knew the half

I put in the work so I could boss up
Pushing through it
When I felt like taking off though
How many of us
Can say that we lost some
How is it a success
If it ain't never cost none

If you only knew the half
If you only knew the half
If you only knew the half
If you only knew the half

I'm trying to go from rags to riches
But I have been too busy fukiin bitches
Mind stay running
c nigga better get with it
Trying to put up numbers
c palace for my mother
Been down heavy in this dirt
For my downfall these niggas lerk
But I stay winning
Up on my grind
Yes it's my time
So step aside nd get in line
Kuz this shit mine
I stay shining
c diamond in the rough
It made me tough
Nigga wats up
Come test ur luck
But ima keep it buck
Kuz I been in these trenches
Lose everything just to keep up with niggas
Head to the sky I've prayed for forgiveness
Kuz did shit the sky mask way to get my way
So I can earn my place and I'm here to stay
Cant fuk around
U hear the sound
Its Family First says it loud
Kuz a nigga proud
c nigga once was down
But look at me now
Bossed up and it cost much
From the raw cut
For the fam kuz it's all love
So I put in this work yup

I put in the work so I could boss up
Pushing through it
When I felt like taking off though
How many of us
Can say that we lost some
How is it success
If it ain't never cost none

If you only knew the half
If you only knew the half
If you only knew the half
If you only knew the half
