Growing up, yeah my life was really tragic
Lost a lotta friends, I was focused on the rapping
Remember times when my family didn't have shit
Made it out, I don't even know what happened
Growing up, yeah my life was really tragic
Lost a lotta friends, I was focused on the rapping
Remember times when my family didn't have shit
Made it out, I don't even know what happened
As a kid, never slept inside a bed now
Age of ten, father said it's time to get out
Had nowhere to go, I was sleeping in the shed now
Nowadays, he's as good to me as dead now
People in my school, talking shit, it didn't bother me
Focused on my goal, get my mama outta poverty
Tried to take my heart away, emotionally robbing me
Sacrificed my family so success is all it's gotta be
Dreams of being someone people said that I would never be
Took it on the chin, criticism made a better me
Thank you to my family for never, ever doubting me
Never got the chance to tell you how much that shit meant to me
Growing up, yeah my life was really tragic
Lost a lotta friends, I was focused on the rapping
Remember times when my family didn't have shit
Made it out, I don't even know what happened
Growing up, yeah my life was really tragic
Lost a lotta friends, I was focused on the rapping
Remember times when my family didn't have shit
Made it out, I don't even know what happened
I came up from nothing, made a living for my future kids
Reaching up to God, asking just how bright my future is
I don't need the hate, negativity is tumorous
Don't listen if you hate me, I don't need no one to humor this
Dreaming as a kid, I would one day be a big star
Singing songs in Kindergarten, taught myself the guitar
Even I'll admit that my old music was subpar
Ain't no backing down, shit I only made it this far
Proved that I can do it so it's fuck you if you doubted me
Told my mom I'd make it so I gotta make her proud of me
Manifest my destiny, I'll do this undoubtedly
Knew that this would happen, no this shit is not astounding me
Growing up, yeah my life was really tragic
Lost a lotta friends, I was focused on the rapping
Remember times when my family didn't have shit
Made it out, I don't even know what happened
Growing up, yeah my life was really tragic
Lost a lotta friends, I was focused on the rapping
Remember times when my family didn't have shit
Made it out, I don't even know what happened
