Fuck what hater, got to say, I've done came a long way
Still remember catchin' plays, from Da Island to Da H
Remember as a young nigga, I made my mind to be great
Learned to weather hard times, had to grind and keep faith
Used to pray for better days, amazed we made it out of maze
Sometimes you gotta separate, in order to really elevate
They tried to box me in, like I wasn't a heavyweight
They ain't wanna see me win, I had to set the record straight
You know I'm Oleander made, still got Oleander ways
That's why I put on for the tre, and fell in love with U of H
I ain't never touch the fields, was in that field makin' plays
Already had other skills, and knew some ways to get paid
That I learned from The O
That's why I'm grindin' everyday, Out here tryna make a way
Still on the road to riches I don't ever take a break
From the school of hard knocks I got my hustle from the trey,
Then I graduated from Da Island to Da H
Yeah, I did, then I graduated from Da Island to Da H
On hood, I'm good, then I graduated from Da Island to Da H
I was hittin' that road, I was on my paper chase
Now my paper straight, ain't gotta eat on paper plates
Still up on my grind, I don't ever take a break
We straight, but still hustlin' for this cake
Me and niggas don't relate, I wanna see the fam straight
I came a long way, yeah, that's what the fam say
In real life, I'm really live, so fuck what the gram say
D.C.E, the the campaign, forever runnin' things
We ain't pullin' hamstrings, and nah, we ain't a gang
Nigga, this a fam thing, half these bitches on our crew
They just want the damn fame, I swear this shit a damn shame
Now these bitches want you all, even the nigga last name
And soon as it rain, they be the first ones to change
That's why I'm give a bitch a thang, forever married to the game
That's why I'm grindin' everyday, Out here tryna make a way
Still on the road to riches I don't ever take a break
From the school of hard knocks I got my hustle from the trey,
Then I graduated from Da Island to Da H
Yeah, I did, then I graduated from Da Island to Da H
On hood, I'm good, then I graduated from Da Island to Da H
