Had to elevate my life and leave some friends behind, I had to
You could've been ballin' right here with me, I can't feel bad for you
They tell me what you sayin' behind my back, no, I'm not mad at you
I knew it was gon' be like this, back when I was on the avenue
Had to elevate my life and leave some friends behind, I had to
You could've been ballin' right here with me, I can't feel bad for you
They tell me what you sayin' behind my back, no, I'm not mad at you
I knew it was gon' be like this, when I was on the avenue
I had to go and elevate, ayy, climbin' high, I won't let up
Hardly catchin' my breath, they havin' trouble tryna
They havin' trouble, can't catch up,
Must've made the wrong moves
I ain't sorry, I ain't jealous
I'm just doin' what I do
Knowin' I can't take em all, still I gotta take a few
Always racin' to the top, tell my mom I love the view
I been ballin' like LeBron, M.I.A. to L.A
Always fade when I shoot, hard to judge, what's the play
At the rim, too cool, understand or get passed
Tired of walkin', float past
Put my heart in these songs
Climbin' up outta my past
They just ain't built to last
Like I'm Ford, built tough, like the muscle car tough
I can stomach when it's rough, I been workin' all year
Switchin' the flows like gears,
Now my name ringin' bells
And you could've been here
Name ringin' bells now
And you could've been here
Had to elevate my life and leave some friends behind, I had to
You could've been ballin' right here with me, I can't feel bad for you
They told me what you sayin', behind my back, no, I'm not mad at you
I knew it was gon' be like this when I was on that avenue
Had elevate my life and leave some friends behind, I had to
You could've been ballin' right here with me, I can't feel bad for you
They told me what you sayin', behind my back, no, I'm not mad at you
I knew it was gon' be like this when I was on that avenue
I knew it was gon' be like this, had to leave some friends behind
All that love was making me blind, had to change the vision
Now the checks I'm gettin', ain't no stressful livin
I can flex a little, cause the bank is bigger
They think I'm that nigga, hmm, shit, I think it too
Payin' with my money, ain't no tellin' what I might do
Had to cut you off and that hit different cause I liked you
Tryna come back around, you better beat it just like Michael
Money on the floor, the same shit I had to go through
Had to elevate my life and leave some friends behind, I had to
You could've been ballin' right here with me, I can't feel bad for you
They told me what you sayin', behind my back, no, I'm not mad at you
I knew it was gon' be like this when I was on the avenue
