Take two
Take two take two
Yeah
Yeah
Let's take it to the bricks, back in 06
I was just a kid who had a dream to do it big
Wanted to be rich, I had to scratch the itch
And now I'm doing everything I had down on my list
I was always on the move
holes up in my shoes
We was broke but momma always made sure we had food
I'm telling you the truth
Ain't got a thing to lose
Just trying paint a picture of the reasons that I move, yeah
l'm never gonna stop, never gone not try my best all I know to do is grind yeah
And I don't care about the people talking shit they won't even give a minute of my time
Ain't worried bout the lies, I got a bigger why
I'm heading for my prime, no Logan or KSI
It's my turn
Till the day I die to the grind I'm a give my life
It's one thing that I know
That I gotta live for me can't nobody do for me it's my life oh
Cause without me there won't be nothing unless I go
And live my dreams and do what I please with my time oh
That's one thing that I know
Yeah I just been focused on what's inside
All my life I been feeling like something just wasn't right
In my mind I feel like I was blind
I'm tryna fight these demons off and take back what was mine
But It's gonna take some time
And I'm a be ok
I wanna get money so I can fix my family's pain
Or maybe I'm lying cause it's a cool thing just to say
I might just be doing this shit to get a little fame
Cause I want a crib in Malibu
Hope the money don't let me go catch an attitude
I got a record of be cruel
Some tell me I'm pretty rude
Think maybe they telling truth
When people talk to me that shit it puts me in a bad mood
But I hope that I'm not
I been working on myself and that shit took me a lot
Everything that I got but I don't whine though
I'm a do what it takes as long as I grow
It's one thing that I know
That I gotta live for me can't nobody do for me it's my life oh
Cause without me there won't be nothing unless I go
And live my dreams and do what I please with my time oh
That's one thing that I know
Don't care if they approve
I'm tired of the rules
I done seen some things
Some things I wanna do
I gotta live true
I gotta live for me I can't live for nobody else and they cannot live for me
So I keep grinding
Always in move in silence
After I figure it out I'll show you how I climbed up
But you gotta do the work, not doing overtime
Just so you can have it easy you still gotta put your time in
Aye, yeah that's all I got to say
I been through some things
I came a long way from the days that I had nothing but a dollar and a dream
And now all these people yeah they gonna say my name
And it's, Eli Q U I double N
Coming from the bottom of the city if the sin
It's the city's of wins, the city of shining lights
Even when I'm in the dark yeah I'm still shining bright oh my
Yeah I look like a star
You can talk, you can hate, long as you do from afar
I'm a do my thing I don't care who's in charge
Won't do no thing if I don't want to
Who's gone make us, you won't break nothing
But yourself, you can try if you're patient
I won't bend won't fold
I thank God cause he watching on my soul
It's one thing that I know
That I got to live for me can't nobody do for me it's my life oh
Cause without me there won't be nothing unless I go
And live my dreams and do what I please with my time oh
That's one thing that I know
And It's just like
If I don't do it who's gone do it for me you know
You really just got to, you really got to go and do it yourself
Because
The only one who's gone do it for you is you
And that's just what it is
