Feels like yesterday I was a kid with just a dream now
Now I'm looking back and shit, I'm living all my dreams out
People used to laugh but now they all focused on me
Bet they feeling jealous cause they're seeing me succeed now
Do it for my mama and my brothers, yeah I need this
Reaching for the stars but I don't think I'll ever reach it
Laughing in the hallways, always said I wouldn't be shit
Did it cause I'm motivated, ain't no way to teach it
Mama raised us on her own, my father was a deadbeat
Couldn't pay for groceries, the fridge was always empty
Sleeping on the floor, my mama's bed ain't have no bed sheets
Now I'm motivated, get a milli 'fore I'm twenty
Spent so much time losing, got me thinking that I can't win
Used to sleep in basements, so I'm praying for a mansion
Had no father figure in my life, we were abandoned
Saw my mama crying, all that pain I couldn't handle it
Remember as a kid, I didn't have shit
Do it for the times I couldn't have it
Used to hide my cash under my mattress
Aiming for the moon, I'm going past it
Looking at my past, that shit was tragic
Do it for my mom cause I was dadless
Losing all my friends cause they was laughing
Hoping when I'm done I get a palace
Shed a tear while writing, songs are getting to my heart now
Witnessing the struggle growing up, that shit was hard now
Getting hella personal, I'm laying all my cards out
Suffered from depression, music pulled me from the dark out
Feels like yesterday I was a kid with just a dream now
Now I'm looking back and shit, I'm living all my dreams out
People used to laugh but now they all focused on me
Bet they feeling jealous cause they're seeing me succeed now
Do it for my mama and my brothers, yeah I need this
Reaching for the stars but I don't think I'll ever reach it
Laughing in the hallways, always said I wouldn't be shit
Did it cause I'm motivated, ain't no way to teach it
