(Hook)

Got me thinking bout, where I was and where I'm at now

But through the good and bad, a nigga still proud

Thinking bout, where I was and where I'm at now

But through the good and bad a nigga still proud

(Bridge)

No options left, the bills were piling my moms look stressed

Hard times i guess, it's just the mess, made and left from unpaid debts..

Pops was working, moms was working

I tried to keep my pain hidden in verses

The pen take me to a place I would rather be

A place where the hurt can't seem to capture me

Well at least I got exposed to it young...

Cause I wouldn't be half the man I've become...

It was a gift, also a curse...

The best can make you better it could also make you worse

Take that wisdom with you to the dirt

A dollar bill can never match what your life's worth

But niggas don't understand they rather kill first

Seen firsthand what people do to get paid

It hurts to say but we're all still slaves

Working hard to smile with big ben

Ironic green bills are covered with white men

It's crazy to think about, thinking till the ink come out

Can't die silent, I gotta speak the truth aloud

Always found a reason to smile...

The low times, never kept us down

I thank god for the present of now...

Through the good and bad I'm still proud uh

(Hook)

Got me thinking bout, where I was and where I'm at now

But through the good and bad, a nigga still proud

Thinking bout, where I was and where I'm at now

But through the good and bad a nigga still proud

All hail Black Caesar

I walk thru them valleys in the dark all alone just me and dessert eagle

I see the impossible and I laugh at the challenge

I'm too dope even the triple beams is unbalanced

You criticizing my tactics or my talents

Niggas talkin beef ain't bout it get em a salad

Came a long way from sleeping on a pallet

Landmark house 1 bathroom selling squirrels out the packages

That's back when my nigga Aaron was in the Wallabies

Where I'm from you either wanna be like Mike or be the man with keys

And these keys don't connect to no ignition

But with the right connect next time you pull up that Box on them inches

Ooooh the bitches

I'm feeling like G Money before that glass dick

With a bad bitch putting fragments where they can't stitch

Right or wrong I am who I remain

Everything I'm not makes the nigga I became

My actions speak above my intentions and to be frank

Fuck you and your opinions if you wasn't there penny pinching with me for them now n laters

I felt better stealing out yo refrigerator

Beat my mama home from her 2nd job bumping 2Pac thru my subwoofers like fuck the neighbors

They tell me keep it down fuck that I'm celebrating

Living like I made it, with a bowl of grits and glass of ice faucet water

Smiling from corner to corner

(Hook)

Got me thinking bout, where I was and where I'm at now

But through the good and bad, a nigga still proud

Thinking bout, where I was and where I'm at now

But through the good and bad a nigga still proud

(Bridge)

Hard times i guess, it's just the mess, made and left from unpaid debts..
