[Intro Verse]
Gave my heart to the game
Now I live the life people dream about
They get lost in the fame
Stayed down now it's love when they see me out
Sit down and listen this a read aloud
Juba City, South Sudan I bring the people out
Standing on stage like damn
I can't believe the crowd
Kids wanna be me now
Wish my grandpa could see me now
[Hook]
My time comin' it's fate
No more runnin' in place
I always knew
But they gon recognize I'm one of thе greats
From sleeping on the floor, the studio til four
Cookin' bеats spittin' flows to international shows
Now I live it up
'member being close to givin' up
I was down bad
But I had to bounce back
Put my city on the map
My whole country on my back
We done came a long way and we ain't never going back
[Verse]
Always expected myself to make it
Back then they ain't give me respect I had to take it
Underestimated and overlooked
Now I'm out in France highly rated and overbooked
Nas asma gal ana safir
Shabab fekir bi mukh ya welet de shatir
And I be on the move nas gayadin sakit
Fi sika tai barow mahalat de fadi
Omun der aruf ques anna meen Bari
Wa nyangwara lakin sibu kalam farik
Arbaa wa siteen inna kulu wahit
Arbaa wa siteen inna kulu wahit
Ana mashi gidam, omun bes rija wara
Aghani tomun kulu de bes gada fi zibala
De khara bakhana
Tan ana gibu t'ai de sukun sakhana
Mushkili I'm a problem
[Hook]
My time comin' it's fate
No more runnin' in place
I always knew
But they gon recognize I'm one of the greats
From sleeping on the floor, the studio til four
Cookin' beats spittin' flows to international shows
Now I live it up
'member being close to givin' up
I was down bad
But I had to bounce back
Put my city on the map
My whole country on my back
We done came a long way and we ain't never going back
[Verse 2]
Kept my foot on they neck guess I'm about to break next
Made my own lane never waited for them to say yes
When I was young we used to skip out on our favorites
Back to school buying Shaq's at the Payless
Now I'm rocking J's, crazy how it just happened
To satisfy all the feelings of a kid that I never had em
Real talk that's why I don't even be bragging
Deep down still got trauma from everyone that was laughing
Took the pain and I buried it
Underground like I'm Harriett
Put the team on my back
It's no one else that can carry it
Told em go for their goals niggas acting the scariest
Now I'm getting intolerant running through em how dairy is
There he is, he gon get to the cream
Had to focus on the merch cause they ain't paying for streams
Made my own lane cause they ain't fit the machines
But really being independent ain't as easy as it seems
Now we living the dreams, we ain't sleep on ourselves
The irony, seeing folks succeed when I failed
Was inspiring
Now I spill this out on the daily like a diary
Remember when these crackas wouldn't hire me
Now I run my own shit and can't nobody fire me
And what I made in two weeks I done did that hourly
Same ones that doubted me clap and say they proud of me
And now they hit my number for money like the lottery
