[Intro]

See where I'm from alot of niggas think they ain't gonna make it outchea

Shit, sometimes I feel the same way..

You know with the system and shit, trynna hold a nigga down

All you really gotta do is keep your head up, and get some Dedication

[Verse 1]

I'm from the bottom but a nigga coming up

It wasn't easy, man I swear that shit was tough mane

So many times when I felt like giving up

I put my all and it still wasn't enough mane

Stay dedicated like a diamond in the rough

I'ma shine like a diamond in the rough mane

Was dead broke so I had to get it up

And its crazy how my niggas switching up dang

These niggas trippin' whats so hard to keep it real?

But really fuck em' I'm just trynna make a mill mane

A nigga starving man I swear I need a meal

I'm tired of struggling, man I swear I need a deal mane

Never fold, keep it solid just like steel (concrete)

I remember when we couldn't pay the bill mane

But you gon' make it fuck them niggas and fuck who hatin'

Never fake it, all you need is some Dedication

[Chorus]

Just a nigga trynna make it (make it)

But these crackers trynna lock me down (lock me down)

All you need is motivation (motivation)

And all you need is dedication (dedication)

Just a nigga trynna make it (make it)

But these crackers trynna lock me down (lock me down)

All you need is motivation (motivation)

And all you need is dedication (dedication)

[Verse 2]

If you my nigga, be my nigga and don't change

I told my niggas I'ma always stay the same mane

Stay dedicated thru the struggles and the pain

I got addicted music all up in my vein mane

Losing sleep got a nigga feeling drained

Skipping school music all up in my brain mane

You started shining now your niggas acting strange

You ain't my nigga I'ma crop you out the frame mane

These niggas trippin' whats so hard to keep it real?

But really fuck em' I'm just trynna make a mill mane

A nigga starving man I swear I need a meal

I'm tired of struggling, man I swear I need a deal mane

Never fold, keep it solid just like steel (concrete)

I remember when we couldn't pay the bill mane

But you gon' make it fuck them niggas and fuck who hatin'

Never fake it, all you need is some Dedication

[Chorus]

Just a nigga trynna make it (make it)

But these crackers trynna lock me down (lock me down)

All you need is motivation (motivation)

And all you need is dedication (dedication)

Just a nigga trynna make it (make it)

But these crackers trynna lock me down (lock me down)

All you need is motivation (motivation)

And all you need is dedication (dedication)
