Verse 1:

Can never trust a nigga, let 'em watch you turn it up

Make it sound like macaroni if she let me stir up

I'm a chef up in the kitchen, fill my plate, I'm always serving

Make these niggas fucking nervous because I'm moving with purpose

A circus with these clowns, keep my circles looking perfect

Put myself in the position because I know that I deserve it

Connecting all these circuits, I became a man of service

Keep the weed forever burning while I'm waiting for my turn

Fighting all these urges while these demons make their surges

And I'm knowing that God heard me when I was at working Convergys

Never speaking to a clergy because religion don't deserve me

When I conversate with God, He's my one and only jury

Chorus:

Even with my back against the wall, we never left

Even when I had to take the fall, we never left

Even when I thought I lost it all, we never left

Even when I had to make that call, we never left

Verse 2:

Pressure with the weight I feel, love will make it real

Fighting just to make a meal, had to take and steal

Onion when the layers, had to make a deal

Swimming with my prayers, so I had to break the seal

Muddy waters with money on the mind

Yeah, we always on the grind with a family to raise

So don't make me cross the line

I'm always in a haze when I'm smoking on the kind

So when I write another page, I burn the ones I left behind

A child of the universe that was made by God's design

So there ain't no wasting time when I'm taking what is mine

And they think this shit will make me crazy, I'll be fine

This life is so amazing, so I just try to read the sign

Chorus:

Even with my back against the wall, we never left

Even when I had to take the fall, we never left

Even when I thought I lost it all, we never left

Even when I had to make that call, we never left
