[Intro]

Being at the bottom teach you a lot, yeah

It really shows you people true colors for real, I'm tal'm 'bout family and all

People switch on you so easy, I swear to God (Yeah, oh)


[Chorus]

Concentrate

How I'm gon' do that when I ain't ate lunch today?

Mind in another world, I can't function straight

When you at the bottom, they ain't got much to say

But it's a lot of shit I got to talk about

Suicide thoughts, she keep thinkin' 'bout walkin' out

Highly aware of everything, but we stuck with doubt (Yeah, go dummy, Kyle)

Mama, if you ever leave, you can't walk without me

And no matter what it take, I'ma do whatever for me to be great

I don't want to see that pain in your face no more, so I'm going strong (Whoa, whoa-oa, oh)

And if it wasn't for the case, I ain't gon' lie, mama, we probably wouldn't have escaped

Gotta be grateful for what the struggle make, but we just gotta keep holdin' on (Oh)

And it feel as if the world's going against us

It's crazy how family turn into pretenders, but still, we here standin'

And life could knock me down, but I'll never surrender

And right now, we going through a crazy adventure, but this ain't where we landin'


[Verse 1]

One thing 'bout being deep in that water (Oh), you gotta learn how to move under pressure

Growin' up, I never had a male father, so I toted on that tool for my pleasure (Glah)

Ratted on one of my dudes, no, I'll never, either you can make the news or be clever

It wasn't hard for me to choose to do better, understand that screws loose when you nail 'em (Real shit)

I got the call pops ain't doing right, they keep tellin' me he sick, pulled a muscle liftin' heavy shit

Swear to God, this ain't nothin' I planned (I swear to God, it ain't, mane, this crazy)

I think about this every night (What?), tell me how selfish can you get

Still workin', but your daughter super-rich, swear to God, I don't understand it (Man, how selfish can you get? Lowdown, man)


[Chorus]

And no matter what it take, I'ma do whatever for me to be great

I don't want to see that pain in your face no more, so I'm going strong (I swear to God I'm going hard for real)

And if it wasn't for the case, I ain't gon' lie, mama, we probably wouldn't have escaped

Gotta be grateful for what the struggle make, but we just gotta keep holdin' on (Oh)

And it feels as if the world's going against us

It's crazy how family turn into pretenders (Oh), but still, we here standin'

And life could knock me down, but I'll never surrender (Uh)

And right now, we going through a crazy adventure (Yuh), but this ain't where we landin'


[Verse 2]

And sometimes, I still give him a call even though I know that he'll never answer

I really learned a lot from losin' my dawg, that life too short, so cherish every chapter

At the bottom, it be a whole lot of disasters, learned from the streets, we didn't know nothin' 'bout a pastor

Why it seem like we was brought here just to battle? Why it seem like takin' my life won't matter?

Oh, don't let it be, I worked for it all, I can't lose to the streets

I promise I got a plan (Swear to God, I do)

Oh, let 'em see, I'd rather be a rich lame than to be a broke G

But I don't think they understand it
