[Verse 1]

Yes I've been walking down a long road

Somebody told me that it's all gold

But still I sing the blues like I never got to choose

You'll never be somebody until somebody wants to be you

That's kind of crazy when you think about it

I swear I want it, so I dream about it

Because I just want to get it

As simple as I said it

A life long dream trying to get to where I'm headed

I'm staring at the top while I'm fighting with the bottom half

Grab up in the bucket saying "Fuck it, I just want a chance"

I wish I saved but I never do

Blowing money like it's got coke residue

So to the indrustry and who I wrote my letters to

I hope that when you find me, you find a better you

[Hook]

We just want to make it to the top

Never be somebody that I'm not

I don't care about your money

Because you ain't taking nothing from me

Momma said "Everyday's like this"

When it's "So what?" and you feeling like shit

Well it's one thing I ain't never going to quit

I ain't never going to quit

[Verse 2]

I said I swear that it's my time though

Because I been feeling in my prime hoe

Black hoodie, smoking loud, got my eyes low

And I ain't killed the game yet, I set my sights on

Label meetings, I don't even feel the need to tweet it

I'm from a small town, boy, I never be conceited

Went to church, only dreaming about them Jesus pieces

I never had it like they had it, now I see the reasons

And I've been extra patient

My team is motivated

I seen some others make it

You never saw me hate it

Nah, because I've been looking at the positive

Too much weight up on the bridge, something's gotta give

Christmas Eve, all these bitches know I've got to give

Ghetto flow, let it blow

Nobody hot as this

Nah, there ain't nobody hot as this

[Bridge]

I never take the hate up out of context

Because maybe I just ain't the one that's on next

And I've been losing all my dogs, where they going to fetch

While I'm thinking what's a king without a conquest

I'll never be someone I'm not

Feeling like Mike when them lights got hot

And I be doing me, I don't do a lot of sippin'

I do it for my team, even Jordan needed Pippen

[Hook]

We just want to make it to the top

Never be somebody that I'm not

I don't care about your money

Because you ain't taking nothing from me

Momma said "Everyday's like this"

When it's "So what?" and you feeling like shit

Well it's one thing I ain't never going to quit

I ain't never going to quit

[Outro]

Early in the morning

See the sun rising

Trying to meet somebody

Living and we're dying

And it's, hard work trying to make it to the finish line

And I ain't giving up yet

Trying to improvise

You can hate or you can love it

Oh, you can hate or you can love it
