[Intro]

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, that's probably Tago

Tahj Money

Pipe that shit up, TnT

I remember, shit, bitch, I felt so stuck, bro

You feel me?

Niggas still get to the shit, you know, life comes with up and downs

You know what I'm sayin', but

From where I was at, you know, I hit my licks (Even when your back against the)

Now I see that it's just—


[Chorus]

Even when your back against the wall

Phone keep ringing, but no one you can call

Just know it's gon' get rough, it's gon' be tough

Just when you had enough, you can't give up

You gotta tell yourself

Forget about the pain you felt

Every move is a counted step

I know you got a little more left


[Verse]

Sometimes I sit and wonder will it change?

It be hard not to go under tryna maintain

Then I be feeling like they phone don't work both ways

'Cause they can call but I can't call no one for a thing

Remember when they told me we was gon' see better days

A week later Deja died, and now I'm full of pain

Remember when they told me that we finally made it through the rain

A month later, phone ring, and now Bang out in the grave

Bitch, it's crazy, it be tearing me apart

I be feeling like it's no one there to talk

And I be feeling like it's no one I can call

It be so much on my mind but I cannot get it off

But that money make me happy, I'm so thankful for my team

'Cause now we state-to-state, I finally get to live my dream

So even though you're broken and your past is full of pain

You gotta keep moving towards better days


[Chorus]

Even when your back against the wall

Phone keep ringing, but no one you can call

Just know it's gon' get rough, it's gon' be tough

Just when you had enough, you can't give up

You gotta tell yourself

Forget about the pain you felt

Every move easy, count each step

I know you gotta live one out

Even when your back against the wall

Phone keep ringing, but no one you can call

Just know it's gon' get rough, it's gon' be tough

Just when you had enough, you can't give up

You gotta tell yourself

Forget about the pain you felt

Every move is a counted step

I know you got a little more left
