[Chorus: Drew Love]

Even with the money and the power (Money and the power)

Still won't respect you (Still won't respect you)

And this world gon' test you

Oh, wish somebody told me

You can't forget where you started (Forget where you started)

That's still where your heart is (Still where your heart is)

This life is a blessing

Blessing, blessing

[Verse 1: Drew Love]

Got a lot on my conscience (Uh)

Startin' to feel like if I keep runnin', I'ma run out of options (Yeah, hey)

Switch the way I'm steppin', every move I make a little more cautious, uh

So every relationship I get in, it get a little more toxic (Toxic, baby)

Yeah, baby, huh

I wish the younger me could see me now

I wish my grandmama could see me now

I know them old bitches would still be down

But on the low, they'd love to see me drown

Better watch my temper, that's what turn me to the old me

If not for me, then for my dawgs that came before me

That's why I grind, it's up to me to tell they story

Gon' keep on shinin' 'til the day they can't ignore me

[Chorus: Drew Love & Phil Adé]

Even with the money and the power (Money and the power)

Still won't respect you (Still won't respect you)

And this world gon' test you

Oh, wish somebody told me

You can't forget where you started (Forget where you started)

That's still where your heart is (Still where your heart is)

This life is a blessing (Yeah, ADÉ)

Blessing, blessing (Man)

[Verse 2: Phil Adé]

Take me back to Castle Boulevard

Young, dumb and full of heart

A drive you couldn't put in park

A crew you couldn't pull apart

Rap was fun and somethin' more

Ain't know the play was still was sure

Those the times I won't forget

Those the times when it was pure

Now this Porsche come with a cost and it ain't money

Look, the game ugly

It hurt when I learned it ain't for me

Trust me, the politicin' worth a few figures

But they talkin' down like, I don't know, people who shoot niggas

Shit is backwards

Beats and backwoods how I vent

Speak my mind, how you take it's exactly how I meant

Take your time, young nigga, take your time

Is what I say to myself

Tryna play all these cards that I been dealt

Are you shittin' me?

Boy, what's on me's also in me, so I'm Gucci

Don't think you got taste just 'cause you bit me, truthfully

I hope that I find a woman that fit me

And that my bundle of joy ain't with a bundle of Brittany

[Chorus: Drew Love & Phil Adé]

Even with the money and the power (Hahaha, money and the power)

Still won't respect you (Uh, still won't respect you)

And this world gon' test you (Yeah)

Oh, wish somebody told me

You can't forget where you started (Forget where you started, damn)

That's still where your heart is (Still where your heart is, real one 'til I'm done)

This life is a blessing (That's on everything)

Blessing, blessing
