Made Me Everything

(album: ELEMENTS Vol. 1 - 2020)

Ayye
What you gave to me
Oh Lord
Your sweet love (your sweet love)
Oh Baby
Then again I go down
I go down on my knees and I pray
Yes Lord, thank you Lord

Usher said, "You don't have to call"
But you have to call
My schedule too busy to be tacking on
Got your bae watching like I'm Hasselhoff
Can't ignore, going for your misses like I grabbed a board (Yeah)
Border agents paranoid, so much back and forth (Back and forth)
I touched down in New York, Eli Manning, boy (Eli Manning, boy)
All my life I got off on the 13th floor
Grateful for these blessings till I'm seeing plenty more, that's for sure

Hmm, shooting the lights out
Came out the mud, the diamond in rough, just gimme a wipe down, yeah
Shining bright until the lights turn out
Salute me when you see me, man
Salute me when you see me, goddamn

The pain made me everything I am
Took everything I got
Right up to the top
The pain made me everything I am
Took everything I got
Went right up to the top (Aye)

You ain't got the bandwidth to handle this
You ain't got the bandwidth to handle this, nah
You ain't got the bandwidth to handle this
You ain't got the bandwidth to handle this, nah

Ouu, well spoken for a black man
That's how you serve a compliment with your back hand
A routine stop, ain't no talking back
Save your breath, keep your two cents and invest in a dash cam
I've been a menace since back when
Sleeping on me you get smack cammed
Keep it G, would you rather be a never was or a has been?
I put it down, put a towel on it
In out the walls like the house haunted
I'm looking down, but I never look down on her
I put a crown on her, yeah

The kids are fed, the money is long, the head is good
The future's bright, the crown is heavy, the dash is wood grain
A long way from young, dumb, misunderstood
A long way from home, strong how we still came

Shooting the lights out
Came out the mud, the diamond in rough, just gimme a wipe down, yeah
Shining bright until the lights turn out
Salute me when you see me, man
Salute me when you see me, goddamn

The pain made me everything I am
Took everything I got
Right up to the top
The pain made me everything I am
Took everything I got
Went right up to the top (Aye)

You ain't got the bandwidth to handle this
You ain't got the bandwidth to handle this, nah
You ain't got the bandwidth to handle this
You ain't got the bandwidth to handle this, nah
