Humble Beginnings

(album: Soul Searching - 2019)

Counting the bands, counting the digits
All of us start, now all of us living (All of us living, yeah)
I pimped out my ride, call me Xzibit (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I am a man from humble beginnings
I start to try but it's calling rigid (Brr)
You won't be caught if they catch you slipping (No no no)
Family back home, my family I'm missing (Family I'm missing, yeah)
They living good like they getting commission
They getting commission, oh yeah
Yeah, I'm feeling good, I'm feeling right
Stop smoking weed but I'm taking a drag
Think of my pops and where we was at
Whipping the 'gram, it's all that we have
Place-to-pace, facing the vision
I was like Raven, man, I had the vision
Picture me here, I picture me winning
Now I'm in the top floor, I'm smiling, I'm grinning

Can't believe that we made it
Can't believe that we made it
We was broke, we was breaking
Now I'm here and I'm staying
Can't believe that we made it
Can't believe that we made it
We was broke, we was breaking
Now I'm here and I'm...

Counting the bands, counting the digits
Wasn't born rich, wasn't born privileged
Lebanese blood, I was born ambitious (I was born ambitious)
My pops told me, if you want it, go get it, you gotta go get it, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, I been going hard, stay hot like the summer
You know I take my chance, I might never get another
Blinded to the hate, like my name be Stevie Wonder
Do it for the fam and my fans and my brothers
Remember Cherry Hill, couldn't sit down on the bus
Santa kept me going like a voice from above
Knew that I was destined, man, I knew that I was touched
In my head was conversations that I knew should be discussed
Jump like seven years, now I'm turning to a star
Living in my dream, and man, I bought my dream car
Realizing that nothing doesn't make you who you are
'Cause money buys us ownership so we'll all be scars
Damn, money buys us ownership so we'll all be scars
Grateful for it all but my wealth is in my heart
When they tell me that I made it, thought I made it from the start

Can't believe that we made it (I can't believe, can't believe)
Can't believe that we made it (I can't believe)
We was broke, we was breaking (Breaking, breaking)
Now I'm here and I'm staying
Can't believe that we made it (Yeah, yeah)
Can't believe that we made it (I can't believe, I can't believe)
We was broke, we was breaking (I can't believe)
Now I'm here and I'm...
