When I Got It

(album: How It Never Was - 2015)

Spent two racks on my footwear
Should have seen my face when me and Kiss first shook hands
I came a long way, I use to push grains right out the Ford van
The wouldn't see me unless having a talk with Jordan
And I'm not sure if God got plans, just hope he changes my life for the better
You know I always have the Rose Royce fetish
I got tired of grabbing work, thinking of ways to stretch it
But a 9 5 will not give me the keys to a Lexus, you heard me
I was broke sleeping on studio couches
Had thoughts of running in niggas houses
Had thoughts of moving back to Temple Road with Cloth backing up houses
But I came a long way no need to take the hard way
Finna make it wrong with my sister, I needed more space
We had [?] every night because we couldn't afford stake
Couldn't afford lawyers, PD ain't do much for us
So court day just wish we was all straight, motherfuckers

Never said the road would be easy, but I don't believe God brought me this far to leave me
I never said the road would be easy, I don't believe, God brought me this far to leave me
And I can't give up now, and I won't give up now [x2]

I use to wonder what the hell was like
Thought I never be shit in life
Cruising in Beverly Hills, smoking I did it twice
Matter of fact, did it more than the adventist preacher where the water at
I use to watch the Jamie Foxx show
Now I'm at Jamie Foxx house recording and nigga I'm moving up
Got my bags LAX waiting for the Hover to come
Just to think my teachers in high school said I was dumb
Christmas times we ain't got no presents made us numb, so young
Not eve, with us, ain't give a fuck who you are
If you bleed, I bleed, I climb, I reach
Different goals I achieved, different clothes off the racks
I got hoes on their knees
Strate to daddies for my weed
Gas station for the [?]
I'm motivating my hood
I came a long way from that basement recording with Ruck
Still putting money on books
I'm on sunset outside the waffle house smoking kush drinking toss nigga

Never said the road would be easy, but I don't believe God brought me this far to leave me
I never said the road would be easy, I don't believe, God brought me this far to leave me
And I can't give up now, and I won't give up now [x2]
