I Made This Road

(album: We The People - 2016)

Been through the struggle
Paid dues with my life
Cards on the table
It's my game so you better fold
I made this road
My blood, sweat and tears
Pouring like burning liquor
I'm on that new shit
And you'll always be on the old
I paved this road
I made this road

With both feet on the ground, one step at a time
My aim is on point and I'm going for mine
Spitting hit after hit, drop 'em every season
Change the games as we know it, now they all wanna be 'em
I'm not standing for nothing, I wouldn't fight to the death
Your words of [?] makes me wish I was dead
I live it line for line, every rhyme for rhyme
The top was wide open so I made it all mine
Take a shot at the boss, your career is a loss
Hell a billion dollar budget couldn't fix what you [?]
So take it back to the start and look deep in your heart
'Cause y'all don't have what it takes to make a place on these charts

Been through the struggle
Paid dues with my life
Cards on the table
It's my game so you better fold
I made this road
My blood, sweat and tears
Pouring like burning liquor
I'm on that new shit
And you'll always be on the old
I paved this road
I made this road
I made this road

No genre can hold the sound in my soul
See what I become is more precious than gold
The value's unknown 'cause it's never been done
But I know that it's hot, it shines bright as the sun
I've been there and won most things that you dreamed
Crossed over crossovers and shit on mainstream
I fight for a team whose struggle is real
The future was uncertain as a 360 deal
We delivered the proof and paved our own lane
We took what was ours and gave up the fame
We planted a name and built it to grow
We call it the future, you know it as Smo

Been through the struggle
Paid dues with my life
Cards on the table
It's my game so you better fold
I made this road
My blood, sweat and tears
Pouring like burning liquor
I'm on that new shit
And you'll always be on the old
I paved this road
I made this road
I made this road

Been through the struggle
Yeah I fought with my life
Cards on the table
Yeah I played 'em just right
Whoa

Been through the struggle
Paid dues with my life
Cards on the table
It's my game so you better fold
I made this road
My blood, sweat and tears
Pouring like burning liquor
I'm on that new shit
And you'll always be on the old
I paved this road
I made this road
