hope you can see my vision
came from the gritty no lavish life
came from a city with no flashing lights
and where your casket might drops outta sight
and where niggas keep them guns singing out gladys knight
without the sacrifice i wouldn't be here though
tours going throughout the year so
lemme introduce you to the new improved
so ahead of the class might as well skip school
got them amazed on instrumental
instant classic for you pass my intro
tell her get in so we can get ghost
she can tell i got finesse from the way the pen strokes ya
story that i been through
pages you can flip through
first album's alive and ever since then
i been one step ahead of the game like stairs
my influence hopefully inspires some peeps
getting everything i dreamed for
still on a million-dollar grind
hustle til the sun don't shine
still hustling when the sunrise
he trying to kill him every time
to grow into a better life
i'm standing here fist up ready to fight
experience is the blueprint to life
so i got my new back dropper
cash in my pocket so my pants look lopside
see the car drive by fast
not caring where the cops are
why these diamonds glaring like a cop car
i'm trying to be a rocker
on this elevator trying to make it to the top floor
nigga now you showing out
cause i'm so better than that shit
it's funny how i mastered
these other call it advanced
nigga pete rock and my miss careme whigs
wish my nigga proof was living to see this
wish that nigga dilla could hear this new shit
only god knows where this rollercoaster ride goes
but reaching those dreams the only thing i know
still on a million-dollar grind
hustle til the sun don't shine
still hustling when the sunrise
he trying to kill him every time
to grow into a better life
i'm standing here fist up ready to fight
experience is the blueprint to life
came through to hold me down
we been here for a minute
