i remember being broke sleeping on the couch
told myself i'll make it out
i had a big dream and i had to hold it down
all these people came around
i did this by myself so keep my name up out your mouth
you can't tell me nothing
i don't even want the clout
i do it for the passion and i say what i'm about
i'll tell you when i'm happy and i'll tell you when i'm down
i'mma keep it real until the day i'm in the ground
always smoking by the pound
we getting richer and that's the word that goes around
