My mama said she grab a Bible when she pray for her seed

You don't do flawed shit when you raised by real G's

I knew how to hustle 'fore I knew how to read

They said I couldn't, that's the only motivation I need

I could sell it, but this game I give free

They can't evict you when it's your name on the deed

Find a hustle, put your money up

Corporate America, they don't like me, I ain't dumb enough

I needed cash, got that advance and made it double up

I know they wanna see me fall off, fuck it up

You can live your dream life

You can raise some kids that can say they never seen white

I promise you can make it too

You can make a million dollars cash

you looking at the proof

Young nigga from the slums

don't look like what I made it through

You ain't gotta be a bum 'cause niggas tryna make it cool

These kids don't think they can rap, get a deal

I go back to the city just to show 'em it's real

These kids don't think they can drive in a Lamb'

I go back to the schools just to show 'em they can

These kids really think they trapped in the hood

That's the only reason I go back to the hood

These kids don't believe nothing they don't see

That's why I go back and show 'em they can be me

I really seen people make it, that's what changed me

I walk into schools and say I made it out these same seats

Yeah, I had to work a job, none of this shit ain't free

Used to warm the crib but with the oven, ain't have A C

I ain't no different than you

we went through the same thing

You can be a mayor, kid, they elected Dave Bing

I grew up kinda lame, now my name ring

You can do the same thing

They ask me if I could, what would I tell my younger self?

I'll tell him, "Chase dreams"

These kids don't think they can rap, get a deal

I go back to the city just to show 'em it's real

These kids don't think they can drive in a Lamb'

I go back to the schools just to show 'em they can

These kids really think they trapped in the hood

That's the only reason I go back to the hood

These kids don't believe nothing they don't see

That's why I go back and show 'em they can be me
