[Verse 1]
Yes I've been walking down a long road
Somebody told me that it's all gold
But still I sing the blues like I never got to choose
You'll never be somebody until somebody wants to be you
That's kind of crazy when you think about it
I swear I want it, so I dream about it
Because I just want to get it
As simple as I said it
A life long dream trying to get to where I'm headed
I'm staring at the top while I'm fighting with the bottom half
Grab up in the bucket saying "Fuck it, I just want a chance"
I wish I saved but I never do
Blowing money like it's got coke residue
So to the indrustry and who I wrote my letters to
I hope that when you find me, you find a better you

[Hook]
We just want to make it to the top
Never be somebody that I'm not
I don't care about your money
Because you ain't taking nothing from me
Momma said "Everyday's like this"
When it's "So what?" and you feeling like shit
Well it's one thing I ain't never going to quit
I ain't never going to quit

[Verse 2]
I said I swear that it's my time though
Because I been feeling in my prime hoe
Black hoodie, smoking loud, got my eyes low
And I ain't killed the game yet, I set my sights on
Label meetings, I don't even feel the need to tweet it
I'm from a small town, boy, I never be conceited
Went to church, only dreaming about them Jesus pieces
I never had it like they had it, now I see the reasons
And I've been extra patient
My team is motivated
I seen some others make it
You never saw me hate it
Nah, because I've been looking at the positive
Too much weight up on the bridge, something's gotta give
Christmas Eve, all these bitches know I've got to give
Ghetto flow, let it blow
Nobody hot as this
Nah, there ain't nobody hot as this

[Bridge]
I never take the hate up out of context
Because maybe I just ain't the one that's on next
And I've been losing all my dogs, where they going to fetch
While I'm thinking what's a king without a conquest
I'll never be someone I'm not
Feeling like Mike when them lights got hot
And I be doing me, I don't do a lot of sippin'
I do it for my team, even Jordan needed Pippen

[Hook]
We just want to make it to the top
Never be somebody that I'm not
I don't care about your money
Because you ain't taking nothing from me
Momma said "Everyday's like this"
When it's "So what?" and you feeling like shit
Well it's one thing I ain't never going to quit
I ain't never going to quit

[Outro]
Early in the morning
See the sun rising
Trying to meet somebody
Living and we're dying
And it's, hard work trying to make it to the finish line
And I ain't giving up yet
Trying to improvise
You can hate or you can love it
Oh, you can hate or you can love it
