See me come up from nothing
I done been to the bottom
Headed straight to the top
Look how I ride for the block
Look how I rep for the hood
I get nothing but love now
When I come through the hood
Getting this fortune and fame
Money make all of us change
The new benz is all white
How the hell could you stop me?
Why in the world would you try?
That′s just how I'm designed
That's just how I was built
You take all of this from me
And I′m still gon′ survive
But these rappers gon' lie
I′m a part of these streets
Mad that I finally done made it
Take a look and you can tell
That I'm destined for greatness
Ya′ll quickly to judge me
Put your foot in my Nikes
Picture you livin' my life
Picture you stuck in a cell
Picture you wasting your life
Picture you facing a charge
Picture you beating the odds
Picture you willing to bleed
Picture you wearing the scar
Thank you for making me struggle
Thank you for making me grind
Tell me the world ain′t mine
You've been seein′ me lately
This what the ghetto done made me
When I think that I can′t
All my brothers behind me
Ain't you happy I made it?
That I'm making a statement?
Take a look and you can tell
That I′m destined for greatness
Now if im up in the spot (spot)
Or if im out on the block (block)
I hustle hard cause it′s all the same
And you know that grind don't stop
Just ′cause I rose to the top
And everybody knows my name
Still grindin (still grindin)
Still hustlin (still hustlin)
No more pain (no more pain)
No more sufferin (no more sufferin)
For my ladies and my shorties and my thugs
keep that task, and the shine, and the love
