[Intro]
Uh, oooooooo
[Chorus]
I was out on my own
Still remember nobody reached out
Can't control my life
You ain't see me back then, don't speak now
You can get out my face tryna preach now
Heard the beat and my soul it reached out
Let me live my life the me route
Chasing paper what we bout yeah
[Verse]
Before I even started rapping
I was out here tryna get it
16 hours for the payroll
Trying to find a way to live it
I'm addicted to the hustle
Cause I remember when we struggled
Tryna make it to the good life
Elevated from the puddle
My Og told me be a leader
If she don't love me I don't need her
Ain't no time for me to waste time
That can put you on the bleachers
Keep your eyes up on your paper
That's what I learned from my Teachers
Can't fall victim to statistics
All the realest niggas need us
I know I gotta hold it down
That's why I always call my sister
Just to make sure that you're focused
And ain't nobody playing with ya
Can't forget about my brother
You spoiled boy you know I love ya
I dare somebody try to touch ya
Cause in the end we got each other
Yeah
[Chorus]
I was out on my own
Still remember nobody reached out
Can't control my life
You ain't see me back then, don't speak now
You can get out my face tryna preach now
Heard the beat and my soul it reached out
Let me live my life the me route
Chasing paper what we bout yeah
