Cracked phone screen but I still made the call
No fixed address just a name on the wall
Empty fridge hummin like a funeral song
Two dollar dreams and the nights way too long
Slept on the floor with a hoodie as a pillow
Window wide open just to feel the cold billow
Momma worked doubles I studied the hustle
Traded my sneakers for a shot at the muscle
No lights in the hallway the shadows stayed close
Counting loose change just to buy me some hope
Walked through the city with holes in my sole
Every step heavy like a debt unpaid toll
Wrote on a napkinI'll own this whole block
Now I pull up where the whole city stops
From rags to riches and beyondthat's the anthem
Pockets too heavy now the bankscan't hold em
Throwing racks like confetti the crew go wild
Came from the dirt now we ridin in style
From rags to riches and beyond no pretendin
CoupleM's deep and the wire still pendin
Drinks on me till the whole room spin
Zero to hundred let the real life begin
Six AM grind with the sun barely breathing
Studio locked every loss had a reason
Flipped every dollar like a trick on the pavement
Now I sign checks likeit's bad behavior
Neck full of ice but the scars underneath
Took a couple Ls just to sharpen the teeth
Mansion too cold so I sleep in the guest room
Still hear the hunger echo in the empty bedroom
Top floor suite where the glass never smudges
Came with the wolves Idon't deal with the judges
From hand me down shirts to tailored suits
Same kid still wild just polished the boots
Neighbors used to whisper now they ask for the pass
Funny how the money turn a ghost to a magnate
Pourin champagne on the memories of broke days
Bought my mom a crib and she cried for three days
Executive calls andI'm still pullin all nighters
Paper chasin till the legacy get wider
From rags to riches and beyondthat's the anthem
Pockets too heavy now the bankscan't hold em
Throwing racks like confetti the crew go wild
Came from the dirt now we ridin in style
From rags to riches and beyond no pretendin
CoupleM's deep and the wire still pendin
Drinks on me till the whole room spin
Zero to hundred let the real life begin
