| It was just a dream, me and Dike had a vision |
| Mouse was on deck when I stepped outta prison |
| 80 saw the hunger, told me he was with it |
| Came up with a plan that would get us out the kitchen |
| Nigga we gon get, mind on them millions |
| We gon Hustle Hard, I was rapping what we living |
| Hustle cause we had to, on Gates Avenue |
| Riding round tryna put I’m go in a Bag too |
| Baby mama yelling I was in and out the hood |
| I was on parole, I was new to fatherhood |
| Tryna see further, friends getting murdered |
| Tryna find a way out, streets getting worser |
| All Black Lex with the 22 Tec |
| Drugs in the car and I didn’t feel blessed |
| Tell you no lie, I was rapping bout my life |
| Street niggas felt me, they know I talked about my life |
| I was just like them, selling coke like them |
| Dope and a pistol in my coat like them |
| Feeling lost, tryna find hope like them |
| Fuck them other rappers, I was nothing like them |
| (I was nothing like them) |
| I was just doing me |
| The world seen me first on a SMACK DVD |
| Dike went to jail, Mouse had 5 |
| Me and 80 left but the movement was alive |
| Then we met Jean a we thought we was on |
| Thats when Lil Kim made us feel right at home |
| Flights on a PJ, nights in Miami |
| A year ago I was in the street with the candy |
| Riding with the Ruger, still hearing Rumors |
| TrackMaster Tone signed me off of Rumors |
| He say, she say, freestyle on Kay Slay |
| Stack Bundles told me, yeah you doing it the G way |
| Tone raped the budget, wish I known better |
| Universal dropped me, wish I done better |
| Felt like a failure, back in the hood |
| Me and Moe Dog had pounds of the Good |
| A nigga tried to rob me in a store, I was done |
| Took the joint from him, shot him with his own gun |
| 80 called 50, 50 called Craig |
| Jean set the meeting, Atlantic, I was saved |
| Me and Kim start sleeping, whole vibe changed |
| Dropped Hi Hater, made the whole country wave |
| Me and shorty stopped speaking, I was petty yo |
| I was mad that she wasn’t in my video |
| Told me she was pregnant, ain’t want no camera time |
| How the fuck her and Charli pregnant at the same time |
| Lord please forgive me, you ain’t listen to my prayers |
| Cops shot 80, put him in a wheelchair |
| Had to keep going, me and T-Pain hit |
| Summer Jam Stage, Million Bucks with Swizz |
| Money came fast, still felt lost |
| Cop my first Bentley then bought another one |
| Partying and bullshit, it was all fun |
| Stuntin on these niggas, went and got another one |
| Couple million sold, thought that I was all good |
| Pulled up on the block, brought a plaque to thehood |
| Then they flipped on me, really switched up on me |
| Jean changed up, man he turned his back on me |
| Turned his back on me, love must’ve been fake |
| I was hurt when I seen him, got’em punched in his face |
| Made a big mistake thinking niggas could be friends |
| They act like they wanna see you shine, see you win |
| But secretly they wanna see a nigga slide back yo |
| Herbie please don’t let these niggas send us back yo |
| Came too far just to throw it all away |
| Got a daughter to protect, can’t let my son go astray |
| Voices in my head screaming Main keep pushing |
| Been around the world but still keep it all Brooklyn |
| Pain come with life, many lessons that I learnt |
| On the wrong road, many bridges that I burnt |
| Fuck the industry, they owe me more |
| Came back to get it, K.O.B 4! |
