This is the story of rap, riches and glory
I came from nothing
I never knew winning was for me until
Never had love but I had heart
We still did it from the damn start
When you're living in hell need a gas mask
Just to exhale all the fumes of your bad past
Yeah. They want me dead I'm so alive
Ironic how death's got me feeling so alive
I kinda had to be Muhammad on the mic
Cause when reality hits it's like Tyson in his prime
I want Mayweather money. I want Mayweather money
Cause we spent days in the gully
Cars are full of youts and cartels
I was raised in fuckery and now I get paid for the fuckery. (Um)
My cousin he just phoned me up for 5 bills
And even though the rents more than 5 bills
I can still go and lend him the 5 bills
Cause I make money off ideas that's ideal
Yeah
But for the yout's them though, we don't wanna lose no hope
Oh no no no
They say knowledge is power, you don't wanna know
What we had to go through, did it for the dough
Make money, take money
Ballin' on a budget why you tryna fake money
Popcaan in the party tryna get this Drake money
And patience is a virtue, they don't wanna wait for me though
You can stan' up, you can stan' up
No matter what they tell you, you can stan' up
Ima turn up on you, you ain't tun' up
Gun fingers in the air cah the youts them are gunners
You can stan' up, you can stan' up
No matter what they tell you, you can stan' up
Ima turn up on you, you ain't tun' up
Gun fingers in the air cah the youts them are gunners
I don't promote that
New song, I tell my PR "promote that"
Cause I ain't under control, I'm remote fam
Even though I'm on telly I just wish I could show my old man
Yeah. I show my momma though
And she don't love my songs but I love her though
Yeah yeah
Been places I didn't wanna go
From late nights in the 15 I've been on a roll
And now they wanna roll with me
When I'm going in they don't wanna go with me
Never crack under pressure though I know nitty
Made dirty money with some bad boys no Diddy
Stop phoning me I'm tryna answer my calling
I stay woke I don't know what the morning is
Yeah
But for the yout's them though, we don't wanna lose no hope
Oh no no no
They say knowledge is power, you don't wanna know
What we had to go through, did it for the dough
Make money, take money
Ballin' on a budget why you tryna fake money
Popcaan in the party tryna get this Drake money
And patience is a virtue, they don't wanna wait for me though
You can stan' up, you can stan' up
No matter what they tell you, you can stan' up
Ima turn up on you, you ain't tun' up
Gun fingers in the air cah the youts them are gunners
You can stan' up, you can stan' up
No matter what they tell you, you can stan' up
Ima turn up on you, you ain't tun' up
Gun fingers in the air cah the youts them are gunners
The hustle comes separately it's not provided
It's probably why them kids can't stop the violence
We both got dots on either side of this line
Cause it's real hard time when your block's divided
We got bills to be paid and beef on our estates
Every other day we got police on our case
So if a chance comes you better seize the opportunity
Cause most of us grew up in a planet full of apes
Call that Clangers [?], tryna send a boy to space
Or hell, take him outta this world
When you're writing your will, are you tryna leave that buss down car here for your girl
What the fuck is the deal?
Invest it into yourself, have faith in your craft
Cause we're the same kids that made change off of plants
The struggle's in our nature, we just gotta learn to use the rules that they gave us and know when to break them
Non of the youts them are runners
All of them are their own bosses, they've got runners
You can't tell me about no losses, I've lost loved ones
Couldn't count on nobody, now I do numbers
Now I do numbers. I'll do numbers till I'm humongousBig enough to help the notorious, they just hustling
I ain't ready to die for no reason
If you kill me I'll die but that's treason ey
You can stan' up, you can stan' up
No matter what they tell you, you can stan' up
Ima turn up on you, you ain't tun' up
Gun fingers in the air cah the youts them are gunners
You can stan' up, you can stan' up
No matter what they tell you, you can stan' up
Praise to the most high
Room full of smoke, I'm the most high
Visionary, had to go blind
All these dope lines came up off of dopelines
They want me ridin' on my enemies
But I'm ridin' to the NME's
Jeopardiser, that's a Jeopardy
No bad energy
Man, I feel amazing
I'm just tryna turn all this space into a spaceship
All I ever wanted was the Merc with the facelift
Now I'm tryna go one better than greatness yeah
In my life till death do us part if you're in my life
Yeah
We're royal, royal
Yeah
We're royal, royal
Yeah
We're royal, royal
