[English]

See, this exactly how it was

We was up

Oh, we was up, yeah

And somehow this shit got rough, yeah

Should I give up?

I can't give up, nawl

Man, I swear I can't make this up, yeah

I can feel it in the air

When shit was real, you wasn't there

And they talking 'bout I switched up, yeah

See, I was real like everywhere

They know it's real when I'm in there, yeah, yeah

A lot of pain in my heart

A lot of scars, I'm so scarred

If I start, I'mma finish

Gotta finish what I started

See, I was young, I ain't listen

They told me don't, I still did it

See, I was chasing after money

I had a lot of ambition

See, my intentions was to get it

Hate losing, gotta start winning

Hustle hard every minute
