Back then I was working no day off
Focused I ain't take drugs
I know my mama raised us
Look what the streets made us
Back then I was working no day off
Focused I ain't take drugs
I know my mama raised us
Look what the streets made us
But look what the streets made us do
Heart breaks and the dangers
Back then I was working ain't got no day off
Made it off my knuckles tell me why they hate us
I thought u was my medicine
Supposed to be my destiny
I thought u was my remedy
My energy
Thought we was meant to be
How we turning enemies
Loving you is my greatest sin
My greatest sin
Did it with no help
U know i ain't got no favors
I don't need no friends
Sorry ain't got no neighbors
Blood sweat and tears
See heavy labors
Calculations
Dedications
Pains and medications
Back then I was working no day off
Focused I ain't take drugs
I know my mama raised us
Look what the streets made us
Back then I was working no day off
Focused I ain't take drugs
I know my mama raised us
Look what the streets made us
Look what the street made us
U know I came from Lagos
Where the police chase us
Kill us
Frame us
Young niggas moving dangerous
It's hard being famous
I Don't wanna see my mama cry so I've been on low
I don't wanna die so I've been on the lock
Living like I've been here before
Watching on the clock
Back then I was working no day off
Focused I ain't take drugs
I know my mama raised us
Look what the streets made us
As a single mother
She was tryna get it done
Me and my little sister
Pops was never coming home
So I had to buckle up
Yeah I had to get it done
U know I had to get involve
Mistakes and dirty thoughts
Thank God I ain't giving up
She finally get it done
No days off
No handouts
No favors
Dark days
But I ain't gave up
This what I am made of
Heavy on this paper chasing
Niggas wanna compete but I ain't racing
Back then I was working no day off
Focused I ain't take drugs
I know my mama raised us
Look what the streets made us
Back then I was working no day off
Focused I ain't take drugs
I know my mama raised us
Look what the streets made us
Back then I was working i ain't got no favors
Focused I ain't take drugs
I know my mama raised us
But look what the streets made us do
Heart breaks and the dangers
Back then I was working ain't got no day off
Made it off my knuckles tell me why they us
