Been thru it all been thru it all
Started off broke
Now I'm closing down the mall
Soup is no joke
You can ask the grown folks
Use to be a little dirty nigga
Now I hold dough
Talk about me
Something they forever do
People starting to look guilty
But I never said it's you
Just a few words
That could start up rumors
Now they come from every angle
Like if it's a new merge
Yes I do surge
At everything I approach
How I use words
To paint pictures that I post uh
Don't ever boast nor brag
But I know I'm bad
When I was younger never had
Now I'm getting bags
On stage
Get my fans to engage
You can bet I'm getting paid
In so many different ways yeah
I'm in the shade
From the rays of the sun
On the billboard charts
I am placed number one uh
I done been through it all
With no sympathy
Now they see me in the mall
And remember me
I'mma show you how to ball
Like I'm twenty three
Cause imma entity
You know they envy me uh
I done been through it all
With no sympathy
Now they see me in the mall
And remember me

Graduated from the school
Of hard knocks
Went from being snapped on
To pulling up in droptops uh
I make the block hot
An I'm top notch
In the top spot
I will not stop
You cannot block
Anything
I done slept thru many dreams-l
Now I'm at the podium
Champion with plenty rings yeah
Although it seems
I'm a person
That you never seen
Be cautious when you dealing with me
I am kerosene
Very flammable
They could never handle soup
Even if you stand up to
I'll forever damage you
And that be just how it is, l
Look how I did
Everything they said I wouldn't do
Look how I live
Very luxurious
Serious
The expression on ya face
Telling me you curious-l
Various
Questions I define
Never hold behind
Say what's on ya mind
