Yeah, I'm climbing through the ranks of life, these niggas can't knock me down (Yeah)
Been doing all I can, I love my baby, can't see her frown
Cause she the only one that save me when I start to drown (Uh-huh)
And she the only one that's real when the fakes around (For real)
Just keep your eye out for the snakes cause they gon' bring you down (They will)
Graduated from the streets with a cap and gown (Yeah)
Never been a dummy, just getting money, all these niggas clowns
Load the Kel-Tec up, big titty clip, a hundred rounds (Brtt-ah)
Just stack your cash everyday and keep the fakes away (Yeah)
Got people looking up, I know I gotta pave a way (I do)
Thinking bout the days I was lost, almost went astray (Man)
Life came crashing down all on me, so much disarray
Fell down to my knees, kept asking God just make a way
My life was losing colors, everything was turning gray (Gray)
Made some changes, went through phases, so many different faces (Uh-huh)
Had to tighten up my life like a pair of braces
Had to tighten up my life like a pair of laces
I know your life been getting tough but you gon' make it (You got it)
Ain't no point in trying to escape it cause you gotta face it
Even if you gotta fake it, just know you gon' make it (Yeah)
20 years old, I seen it all for sure (Uh-huh)
The women, the people, everything just getting old
I'm at a new chapter in life, gotta take control
Won't let the demons get my soul and I know that's for sure
Yeah, I'm climbing through the ranks of life, these niggas can't knock me down (Yeah)
Been doing all I can, I love my baby, can't see her frown
Cause she the only one that save me when I start to drown (Uh-huh)
And she the only one that's real when the fakes around (For real)
Just keep your eye out for the snakes cause they gon' bring you down (They will)
Graduated from the streets with a cap and gown (Yeah)
Never been a dummy, just getting money, all these niggas clowns
Load the Kel-Tec up, big titty clip, a hundred rounds (Brtt-ah)
