Came Up

Look how I came up
 This how I came up
 I can't forget about the life
 I started with
 Survival of the fittest
 Aint never call the quits
 Doing better than I was
 Hard times had me bent
 Now I'm on the other side
 Who would of ever thought of this
 Remember sleeping ona floor
 Still got my back stiff
 Now I'm laying on a king
 Automatic back lift
 And the struggle was for Real
 You can check my fact list
 I was lost in this world
 Couldn't tell you where my dad went
 Use to have too much pride
 To work a nine to five shift
 Now I'm really getting fixed
 Yeah I got my benefits
 Shoulda listened to my moma
 Prolly coulda been legit
 Everything she use to say today
 Is the realest ish
 Take it back man
 I really didn't have no pot to piss
 Poverty piss me off
 We was less fortunate
 Thank god for the churches and Shelters for helping when
 We was at our lowest point
 Now I know it never ends
 My story is untold
 The unknown barely can win
 Don't care about what you think
 Reality's in my skin
 This that life that chose me
 I'm dealing with all the sin
 And I wouldn't change nothing
 I'll do it all again
 Look how I came up
 I'm not ashamed about it
 I tell the truth
 How I came up
 Put a lil more unff into it
 Alright
 Hili
 This how I came up
 Milwaukee county raised up
 Yeah I'm from the inner-city
 Where they let them thangs bust
 Ain't nothing change
 You can check the news
 And see the same stuff
 I got love for my people but they think I changed up
 I gotta family now
 I took my family out
 From nothing to something
 Just shake my hand and be proud
 I'm on a whole nother level
 You see the man in me now
 When I was failing
 All I got was projection and doubt
 I ain't pass the eight grade
 What can they say to me now
 I finished college
 But they want me to dumb it down
 I follow my gut
 I know what wasting time about
 I couldn't see myself 40
 On my moma couch
 Dwelling on the past
 I'm living in my future now
 It's hard enough for black brothers
 When they count us out
 This is the life that chose me
 Been dealing with all the sin
 And I wouldn't change a thing
 I'll go through it all again
 This how I came up
 I ain't gotta lie about it
 Yeah man this how I came up
 Word for word this is real
 Don't be hating how I came up
 I can't let um tell my story
 Cause I know how I came up
 Facts yeah this how I came up
