 Ayo listen close, story time.
 In my youth I was broke felt left behind.
 Can you picture young lad, nine years old.
 It was my birthday wanted to get a present from the store.
 Toys R Us was the spot that we went to.
 I made a fuss cuz I wanted the Nintendo.
 All the fun imma have I carefully planned it.
 We walked out the store, empty handed.
 I was devastated but my pops was worse.
 Saw the shame in his eyes, put his family through hurt.
 The plan immigration destination to success,
 Harder than anticipated causing much stress.
 Hopelessness, what kinda joke is this.
 Getting' sick and tired of being broke as shit.
 I can't explain all the pain that I felt.
 Till hip hop told me to accumulate wealth.

 Thinking of a master plan,
 Cuz ain't nothing but sweat inside my hands.
 So I hit the books hard wanna get my head start.
 If you wanna make bread then you gotta be smart.
 Shannon Park, elementary days.
 Changed my whole life in so many ways.
 I remember lunch time, wasn't a fun time.
 Wanted other people's food while I despised mine.
 They had kool-aid, lunch mate and cheese.
 I had cold stale bread and dried seaweed.
 I tossed my food, Connor Moore said hold up.
 Trade ya seaweed for my fruit roll up.
 I quickly agreed but never understood why.
 He made that offer, got me hella surprised.
 You see my old friend taught a valuable lesson,
 Always keep your head high and share your blessings.

 Its been fourteen years, since that fateful day.
 That reality check on my ninth birthday.
 Now my whole fam's happy and we're living real well.
 Car paid, house paid, vacations and hotels.
 Working full time got my finance degree.
 Keep my queen Elizabeth's flowing in steadily.
 Materialistic, indeed I am.
 But you gotta stack mail, gotta feed your fam.
 Three dandelions tattooed on my stomach,
 The gravel and the dirt, yeah I came from it.
 Never forget my past humble beginnings,
 Persevere through fear, and now we're winning.
 Survivors with dreams that's who we are.
 Long as I got this ink, I shall never starve.
 It matters not what tragedies occur,
 Dandelions Grow and blossom for sure.
