[Intro]

[Verse 1: Debolik]

Yo I used to screw around when I was young
Messing with the homies, dissing phony bitches
Just because I knew that I was lonely
I needed somebody to show me life was different
Than the way that I was seeing it
Went home and how typical
Every time that I got out of school
Id feel self conscious cause people always ridiculed
Me for having two to three T shirts in my closet
My family was struggling, the troubles they were doubling
Little brother's shaking having seizures
Family in and out the hospital
They used to wonder what made me react so hostile yo
I needed friends I needed ends
I needed to help my dad out to cover these expense-es
But I'm a Mexican see its hard to get paid
Plus I was only in the family business
Thinking bout bitches and getting laid
Typical teenager kept my faith in my savior
Keeping my head up smiling through all of the bullshit
"gangstas" starting shit made me wanna run up in the school with a full clip
But I'm way better than that
Ill just take my struggles out on rap
Teachers bitching at me over homework
HA! if they only knew how my home worked
Still though, I gotta stay focused
Wanna drive around in a fancy lotus not a beat up ford focus
So just back up and watch me
Get my raps up like im boxing leaving tracks in coffins
If I keep this up I know the money's gon start talking
Shit soon you'll all be jocking
[Hook: Debolik]
I used to have almost nothing
Nobody used to like me
But im so close to having everything

[Verse 2: Debolik]

I was just a sophomore trying to impress some chick I used to adore
Nah but really see I was crushing and that shit was kinda new
See i'd always start blushing
If she only knew
Of course she did, who didn't?
But it was kind of pathetic the way that I was living
See she wasn't the only one that wasn't giving me
The phone G or wouldn't phone me I wasn't on see
That was during a time I didn't have game
Just a sucker for love that would endure pain
Couldn't be in the picture, wasn't even in the frame
But my brain said "fuck that then! all these chicks are the same"
My boys' Kali and Cj made me leave boyfriends ashamed
Then 2 years later I met a girl named Betsy
Damn so lets see
This girls pretty sexy plus now I'm a mac
And she was with it but for me see she wasn't whack
She was attracted not cause I was attractive
I wasn't even in shape and I still ain't
That's what made the love feel so great
It only takes some faith and patience to make it past all of the pain and anguish
Damn its dangerous to give up
God gave us all a life to live up
Stop looking down on you and keep your shit up
Get rid of those insecurities, all the self consciousness
Just be confident and happy stop the slacking
There's no need to be acting like you're something you're not
I looked up at the sun and said someday I'll be hotter
And whoever's hating now is obviously feeling bothered
[Hook]

[Verse 3: Debolik]

Yo if I keep this up someday I'll be king
I'll be Muhammad Ali knocking anybody down in the ring
I want everything, the fame the money shit
I already got my honey
I ain't greedy but I just dont want my family to feel needy
Do you feel me? really? you know what it's like
To get tired of riding around in the same old bike
So you spray paint it black and it looks so sick
But hating ass fools gotta act like dicks
But I kept at it, now they're all on my flow
Asking "How the hell are you now getting shows?"
"Let's collabo even though I treated you so cold"
Really dude? cause that shit's just so homo
You should have known I've always had spirit!
Wouldn't let nobody steer it down
Can't let my enemies see me frown
That ain't how I get down
I gotta let my heart make it's sound
Listen, isn't this shit so profound

[Outro]
