[Chorus]
I couldn’t stay at the bottom
I made the plays to get through
I stayed away from the drama
I stayed up late when they snoozed
I use pray ‘way my problems
I was afraid I would lose
Then I put problems aside and I made a way for the moves
I used to feel like shit was a dub but nigga I’m up now
I used to feel I wouldn’t be something but now they wanna fuck with me
I used to feel like shit was a dub but nigga I’m up now
Told my niggas, for real they touching a mil’ long as they stuck with me
[Post-Chorus]
I can’t go back
To what I was
[Verse]
Bench warmer player, I work harder now
40 minute games, I’m a starter now
Blue Ivy’s in my wallet, I’m a Carter now
Cartograph the route, see the proof in the roof
Hardly leave the stu’
I don’t do the relaxing
Niggas “off the wall” like a booth full Jackson
Fuck Tom Hanks ‘cause I’m truthfully captain
Fuck my bank, I done moved up the bracket
Sun roof down so the rays hit the melanin
Spun through town trying to bathe in the element
Jump through round, getting raised like a pelican
Zion Will, pray my eyes don’t fill
Pray my fam’ stay alive and my shawty don’t stress
Pray my guys don’t die, never take last breaths
We been down so long, we deserve to see a check
‘Cause we up now
[Bridge]
We been down so long, we deserve to see a check ‘cause we up now
We been down so long, we deserve to see a check ‘cause we up now
We been down so long, we deserve to see a check ‘cause we up now
[Chorus]
Ay, I couldn’t stay at the bottom
I made the plays to get through
I stayed away from the drama
I stayed up late when they snoozed
I use pray ‘way my problems
I was afraid I would lose
Then I put problems aside and I made a way for the moves
I used to feel like shit was a dub but nigga I’m up now
I used to feel I wouldn’t be something but now they wanna fuck with me
I used to feel like shit was a dub but nigga I’m up now
Told my niggas, for real they touching a mil’ long as they stuck with me
[Post-Chorus]
I can’t go back
To what I was
I couldn’t stay at the bottom
I made the plays to get through
I stayed away from the drama
I stayed up late when they snoozed
I use pray ‘way my problems
I was afraid I would lose
Then I put problems aside and I made a way for the moves
I used to feel like shit was a dub but nigga I’m up now
I used to feel I wouldn’t be something but now they wanna fuck with me
I used to feel like shit was a dub but nigga I’m up now
Told my niggas, for real they touching a mil’ long as they stuck with me
[Post-Chorus]
I can’t go back
To what I was
[Verse]
Bench warmer player, I work harder now
