Yeah, aye Teekay Othello in this business... (Teekay!) All up in my bag, man they getting nosy Pictures with the flash, got 'em looking rosy Rocks on my wrist, I ain't talking Rollies I'm popping with the crystals, if you know, you know me Thinking how I used to roll, I'm talking old me I'm writing out my story, you know it's unfolding Don't ever give it up is what my circle told me I'm fucking with the realest, cause you know the realest hold me down Thinking 'bout my journey when I had to leave town Had to stay strong, I had nobody else around Now I'm planning on these new riches Truest story in my lyrics I'm a king, better show me that crown Said I'm winning They brought me down but you know I get up from the ground Said I get it I'm where I'm meant to be, passion is all that I've found Said I won't give up I'mma live it up Through the smoke I'mma rise above Said I won't give up I'mma live it up Through the smoke I'mma rise above Yeah, yeah Wake up at 4 AM just to get my grind on Dreaming of my dreams all day and night long Traitors told me lies and I let 'em lead me on Told me I won't make it if I don't flip my sound Tried to mold me into gold when I'm a diamond charm Almost lost myself tryna fit in with the crowd Gave all of what I had, I was never good enough People dropped me like I was a burden all along Remember when they said I'd never make it out of town Tried to stay strong when the comments would get loud Was hard to do at first, but now I shut them out And now I'm sticking with the real ones Said I'm winning They got me down but you know I get up from the ground Said I get it I'm where I'm meant to be, passion is all that I've found Said I won't give up I'mma live it up Through the smoke I'mma rise above Embracing problems I'm facing Attracting the good shit There's nothing they could do To get to me I know I'm escaping The ones that are toxic I'm breaking through things They think of me Said I'm winning They brought me down but you know I get up from the ground Said I get it I'm where I'm meant to be, passion is all that I've found Said I won't give up I'mma live it up Through the smoke I'mma rise above Said I'm winning They got me down but you know I get up from the ground Said I get it I'm where I'm meant to be, passion is all that I've found Said I won't give up I'mma live it up Through the smoke I'mma rise above
