(Uh, break it down)
(Uh, break it down), (Break it down)
(Uh, break it down)
(Uh, break it down), (Break it down)
I made a beat in my spare time, made a couple dimes
Some heaters and greeters I stashed like it was a crime (Like a crime)
Like most kids, all I did was dream big, dream loud
Something I had to do, to make my mom real proud
Dream bigger was no longer in my avenue
All I want is three figures, something that I gotta do
(I've been praised for my sound)
Thank you but I could do better
I just really need this cheddar
Go through ever single letter
I gotta be the odd one out
Don't know what these expectations all about
But I know I'm finna make it
I know I'm gonna make it, gonna make it, make it, Finna
I know I'm gonna make it, I know I'm finna make it
I know I'm gonna make it, gonna make it, make it, Finna
I know I'm gonna make it, I know I'm finna make it
School was just another day, till in the fourth grade
I did another year, covered my ears and drowned in tears
I never wanted to believe it
Real talk I had level sevens all the way
I had no idea why my momma wanted me to stay
I prayed and prayed that this day would go away
I hoped it was a dream and I woke up to a new day
I had no friends, there was no family
Model C school, people didn't wanna stand with me
Till I met the OGs, treated me like family
People that were my age, endless possibilities
New day, new dawn, I tell you now
I felt Reborn
I know I'm gonna make it, gonna make it, make it, Finna
I know I'm gonna make it, I know I'm finna make it
I know I'm gonna make it, gonna make it, make it, Finna
I know I'm gonna make it, I know I'm finna make it
My neighborhood still not on the map, (that's how they wanted it)
They made a majority feel like a foreign minority
Effects of a broken system affects us till this day
They want us to forget it and hope we go away
Drinking out of stand pipes (yeah)
Cooking on a gaslight (nah)
Walking on the blacktop (yeah)
There wasn't even pavement (nah)
Because I'm a youngin people think all I make is statements
There's nothing I can do, the government won't do it either
I'm just making you aware so you know people going through it
Its surprising how much ignorance can separate a whole nation
Whoever said it was bliss started the devastation
Please Lord help us and lead us not into temptation
