So it seemed like yesterday, I was eating ramen noodles off a plaster plate

I really was, anyway, that's a game my brother dreamed five years a day

Hurt to see his tear in his face, cause I gotta feel it play

Then the streets need me, my son need me more Gotta give it all I got, ain't have no other

Tryna make it to the top, we from the bottom, we was low

I need some more, I need some more, I need some more, I need some more

The register, I was cursed and I was gifted at the same time

I was hurting, I was injured, but I stayed down

For a quarter, two minutes, I can't waste time

Niggas dying before 24 in my wage line

Cause I gotta be here for my son and daughters

Don't ever want them to go through what I've been through

Reminiscing when times was harder

When you had no light in the apartment, just a baby with boiling water

Longing to kiss, hey, I was fine with starving

Do you know the feeling when your mama asking you to help with the bills

But you can't help her for real, but you still get what you give

I got problems locked up doing bids, some doing life and some got a few years

Can't go to visit, it hurts just to see them, I do all I can so they feel

Then the streets need me, my son need me more Gotta give it all I got, ain't have no other

Tryna make it to the top, we from the bottom, we was poor

I need some more, I need some more, yeah

I said the streets need me, my son need me more

Gotta give it all I got, ain't have no other

Tryna make it to the top, we from the bottom, we was poor

I need some more, I need some more, yeah

I got my money the harder way, baby mama tryna take my little boy away

Man, you know what it was when you went this way

I got too many problems, I'm saving face

I got too many lawyers for burning cases

I'ma get to the lane, I've been buying cases

I've been going too hard, got these niggas hating

Bought a brand new AP, got a friend one day

Me, I keep fucking with her, I guess I can shake it

I be gotting in my lane when these niggas take me

Keep it real even though I know they was faking

Hold they nuts on me, they didn't want me to make it

Keep them young niggas with me, they still be taking

Thanking God that he better my situation

I can't wait to pull up and see niggas face

I can't go back to the base

Then the streets need me, my son need me more

Gotta give it all I got, ain't have no other

Tryna make it to the top, we from the bottom

We was poor, I need some more

I need some more, yeah

Then the streets need me, my son need me more

Gotta give it all I got, ain't have no other choice

Tryna make it to the top, we from the bottom

We was poor, I need some more

I need some more, yeah

Then the streets need me

Then the streets need me

From the bottom we was poor, I need some more

I need some more, yeah

Then the streets need me

Then the streets need me

From the bottom we was poor

I need some more, yeah
