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 f**g 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
