[Verse 1: Cash Kidd]
Cruising through the hood, reminiscing 'bout the good days
Egging up houses, run home before the hood came
Bunch of young boys, in the street having a foot race
Only thing in life they worry 'bout is getting good grades
Middle school, hopped off the porch like what's happening?
Shit, I'm tryna shoot some dice, after basketball practice
Oldhead down the street, he be fresher than a bitch
New kicks, new whip, I wonder how he do that shit
Fast forward, now I'm in the real world living
Grown as hell, time to strap my nuts on and go get it
Tryna live like the oldhead down the street was living
Tryna make a couple bands, tryna fuck a couple bitches
Mama unemployed, sister paying all the bills
Couldn't help, 'cause I was broke, how you think that made me feel?
Fuck that, had to grind, got it out the mud for real
I was seeing thousands, but now, shit, I'm tryna touch a mill
That's real

[Chorus: Motown Ty]
If only they knew
If only they knew
What I've been through to get here
If only they knew
If only they knew
Y'all n***as couldn't end my life
Y'all n***as couldn't end my life
[Verse 2: Cash Kidd]
All these young n***as' priorities fucked up
Broke as hell, but still chasing hoes, that ain't what's up
These bitches can wait, better go and get your paper, boy
'Cause when you on, dawg, they gon' chase you like the paper boy
Every n***a you see with me, I grew up with them
Couple new n***as tryna be down, but I don't trust n***as
Except Mel, [?] I fuck with them
Found a group of wild royal n***as, and I stuck with them
N***as hit my line, like what's good? What's on the floor?
But if I ain't with my bitch, I'm at the stu or at a show
Been ran through these hoes, now I'm through, that shit is old
Busy getting to the money, eating good with all my bros
Still [?] free him asap
[?] seeing him, everywhere you see my face at
R.I.P. Jeff, I wish I never had to say that
Free all my n***as locked, I wish that I could take it way back

[Chorus: Motown Ty]
If only they knew
If only they knew
What I've been through to get here
If only they knew
If only they knew
Y'all n***as couldn't end my life
Y'all n***as couldn't end my life
[Verse 3: Cash Kidd]
Don't let nobody slow you down, make you walk in a race
That ain't gon' get you nowhere, like if you jogging in place
Grind hard, pray harder, stack it all in the safe
On the road to riches, I feel like a car with no brakes
When I was down, you had [?] n***a all in your face
But now I'm on, you blowing up my line and calling me fake
[?] 'cause this money real and my fam good
Came a long way from eating dinner out of canned goods
Did it on my own, I'm the man, now I'm eating
No handouts was needed, pull a cam out, I'm cheesing
In the mall taking pictures, with my fans while I'm leaving
Stunting on all of my old hoes that left, now they teaming
Darkskin, [?] with bands, you can't beat it
So I know why they choosing, 'cause I flex for no reason
I fucked her and her best friend, now they beefing
I'm the man, can't believe it, shit feel like [?]

[Chorus: Motown Ty]
If only they knew
If only they knew
What I've been through to get here
If only they knew
If only they knew
Y'all n***as couldn't end my life
Y'all n***as couldn't end my life
