[Verse 1: XiØN]
Product of the struggle, only outlet was to hustle
Dealt with early years of pain, had to work it out the muscle
Sore from moving all the weight, aspirations in the duffle
But ambition leads to gains, wasn't one for being subtle
Constant trouble.. misguided youth
I guess I'm living proof
Pelle Pelle shopping when I shoulda stacked to get a coupe
But I was tunnel vision driven, how reckless I was living
Don't care bout being forgiven.. cause what the fuck is the difference?
I еnvision..
The distance from then to now
Ain't worriеd bout who around
Persistence is the key to avoid the crowd
I cut em off like tumors
Don't listen to the rumors
They simply chasing for clout
Post stupid shit like it's humor
Consumers.. trippin bout tariffs
I'm onto different matters
Vaca plans to Paris
I'm chillin'.. so understand this
Still hood but got new habits
If you wait it ain't gon happen
Gotta get it how you live it
Moving bricks helped fill the gaps in
[Hook: Lloyd Banks]
I think it's time we have a celebration for life
Tip your fucking cups to dedication
For paper we could have a conversation
Let's get into it now.. time is wasting
Where's my nomination?
Time feels like it's flying when you're making money
Somebody gon' be dying tryna take it from me
Big moves.. right out of the basement dummy
No matter how much you may get.. just stay hungry

[Verse 2: TopOfDaLyne]
True story.. no cap from the beginning
The feeling.. of being broke
While you relaxing it's like sinning
Remembering..
Dreaming from that project window.. I found religion
If you wasn't down to die to get rich.. you wasn't living
Good kid gone bad.. it happened in a glimpse
From quarter waters to a quarter brick
Chasing them licks
Speed it up.. my pace
Had me moving pounds and ounces like I'm insecure 'bout my weight
Goal driven.. I was wired with no ceilings
GOAT visions.. inspired by dope dealing
Gotta know your limits when you're balling fast
Don't buy a car unless your stash is double.. plus that lawyer bag
Used to be that corner boy on the late nights
Now that hunger for more got my bank right
Aura lenses with the city tint
Ratchet on me like a city chick
Toast to having the city lit

[Verse 3: Lloyd Banks]
Any gap.. I had to pick up the margin
Hell, I come from rags to riches to starving
Drowning pressure, Loud and Liquor ménaging
Massages and four-door garages
His and her closets
Bigger deposits
Lift the lid off the projects
They raise us up to get it regardless
Bigger the drive, the bigger the charges
Minor hiccups won't harm us
The killer's always the one that's the calmest
Run in your concert.. fuck up the sponsors
Tarnish what you accomplished
Monopoly wishes
The paparazzi gets us
Some posse pictures
Champagne and hibachi dishes
Versace slippers.. say something stupid.. I'm blocking n***as
Focus on the shit you got going.. can't stand the pocket lookers
This shit'll last through generations
The strongest of dope
Chemical mask for ventilation
After the trauma.. we'll have a toast and celebration
Cuban cigars and beautiful scars, frauds and segregation
