Connection (Feat. Cee434 & Malcolm Chase)

Look how I came up, show improve
Cards were dealt, I was born to lose
Kicked out, was couch surfing the whole time
Applied it to my craft and now I'm on the move
Labeled the underdog, was never seen as a winner
I went nights without eating a dinner
No cry chain, but I was up to my neck with freezing
Cuz niggas went most nights without heat in the winter
Life that I lived was mortified, but it made me more defiant
Born with drive, was poor but if formed a lion
Forced to strive with thoughts like Oral's treasure
So cold under pressure I could form a diamond
On the island you would think you on a island
Where the tourist guides showed you forceful sirens
Torches, dying, bodies full of where coffins lie
In other words, my nigga we resort to violence
Knew that all it takes
Is put all my faith
In myself and craft then I'll be on my way
Rather floor the gas than waiting on a break
On the road to riches you got a choice to make
Choose ramen noodles, or have shrimp and steak
Either way there's gonna be something on your plate
Ignore the competition and dub all the hate
Put in overtime until one day you say, aye

Momma dry your eyes
Don't worried no more
You don't have cry
Remember we were so poor
You said you'll be fine
Now your baby's going off
Put in all that time in my grand
Now we up
All my niggas stunting
Made it from the bottom
You can't tell us nothing
Now we up
All my niggas winning
Down since the beginning
From the start to finish
Now we up

And all I ever wanted was the bounce
Hella gold, pocket full of green
Shawty choosing when I come around
24's when I hit the scene
It was all a dream
Trying to get the juice, Biggie Smalls homie I just want he loot
Reaping what I sow, working for the fruit
Told you I'm a great, giving y'all the proof
Know some niggas that's forever in a suit
And never ever thought outside the box
Just wanna push a whip off the lot
And place a couple diamonds on a clock
Too many of us end up meeting glocks
Or sitting in a car beside a cot
This for nights I didn't have a car, sleeping on the floor
Rich in spirit but I knew I needed more
Pockets full of nothing, even though it hurt
Know my situation isn't what I'm worth
Ain't no limitations on a nigga grind
All this shade ain't never stopped a niggas shine
Praying every night
Working everyday
Know it's hella dues
Know I gotta pay
Know it's hella rude
Trouble on the way
But it'll all be perfect when I get to say

Momma dry your eyes
Don't worried no more
You don't have cry
Remember we were so poor
You said you'll be fine
Now your baby's going off
Put in all that time in my grand
Now we up
All my niggas stunting
Made it from the bottom
You can't tell us nothing
Now we up
All my niggas winning
Down since the beginning
From the start to finish
Now we up

Momma dry your eyes
Don't you worry no more
Remember we was so poor
You said we'll be fine
Now we up
