Lyrics The Top - Reveal

They told me have a dream, they said dream big
But now I'm dreaming, why they telling me to leave this
South-side brown skin kid
Be the reason they don't see me with the accolades
I should be in school, but I'm not, so I have to pay,
Saying I ain't doing nutting, when I'm doing something
They just treat my like a track and trace
Sacrifices written on my bills and I'm cool with it
And I'm used to it

And I got my own money coming in
I'm a solo kid
Kinda' new to it
They be like "I don't know him"
I been changing a lot
Breaking & making the box
Hustle for the the top
And I got my own money coming in
I'm a solo kid
Kinda' new to it
They be like "I don't know him"
I been changing a lot
Breaking & making the box
Hustle for the the top

I used to throwback days, but now I'm tryna' catch life
Used to be cool, but now I'm tryna' act right
Been going out, just so I can get a pay
My father doing overtime is just another day
I remember when I told my brother bout the dream
Told him bout my idols and the man I wanna be
He said go for it, A to B, ain't no in between
Went back into my room to reading lyrics on the screen
School days I was really tryna do the best
My father always questioning, keeping me in check
"Fuck about your feelings, how you doing in your tests?"
"Show me all the numbers I don't care about the rest"
As a kid, that's the way that it would translate
Either its bad, or not enough, I never had praise
And so I had praise myself on a bad day
And good days, I would treat it like a glass raise

And so I had faith
A lot of it
Classmates thinking he's either stupid or he's way too confident
People underestimating, I was way too fond of it
Fake love in all the voices, it way too obvious
I would've been a fool not to expect hate
But as I kept going, all they did was spectate
But now I kill the hate with kindness, that's the best way
And if not, then I'm silent, cos karma go'n let the rest pay
I want money and riches but not too much
Cos if I'm 6 feet deep, then tell me who won?
I wanna cherish the moments, and make new ones
My family the reason I'm here, the reason I'm doing sum'n
And I got a little message for the future wifey
She's go'n probably be a dime, wanna live it pricey
If I'm ever zoned in, girl just take it lightly
If we tryna live good, gotta sacrifice things
Big dreams that's I had, I keep going back
Mom would always find notes all up in my bag
School days, play ball, then it's to the class
Home time, go and eat, then it's to raps
Making tracks, yeah knew that it would turn a habit
I can't live without this music, turned into an addict
And right now the track sounds like gold to me
Day by day, I keep it going

And I got my own money coming in
I'm a solo kid
Kinda' new to it
They be like "I don't know him"
I been changing a lot
Breaking & making the box
Hustle for the the top
And I got my own money coming in
I'm a solo kid
Kinda' new to it
They be like "I don't know him"
I been changing a lot
Breaking & making the box
Hustle for the the top
