See What I Did

We all came up hustlin, packin' them bags. I never thought I'd be hustlin, packin' them bags and burnin' the tips
I had plans on burnin' the strip, but I couldn't get them together. Couldn't get it together
Couldn't look a fiend in his face, put death in his hand. Had me feelin' like less than a man

And about moms who put it in her palm, how her life went wrong. I couldn't add to that
So I sold to the hustlers, I'd rather that. Had coke, but I needed crack
Had to learn how to cook, on Dealz vegetarian stove. No skills, had to do as told
The story unfolds, light found out guess who he told?

No other than Papa, set fire to his soul. That his son was a hustler, said, Pop, I'm a man
And in order to win, I gotta do what I can

I, myself, made life what it is. I overcame the odds, you never lived
I, made life what it is. See what I did

I, made life what it is. See what I did
I, made life what it is. I overcame the odds, you never lived

Mama put the pipe down, said she had the pipe down. Said she couldn't come to the Grammys like this
Said Diddy Bop would do it, so I'm Diddy Boppin' to it

Pray to Lord, I could take care of my family like this
Cause if all fails jails around the corner, cause pounds of that marijuana gon' take me there
But I swear, till I sit in that royal chair, I'll have a loss of air, I'm not leavin' here
See the odds against me, I came to even it here

This is triumph, no grieving here. This is struggling, belief in here
Make it brief in here. Share my views, and losing is not an option
I've been up for adoption, what could be worse
But I still amplify my worth, from special ed, to spilling out of your stereos

The walking miracle who never ever stepped foot in a church

I, made life what it is. See what I did
I never forget, man. I'm grateful for anybody I ever met that ever did anything for me
Last but not least, fia schooled me to this music shit

I'm a real nigga, I ain't forget
Nigga, we still mans, I still love you, we still fam
We went through the bullshit, I still extended my hand
They say Steele, sharpens, and Steele, the best supposed to clash at the top

But I never thought that'd be us, never thought it'd be a matter of trust
You introduced me to Mick, me and Lou met him, we just clicked
See I'm a star from the rock, you said it yourself
So soon enough you'll see that rockstar shit on your shelf

See you gave me the title, admired by my idol
Giving you props is vital, your justice is due
So rest in peace to Randy, much love for your crew
But it's time to take this home

I got my own ma, uno, supa, and space
And I can't wait till we rich and see the look on they face

I, myself, made life what it is
I overcame the odds, you never lived

I, made life what it is
See what I did
I, made life what it is
See what I did

I, made life what it is
I overcame the odds, you never lived
I, made life what it is
