Look at Me Now

Today is the day that we celebrate hood success\nThis for everybody that said we gon' be nobody\nAnd made something out of nothing\nFor everybody who down right now\nBut you on your way up, you prove the whole world wrong\nLook at me now, I’m on top of my game\nThrough the tropical rains and vipers cock-blocking my change\nI done seen so many true Gs get dropped, it’s a shame\nSo I make sure to keep these haters in my optical range\nI stayed on it day and night until my hustle was polished\nGot a degree in hoodology, the streets are my college\nLove my city but I’m hating all this static I’m peepin'\nEvery year we lose a legend and these boys are still beefin'\nViolating the hood rules, lying and cheating\nI ain’t sittin' on twenty million but I promise I’m eatin'\nWhen it comes to the game, know I got plenty to mash on ya\nYou can shine but concentrate on realness, it lasts longer\nUtilizing my time, nothing going to waste\nI can’t get two steps from the finish line and drop out the race\nAnd true to myself is the only way I can stay\n‘Cause I ain’t never met nobody that can beat me being K\nLook at me now, I done overcame the turbulent weather\nThey thought that it was over for me but I’m stronger than ever\nThe longer the time you put in, the longer the cheddar\nI wrote a letter, dear haters, thanks for making me better\nWe gotta get this cash if it’s the last thing that we do\nSo our people in jail will have something to come home to\nAnd they won’t have to hit the block and start hustling again\nAnd then months after they get out, go right back in\nI wake up focused and ready with my mind on my grands\nIf you hatin' on me then you got too much time on your hands\nMan, I got family in my corner, riding with me, I’m straight\nA ounce of love carries more weight than a ton of your hate\nRight or wrong, sometimes the weak got to depend on the strong\nAnd jealous people tryna fade me, like the end of a song\nAnd you can come up, but when you fall, it’s rarely a sequel\nWhat’s the use of having cash if you ain’t feeding your people\nIf you fake, sooner or later you gon' show yo hand\nI’m self-made to the fullest, I don’t owe no man\nExcept the man above all men who kept me and saved me\nI’m thankful for the day Patricia Ann and LV made me\nLook at me now, I done overcame the turbulent weather\nThey thought that it was over for me but I’m stronger than ever\nThe longer the time you put in, the longer the cheddar\nI wrote a letter, dear haters, thanks for making me better\nAin’t no moving to the suburbs, I can’t even see it\nThe hood put me on my feet so why the hell would I leave it?\nWe gon' clean it up and fix it, houses, streets and clothes\nI’m from the place where nine out of ten police is hoes\nIf you ain’t loyal to the game, ain’t no way you can win it\nHustle is like your body, it won’t work if your heart ain’t in it\nYou gots to be mentally strong or you won’t last long\nSome of the coldest Gs that ever lived got talked down on\nGet your business hand strong, stack paper by any means\nYou live with mama but got a ride with new rims and 20 screens\nI ain’t trippin' if you flashy, just keep hustling harder\nAin’t nothing wrong with having things if you get ‘em in proper order\nNow, we gettin' smarter, stackin' rainy or sunny\nOpening businesses throughout the hood with black owned money\nAnd ain’t no more being broke, it’s all real, no graphics\nAnd watching haters in my rearview gettin' stuck in the traffic\nLook at me now, I done overcame the turbulent weather\nThey thought that it was over for me but I’m stronger than ever\nThe longer the time you put in, the longer the cheddar\nI wrote a letter, dear haters, thanks for making me better
