Yeah, I came from the curb with a grin
Still got scars, still let love in
I smile with my hand on my heart
Made a way through the damn hard part
Still gangsta, but I pray when I ride
Got my people and the sun on my side
If they hate, let the bullshit pass
We came up, now we laugh at the past
Mama said keep your chin up,
baby, don't fold
I was selling hope when the nights got cold Block full of
sirens, I still cracked jokes Had a broke phone and a pocket
full of notes Fuck being bitter,
I turned pain into drive
Seen friends switch, still kept my soul alive
Gold in my teeth,
but the love more bright
Street made me tough,
God kept me light
I don't hide from the rain no more
I let it wash my chain
Every loss put a name on me
Every win took the shame
I smile with my hand on my heart
Made a way through the damn hard part
Still gangsta, but I pray when I ride
Got my people and the sun on my side
If they hate, let the bullshit pass
We came up, now we laugh at the past (yeah) (ooh)
New fit clean but my memory stained
Lost a few names to the hunger game
I don't brag just to cover my fear I talk cash,
but I hold folks near Lil' homie laughed when the rent got
paid That shit felt better than a brand new chain Still move
smart when the corner gets loud
Happy as hell, but I don't back
down
I forgive, but I don't forget
Love on my sleeve,
steel in my step
If I fall, I fall forward
Tell my block we ain't done yet
I smile with my hand on my heart
Made a way through the damn hard part
Still gangsta, but I pray when I ride
Got my people and the sun on my side
If they hate, let the bullshit pass
We came up, now we laugh at the past
We laugh at the past (yeah)
