Until They Saw Me Winning
Yeah! Ayy!
I remember all that talking!
Now look where I’m at!
Let’s go!
They didn’t believe me— UNTIL THEY SAW ME WINNING!
Now they wanna say they know me,
Funny how the story switching!
They didn’t believe me— UNTIL THEY SAW ME WINNING!
I was working in the dark,
Now the whole room got me in it!
I don’t need no co-sign,
I don’t need no permission!
Had a dream inside my head,
Now I’m living my ambition!
I had a plan,
they had opinions, I had hunger,
they had predictions, Had nothing but a little ambition,
Turned that little into a whole new position!
They said, “You can’t.” I said,
“Watch.” They said, “Slow down.” I said,
“Nah.” They put a ceiling over me,
I turned that ceiling into a floor!
I don’t talk about the grind,
I let the grind talk,
I don’t tell ‘em where I’m going,
I just take off!
Every loss that I took
Put some steel in my backbone,
Every door that they closed Made me build my own!
They were busy with the talking,
I was busy with the cooking,
Now the plate full— Look who they
looking! They didn’t believe me— UNTIL THEY SAW ME WINNING!
Now they wanna say they know me,
Funny how the story switching!
They didn’t believe me— UNTIL THEY SAW ME WINNING!
I was working in the dark,
Now the whole room got me in it!
(yeah) Now I’m up,
but I remember being low,
Had to
learn how to swim when they wouldn’t let me float,
Pocket full of dreams and a head full of goals,
Turned every “no” into another bankroll!
No handouts! No
favors! No shortcuts! See you later!
I ain’t asking for a seat,
I’ma build another table!
Pressure made diamonds, I was built under pressure,
Every time I got tested I came back better!
They wanted me to crack,
I turned stress into a weapon,
Every setback now Looks like part of the progression!
Wait! I was down—
Now I’m up! Had no luck— Made my luck!
One shot— Took that shot!
One dream— Made it hot!
They said, “NO!” I said,
“WATCH!” They said, “STOP!” I said,
“NAH!” No brakes! No fear!
If they couldn’t see the vision,
Now the picture’s crystal clear!
Who believed me? NOBODY!
Who saw it coming?
NOBODY!
Who kept working?
ME!
Who got the wins?
ME!
They didn’t believe me— UNTIL THEY SAW ME WINNING!
Now they wanna say they know me,
Funny how the story switching!
They didn’t believe me— UNTIL THEY SAW ME WINNING!
I was working in the dark,
Now the whole room got me in it!
They didn’t believe me… UNTIL THEY SAW ME WINNING! (WINNING!) (WINNING!)
