Lyrics

Went back to my mama house

Returned to my mother's home

Coz the food she cook amazing

Because the meals she prepares are exceptional

Said you losing weight

She mentioned my weight loss

Told her that I'm running game yeah

I told her I'm focused on pursuing success

Bought a new crib

Purchased a new house

Soon as I saw the bank statement

Immediately upon viewing my bank statement

This shit too crazy I'm everyone's favorite

I feel overwhelmed by everyone's admiration


Ok now we made it

Expressing satisfaction at our achievement

Ok now we made it

Reiterating the sense of accomplishment

Roll one with my niggas then I scream out load

Smoking with my friends, celebrating loudly

We made it

Confirming the success we've achieved

Ok now we made it

Reaffirming our accomplishment

Look at that we made it

Observing and acknowledging our success

Roll one with my niggas then I scream out load

Celebrating loudly with my friends

We made it

Reaffirming the success we've achieved


Lemme take you take you back when I was still in fourth grade

Reflecting back to my fourth-grade days

Started rapping then I was ripping out pages

Started writing rap lyrics and filling pages

Looking for the perfect words for the right phrases

Searching for the perfect words and phrases

Never thought the shit would get a youngin this paid

Never imagined success would come this way

Let alone all this fame

Especially not the fame and fortune

I was just inspired by the shit that Jody played

Inspired by the music I listened to

I'm talking 50 cent talking Shady talking Jay

Mentions influences like 50 Cent, Eminem, Jay-Z

This the shit I used to sing along to everyday

Songs I used to listen to daily

This shit ain't never been the same

Life changed drastically since then

Like the day I heard Jody spit a verse I was amazed

Amazed by Jody's rap, a turning point

Lord knows I relate I just wanted to be great

Relating to struggles and aspirations

Bet you didn't know I said this on my first tape

Revealing thoughts from an early recording

Here I am again like ain't a damn thing changed

Despite progress, still the same core desire

Fast forward eighth grade

Advancing to the eighth grade in life

To the first time rapping for a crowd on stage

First public performance on stage

Right about the same time I hit the studio wave

Entered the music studio scene

Back in 2013

Referencing the year 2013

Far from being drake but look how far this nigga came

Comparing growth to Drake's success

Got a long way to go

Still a long journey ahead

Not a gimmick I'm a goat yeah

Not just a fad, striving for greatness

I'm a work in progress and the work is there to show yeah

Progressing and displaying efforts

I made you a promise more of me he hit the note

Promising more dedication and expression

From me to you and only you, you better listen close

Urging to pay close attention to the message
