Describing a past of poverty, struggling, and the appearance after coming from hardship

We was just broke, yeah, broke as a bitch

Say, "Look how we move," we move legit

I take 'em to school and school 'em, shit (yeah)

And this how you look when you come from the trenches

And this how you look when you comin' from shit

Yeah, you ain't have nothin', but that how it is

See, this how you look when you do it for real

Reflecting on a past with little, experiences in difficult circumstances, and current success

Young nigga just jumped out the plane (ah)

1017 on a young nigga chain

I was broke than a bitch and I put it on gang (on God)

In the dump, me and 'Wop hoggin' up both lanes

Smokin' on gas, me and Shiest', propane

I was hurt than a bitch, I ain't have no name

Now it's seventy-five hundred for a bowl of lo-mein

We-we was in the back, separate the snakes from the rats

Now a young nigga gettin' racks, what you know about that?

Really havin' P's in the Scat, now I got Amiri jeans just to match

'Member my grandma had greens in the back (yeah)

You ain't never been seen with them racks

She ain't never pop beans out the pack

You ain't seen me with that

Try to make me believe you ain't a rat, now 1017 on my back

Reiteration of coming from nothing, portraying the appearance and demeanor after success

We was just broke, yeah, broke as a bitch

Say, "Look how we move," we move legit

I take 'em to school and school 'em, shit (yeah)

And this how you look when you come from the trenches

And this how you look when you comin' from shit

Yeah, you ain't have nothin', but that how it is

See, this how you look when you do it for real

Expressing current feelings of success, flaunting achievements, and consequences for doubters

I went and did it, I did it for real

Ice on my neck and it givin' me chills

And they really hurt 'cause I shitted on 'em

And I'm really ballin', come shoot in your gym

And diamond like water, I'm ready to swim

I stayed on the scale and this Heaven for real

You play with the gang, it be Heaven for him

Repeated emphasis on the journey from poverty to success and the attitude that accompanies it

We was just broke, yeah, broke as a bitch

Say, "Look how we move," we move legit

I take 'em to school and school 'em, shit (yeah)

And this how you look when you comin' from shit

Yeah, you ain't have nothin', but that how it is

See, this how you look when you do it for real

Continued repetition about humble beginnings and the appearance after overcoming hardship

We was just broke, yeah, broke as a bitch
