Lyrics

You just know I'm never switching sides

You can trust I won't change sides.

I got my words to live behind

I have my words (lyrics) to stand by and live through.

I'm just another cracker rappin' what you know about the grind

I'm a white rapper talking about the struggle of hard work.

The grind I had to make it on my own, the people stand beside

I had to succeed independently, but people supported me.

I do this with my roots and no one else can ever cut the ties

I stay true to my origins, no one can sever my connections.

I came from the countryside with no neighbors without the lights

I grew up in a rural area without neighbors and lights.

But now I'm rollin' round the city, every move I make is bright

Now I'm navigating the city confidently, every step shines.

Been turnin' nothin' into somethin', took three lefts and now I'm right

Transforming nothing into something, finding the right path after some wrong turns.

I'm bumpin' all my music just to show these people what it's like

I use my music to illustrate my life to others.

What it's like to be the greatest even though you never made it

Being exceptional despite not achieving mainstream success.

All these artists I look up to, see the pictures I've been painting

Admiring artists while creating my own artistic vision.

What it's like to chase a dream and never give up on the patience

Persisting in chasing dreams without losing patience.

Rap has always been my medicine, so I became the patient

Rap is my solace, and I've become its devoted follower.

I hold my middle finger to the sky, say fuck em' all when drivin' by

Expressing defiance towards critics while driving.

'Cause you can not get the catch up to me, I'm rollin' on them 35's

I'm unstoppable, moving forward with confidence.

Them haters start to stare at me cause I came from the dirty side

Attracting attention due to my unconventional background.

The dirty side of workin' hard, the motto that I live behind

Embracing the hard work ethic as a guiding principle.

Hold my middle finger to the sky, say fuck em all when drivin' by

Similar sentiment as line 14.

'Cause you can not catch up to me, I'm rollin' on them 35's

Continuing the theme of being ahead and uncatchable.

Them haters start to stare at me cause I came from the dirty side

Reiterating the attention from critics due to background.

The dirty side of workin' hard, the motto that I live behind

Reaffirming dedication to hard work as a guiding principle.

I was born to be the greatest without ever getting famous

Belief in innate greatness without needing fame.

I just look up to the mirror in my room, I see it hangin

Self-assurance by looking in the mirror and seeing authenticity.

See the realest motherfucker when I wake up, that's a statement

Acknowledging one's genuine identity upon waking up.

Start to wave, it's wavin' back, I know my image never fakin'

Authenticity recognized and reciprocated in the world.

I was born in 99 when rap was on my mind to hear me out

Growing up during a time when rap influenced thoughts.

And now I'm workin' full time at this job I used to dream about

Working a job that was once a dream, finding it surreal.

But man I think it's crazy all these people get to hear me now

Amazement at reaching a wide audience through music.

Imagine what I would be doin' if I never took the route

Reflecting on an alternate life if not pursuing music.

I took the route to get it, I've been workin' towards the finish

Taking the necessary path towards achieving goals.

If you ever have a dream you better bow your head to get it

Encouraging dedication and commitment to dreams.

All these obstacles are possible cause look at where I'm sittin'

Overcoming challenges due to current achievements.

I've been sittin' at my throne, I'm still not close to where I'm gettin'

Feeling accomplished but far from the ultimate goal.

I hold my middle finger to the sky, say fuck em all when drivin' by

Reiteration of defiance towards critics while driving.

'Cause you cannot catch up to me, I'm rollin' on them 35's

Emphasizing unstoppable progress and distance from detractors.

Them haters start to stare at me cause I came from the dirty side

Receiving attention due to a background of hard work.

The dirty side of workin' hard the motto that I live behind

Continuing to live by the motto of hard work.

Hold my middle finger to the sky, say fuck em all when drivin by

Similar sentiment as line 34.

'Cause you cannot catch up to me I'm rollin' on them 35's

Continuing the theme of being ahead and uncatchable.

Them haters start to stare at me cause I came from the dirty side

Reiterating the attention from critics due to background.

The dirty side of workin' hard, the motto that I live behind

Reaffirming dedication to hard work as a guiding principle.
