Lyrics

These last four years have been a blessing and curse

Reflecting on the past four years, acknowledging both positive and negative experiences.

Have been the best and the worst

Describing the extreme highs and lows encountered during this period.

It's kinda choking me up, kinda breaking me down

Expressing mixed emotions, feeling choked up and broken down.

Danny lost his momma, always caught up in some drama, was even homeless for a minute

Telling a story about Danny, who faced challenges like losing his mother and experiencing homelessness.

You wouldn't have what it takes

Challenging someone's ability to endure difficulties and suggesting they lack what it takes.

I put my money where my mouth is

Emphasizing the commitment by investing money and possibly sacrificing integrity for success.

I done sold my soul for this

-

You wouldn't have what it takes

-

You don't have what it takes no

-

I put my money where my mouth is

-

I put my money where my mouth is

-

I put my money where my mouth is

-

And you don't have what it takes

-

You wouldn't have what it takes

Reiterating that the person in question doesn't possess the necessary qualities.

These bills keep stacking on up

Describing the hardships faced, long workdays, and the toll it takes on mental and emotional well-being.

Crush 14 hour work days like I don't even give a fuck

-

Sun's coming up here at the studio and I ain't been home

-

This shit hurts more than you could ever know

-

If you were in my shoes

-

You'd be more jaded than me

-

More messed up than me

-

You lack the tenacity

Pointing out the lack of tenacity in the individual being addressed.

No you aint got none on me

-

You wouldn't have what it takes

Repeating the assertion that the person lacks the qualities needed for success.

I put my money where my mouth is

-

I done sold my soul for this

-

You wouldn't have what it takes

-

You don't have what it takes no

-

I put my money where my mouth is

-

I put my money where my mouth is

-

I put my money where my mouth is

-

And you don't have what it takes

-

You wouldn't have what it takes

Confirming the person's inadequacy and contrasting it with the speaker's belief in their own abilities.

No you don't have what it takes

-

You know I've got what it takes

-

They'll never have what it takes

-

Will you ever have what it takes?

Pondering whether the person will ever acquire the needed qualities.

I keep on moving mountains

Expressing resilience in the face of challenges, moving mountains, and bleeding for dreams.

And the world keeps pushing back on me

-

Don't know how I am standing

-

All I know is how to bleed for all my dreams

-

I put my money where my mouth is

Reiterating the speaker's commitment and emphasizing the other person's lack of what it takes.

I done sold my soul for this

-

You wouldn't have what it takes

-

You don't have what it takes no

-

I put my money where my mouth is

-

I put my money where my mouth is

-

I put my money where my mouth is

-

And you don't have what it takes

-

You wouldn't have what it takes

Final affirmation that the person doesn't possess the required qualities for success.
