Ring to It Lyrics

Never had a lot, I had to buckle up and get it

Should've seen my life, I swear to God it wasn't pretty

People really only hung around me out of pity

Country life was hard, I had to move into the city

If I wanted something valuable, I had to steal it

Poverty was brutal, it was oozing, you could smell it

Wonder how I bore it when I couldn't just ignore it

Going to bed hungry everyday was nothing funny

Life was like a horror series 'cause it was so gory

You don't wanna hear it, it's a really sad story

How I made it out is a big mystery

I'm just really grateful that life is history

I'm just really grateful those days're long gone

R.I.P to the ones that're gone

Dedicated to all those dead is this song

Think it's safe to say that I never did wrong

Wrong, don't say I never did wrong

I'mma take the fall for all the wrongs that I remember

I'mma bear the burden for the evil I had rendered

Wonder why I can relate, it's prolly 'cause I've been there

Committed a sin there, why blessings're hindered

Back when I was broken, I should've been kinder

Always kept a frown when I should've really smiled more

Maybe if I had more, something I could smile for

Couldn't really handle it

All the pressure got my body building like an athlete

All my nights were candlelit

I am not the matchstick girl but was fond of it

Should've seen the gang in it

Quite poor and pathetic, but we was really managing

That's why when people say I'll get the paper and power

I say that I like the sound of it

"VROOM! VROOM!! VROOM!!!"

Strapped in and 'bout to go "ZOOM! ZOOM!! ZOOM!!!"

Explosions "BOOM! BOOM!! BOOM!!!"

That's gon' be your mind when I walk into the room

That'll be your expression, you gon' smell it like perfume

You could say I'm unreleased because I'm coming soon

Brighter than a light bulb, I'll be shining like the moon

Plastic forks and knives 'cause I had no silver spoons

No spoons? That's cruel

Not one, not two, but at least a couple of times I had to tie my shoes

At least a couple times I had to abide by the rules

At least a couple times when I've done it but they didn't

But they let it slide 'cause the ref didn't see it

For real, and now they're acting like they didn't do it

But they're acting good, so they prolly would believe it

I won't be surprised if they do

Do what? Pull up on your blocks

Bring out all the Glocks and then spin blocks

Fire up the firearms, stop the opps

Red alert! The fire alarm, kill some cops

Snitches-get-stitches talk and whatnot

They might act friendly but just want your spot

Like you're in a famine, ration your trust

It's like a backup plan if bad comes to worst

Couldn't really handle it

All the pressure got my body building like an athlete

All my nights were candlelit

I am not the matchstick girl but was fond of it

Should've seen the gang in it

Quite poor and pathetic, but we was really managing

That's why when people say I'll get the paper and power

I say that I like the sound of it

Never had a lot, I had to buckle up and get it (I had to buckle up and get it)

Never had a lot and I never will forget it (I never will forget it)

Gon' be at the top, so if you're ready, bring it on (I'm ready for ya)

If anybody asks, you could tell 'em Stephen said it (You could tell 'em I did)
