Gave It My All Lyrics

I just don't understand how niggas expect shit to get handed to them

All the years I put in for this shit, and you want me to give you the game for free

You don't understand the journey

And if you really want this shit, you gon' put in the work for it

Point blank

Let's get it

The game is to be sold, not told

I may take long, but I never fold

I've been chasing this music shit for years

I done shed blood, I shed so many tears

A lot of money spent and went down the drain

Went broke more than once, you couldn't fathom pain

My parents ain't believe in none of my dreams

Convert the energy to fuel and use it as steam

Putting out shit for niggas not to hear it

I got discouraged, but it never broke my spirit

I kept going and I never gave up

Now you forced to watch a nigga make his mark on the way up

The countless times that it got dark, but I stayed up

Got on my knees, had to thank God, and I prayed up

Y'all don't understand the losses that I took

I kept it on the hush and I kept it on the shush, man

I gave this shit my all

Gave this shit my soul

Listen to the pain of a story never told

Gave this shit my all

Gave this shit my soul

Listen to the pain of a story never told

All them drives to Brooklyn paying tolls

(Shout out Stokes)

All them hours spent over the road

Making songs while I drove in my truck

This shit came from hard work, no luck

Showcases that I lost that were rigged

Losing jobs and booking new gigs

Credit card bills ran up and done

To keep going when you know you the one

I had some major wins, but I took L's

Had to push through adversity as well

Stead fast in pursuing my goals

I'm in this shit for life, dog, on my soul

I'ma execute, gotta demonstrate

Discipline and faith put you in the right place

Hard work pays off and we gon' make a toast

I want it the most, ain't nobody coming close, man

I gave this shit my all

Gave this shit my soul

Listen to the pain of a story never told

Gave this shit my all

Gave this shit my soul

Listen to the pain of a story never told
