Mama, you know I love you, through this pain I'm gon' go

And if it's my time, I ain't goin' like no ho

Man, I done seen it all, had to struggle, I was broke

In the trenches selling soap, tryna fund all my goals

Wishin' for better days, wishin' for better nights

Dreamin' of gettin' paid, dream of a better life

Wishin' for better days, wishin' for better nights

Dreamin' of gettin' paid, dream of a better life

Look, you gotta go through shit to get to where you goin

Malibu, beach, silk shirt, unbuttoned chest is showing

Got my Nobu bill comped, shoutout to Octo

Came a long way from drive bys shots out the Bronco

Grizelda Blanco supplied the hookah lounge, Russ would introduce

I'd look out, V would move around

Proud of all my niggas that I struggled with

Watched them all blow, become the man, remain the humblest

Used to be on the dumbest shit, guns came out every time

My nigga Al took one for the team, that love will never die

I got a baby on the way for the seventh time

Six abortions later, who said man never cry

Mama, you know I love you, through this pain I'm gon' go

And if it's my time, I ain't goin' like no ho

Man, I done seen it all, had to struggle, I was broke

In the trenches sellin' soap, tryna fund all my goals

Wishin' for better days, wishin' for better nights

Dreamin' of gettin' paid, dream of a better life

Wishin' for better days, wishin' for better nights

Dreamin' of gettin' paid, dream of a better life

I was hurt without a pot to piss in

Then all my homies turned to hoes, so now the plot is thickened

Bank account was negative, how I got the difference

With robbin' motherfuckers, likely barely makin' rent then

It does somethin' to your soul to feel like you alone

When you're wonderin' what it's like to have a happy home

Hearts'll turn to stone or wither under these conditions

I took my tragedies and beat them fuckers in submission

I'ma be sufficient or fuck it, I'll die tryin

Put a crease in my deficiencies like hot irons

The heart of a rottweiler beatin' in my chest

I keep a level steady hand if ever in distress

Despite my trials and tribulations, safe to say I'm blessed

I caught the wave and surfed that mother to whatever's next

It's safe to say I made my way, so now I'm trouble less

I'm focused on gettin' paid, so nigga fuck the rest

Wishin' for better days, wishin' for better nights

Dreamin' of gettin' paid, dream of a better life

Wishin' for better days, wishin' for better nights

Dreamin' of gettin' paid, dream of a better life
