Not Like You

Came up in the rough, roaches crawlin' on the floor

Mama steady workin' doubles, tryna keep us from the cold

I seen grown men fold, let the struggle eat their soul

I was out there pushin' weight, I ain't talkin' 'bout the dope

They talkin' 'bout it, while I'm out there takin' risks

Never played it safe, had to learn to move like this

No excuses, no regrets, every step I took was earned

See, they waited on a handout, all my lessons were learned

They say money make you change—so I etched out a proof

Had to pay attention so that I would never be like you
