[Verse 1 meek mill]

I said I used to get high, just to get by

Couldn't deal with my reality, was livin' in a lie

Sometimes I asked god is we livin' just to die

Conversations with my dad, and he livin' in the sky

I think am I goin' crazy? or is this shit forreal

The spirit of a nigga who will or is appealed

Fightin' to see the light and I'm fightin' to keep it real

Like a nigga with no lawyer I'm ready to take a deal

Got me feelin' like khaled, cause all I do is win

I don't practice no religion, cause all I do is sin

I don't even write it down, I'm just spittin' out what's in

I don't celebrate for victory man all I do is grin

Uh, shit I ain't braggin' I don't boast

But when it come to bread fuck a slice I need a loaf

And a little bit of toast just to keep the haters off me

Man I do this for my city, all the niggas waitin on me.

[Hook meek mill]

Look into my eyes, tell me what you see

Youngin' full of pride, tendencies of a g

I never gave a fuck what ya' heard about me

Never told, never sold my soul nigga this is me.

[Verse 2 meek mill]

I'm a family man, don't you ever cross that line where my family stand

I send them boys to come and get you in that family van

Cold shooters that love them hammers like yosemite sam

I'm from a hood where these niggas scared to dream at

Fuck the money they wanna' kno where the lean at

They make ya' lean back, I'm talkin fade-away

Mike jordan, gettin' it ain't important

How can I forfeit, niggas makin' a fortune

Livin' in fortresses, gettin' it on some corporate shit

Go hard or go home and this the orphanage

Same niggas that I grew up I be often with

Small circle 'cause niggas a murk you

Most of the time it's niggas that know, but my niggas is purple

Hearted, I seen the snakes before they even started

Caught em, and the was dearly departed.

[Hook]

Look into my eyes, tell me what you see

Youngin' full of pride, tendencies of a g

I never gave a fuck what ya' heard about me

Never told, never sold my soul nigga this is me.
