i gotta make me a name, i gotta make me a case
i'm trynna rise to the fame, jus to put food on the plate
all of these niggas is lame, i got a dream and i chase
look at my shit from last year, look at how far i done came
i done had them struggles, i done had them days
wanted to end it all, wanted to leave this place
but i had to have the strength, i knew i had to stay
because i'm here for a purpose, and i'm here to be great
because i'm here to be the nigga who give all yall faith
because i'm here to tell yall niggas there's a reason for the pain
that there's a reason for them struggles that you go through everyday
but i jus need you to have hope and you can't throw your love away

no, you can't throw your love away
i know it's hard to give your heart and see it break
i know it's hard to give your all and be betrayed
i know it's hard to see your dogs turn into snakes
but it's whatever
i promise you without em that ya life is gone be better
dropped all them niggas off my chest, now i feel lighter than a feather
and now my vision look clear, i made it out the stormy weather
lil shordy see me blowin' up, she trynna come back, i could never

you shoulda seen it all before
you shoulda seen the way you had me cryin' on the floor
and you shoulda seen the way i couldn't trust anymore
but really, i should thank you for the pain that i endured
but really, i should thank you for jus openin' these doors
you broke my heart, and then i started workin' harder than before
took my emotions, pour em into every verse that i record
you hear the agony that's hidden in the lyrics i perform
these niggas callin' me and askin if i'm good, i said of course
'cause everynight i spent up cryin' is a trophy i endorse
i made it through, when i was thinkin' that i couldn't anymore
i made it through, when i had the devil lurkin' on my shoulders
