Pipe that shit up, TnT
Tre made this beat
Let's talk 'bout hard times, real bottom boy survivor
Way before the jewelry, the groupie hoes, and designer
Back when I was tryna find a way for all my partners
Rema hit the window, popped the door for me and Lijah
'Member wakin' up with no destination
But I had some dedication, couldn't use my education
'Cause no nine dollars could help me face what I was facing
My light bill due, envelope blue, that mean you behind on payments
Rap slowed down and I was low on cash
Fresh out of high school, kicked out the house for living fast
Went and got a spot, then got a job, 'cause pops was on my ass
Then that's when pops had went to jail so it didn't last
Hit the block with Brock 'cause I was tryna pay my bills
Like fuck a rap career, let's touch these streets and make a mil'
Fast forward, like Rod Wave, tell me how you feel
When I think about my past, that shit give me chills, uh
Wake up in the morning, hit my knees, and I pray
Because He finally made a way
I been runnin' up that paper, mama
And before I let 'em come and take it, mama
I'ma die in these Cuban links
I'm gon' die in these Cuban links (bangers again)
Die in these Cuban links (right now today, let's go)
Die in these Cuban links (yes, Lord)
All my life it been a struggle
You on and fall off, you find out who really love you
Playin' in the storm drain, came out the gutter
Good relationships, I admit I had a couple
Making love to the money, me and bae lil' couple
Yola cooked down to the oil in it, don't switch around
I need everything when it lock in the pot, yeah
Grab it off the top, let it dry, work the clock, yeah
Finally up in rank, movin' blocks, holdin' sham, yeah
Havin' my lil' way, ghetto pussy used to act funny
Now I'm hittin' her hard from the back, she throw it back for me
And when I went to jail, shawty left, turned her back on me
Flexin' on they ass, pants sag with them racks on 'em
Wake up in the morning, hit my knees, and I pray

Let's talk 'bout hard times, real bottom boy survivor
Parlons de l'époque rude, vrai survivant sorti de la fosse
Way before the jewelry, the groupie hoes, and designer
Bien avant les bijoux, les salopes groupie et les marques de luxe
Back when I was tryna find a way for all my partners
Quand j'étais en train de chercher une combine pour tous mes partenaires
Rema hit the window, popped the door for me and Lijah
Rema a brisé la fenêtre, il a ouvert la porte pour Lijah et moi
'Member wakin' up with no destination
J'ai souvenir de m'être réveillé sans la moindre destination
But I had some dedication, couldn't use my education
Mais je n'étais pas sans dévouement, je ne pouvais pas utiliser mon éducation
'Cause no nine dollars could help me face what I was facing
Parce qu'un vulgaire $9 ne pouvait pas m'aider face aux trucs que je confrontais
My light bill due, envelope blue, that mean you behind on payments
La facture d'électricité dans l'enveloppe bleue, ça veut dire qu'elle est en retard
Rap slowed down and I was low on cash
Le rap ne payait pas et je manquais de fric
Fresh out of high school, kicked out the house for living fast
Sorti tout droit du secondaire, viré de la maison à cause de ma vie folle
Went and got a spot, then got a job, 'cause pops was on my ass
Sorti me trouver une planque et puis un boulot car le daron mettait la pression
Then that's when pops had went to jail so it didn't last
Et c'est là qu'il est parti en prison, donc ça n'a pas duré longtemps
Hit the block with Brock 'cause I was tryna pay my bills
Allé travailler dans la zone avec Brock parce que je devais payer mes factures
Like fuck a rap career, let's touch these streets and make a mil'
Genre "fuck une carrière de rap," partons bicraver pour encaisser le million
Fast forward, like Rod Wave, tell me how you feel
Passons directement en avant, comme Red Wave, que ressens-tu
When I think about my past, that shit give me chills, uh
Quand je pense à mon passé, ce genre de truc me fait frissonner, ah

Mourir en portant ces chaînons Cubains (immédiatement, aujourd'hui, allons-y)
Die in these Cuban links (yes, Lord)
Mourir en portant ces chaînons Cubains (oui, Seigneur)
All my life it been a struggle
J'ai du me débattre toute ma vie
You on and fall off, you find out who really love you
En tombant sans cesse du chemin, on apprend qui nous aime vraiment
Playin' in the storm drain, came out the gutter
Pataugeant dans le caniveau, sorti de la gouttière
Good relationships, I admit I had a couple
Il faut le dire, j'ai eu quelques belles relations
Making love to the money, me and bae lil' couple
En faisant l'amour aux billets, moi et ma chérie, p'tit couple

Découpe-ça du sommet, fais-le sécher, on travaille à longueur de journée, ouais
Finally up in rank, movin' blocks, holdin' sham, yeah
Finalement passé au rang supérieur, bicrave les blocs, retiens l'arnaque, ouais
Havin' my lil' way, ghetto pussy used to act funny
Le p'tit fait comme in veut, les chattes du hood se comportaient bizarrement
Now I'm hittin' her hard from the back, she throw it back for me
Et maintenant je la ken grave par en arrière, elle me rejette ça
And when I went to jail, shawty left, turned her back on me
Et quand je me suis fait enfermer, la chérie m'a tourné le dos
Flexin' on they ass, pants sag with them racks on 'em
Je flex grave sur leur boules, mes pantalons tombent, si pleins de milliers
Wake up in the morning, hit my knees, and I pray
Je me réveille le matin, je tombe à genoux et je prie
Because He finally made a way
Parce que le bon Dieu m'a finalement donné un chemin
I been runnin' up that paper, mama

Rema hit the window, popped the door for me and Lijah
O Rema bateu na janela, abriu a porta para mim e Lijah
'Member wakin' up with no destination
Me lembro acordando sem destino
But I had some dedication, couldn't use my education

Porque nenhum dinheiro podia me ajudar a encarar o que eu estava encarando
My light bill due, envelope blue, that mean you behind on payments

But I had some dedication, couldn't use my education

Rema hit the window, popped the door for me and Lijah
Rema ha colpito la finestra e ha aperto la porta a me e Lijah
'Member wakin' up with no destination
Mi ricordo che andavo avanti senza meta
But I had some dedication, couldn't use my education
Ma avevo dedizione, non potevo usare la mia educazione
'Cause no nine dollars could help me face what I was facing
Perché in nessun modo nove dollari mi avrebbero potuto aiutare ad affrontare ciò che stavo affrontando
My light bill due, envelope blue, that mean you behind on payments
La bolletta della luce scaduta, la busta blu, significa che sei in ritardo con i pagamenti
Rap slowed down and I was low on cash
Il rap stava rallentando e io ero a corto di soldi
Fresh out of high school, kicked out the house for living fast
Da poco finite le superiori, mi hanno cacciato di casa perché mi mettevo nei guai

Mi sono trovato un posto dove stare, ho trovato un lavoro perché mio padre mi stava addosso
Then that's when pops had went to jail so it didn't last

Now I'm hittin' her hard from the back, she throw it back for me
Ora la scopo forte da dietro, butta fuori il culo per me
And when I went to jail, shawty left, turned her back on me
E quando sono andato in prigione, la piccola se ne è andata, mi ha voltato le spalle
Flexin' on they ass, pants sag with them racks on 'em
Si vantano del loro culo, i pantaloni scendono con il peso delle mazzette da mille dollari
Wake up in the morning, hit my knees, and I pray
Quando mi sveglio la mattina mi metto in ginocchio e prego
Because He finally made a way
Perché Lui finalmente ha trovato una strada per me
