  • Yeah, yeah
    Yeah (hey)

    My mama called, "Seen you on TV, son"
    Said shit done changed ever since we was on
    I dreamed it all ever since I was young
    They said I wouldn't be nothing
    Now they always say, "Congratulations" (uh, uh, uh)
    Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation (uh-huh)
    They ain't never had the dedication (uh, uh)
    People hatin', say we changed and look, we made it (uh, uh)
    Yeah, we made it (uh, uh, uh)

    They was never friendly, yeah
    Now I'm jumping out the Bentley, yeah
    And I know I sound dramatic, yeah
    But I knew I had to have it, yeah
    For the money, I'm a savage, yeah
    Had me itching like a habit, yeah
    I'm surrounded twenty bad bitches, yeah
    But they didn't know me last year, yeah
    Everyone wanna act like they important (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
    But all that mean nothing when I saw my dough, yeah (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
    Everyone counting on me drop the ball, yeah (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
    Everything custom like I'm at the border, yeah, yeah
    If you fuck with winning, put your lighters to the sky
    How could I make cents when I got millions on my mind?
    Coming with that bullshit, I just put it to the side
    Balling since a baby, they could see it in my eyes

    My mama called, "Seen you on TV, son"
    Said shit done changed ever since we was on

    Now I can scream that we made it (we made it)

    Young nigga, young nigga, graduation (yeah)
    I pick up the rock and I ball, baby (ball)

  • S0ulburner from Tough CallTo take in the quality and most accurate interpretation of this song one must use all aspects of their imagination. *I have the fire place cracking as I sit back in my custom leather shiatsu massage chair writing this review I listen to PMs Congratulations*
    Without revealing too much without proper consent a reasonable person can sense he’s trying to convey some braggadocio and not necessarily the daily struggle of being marginally famous.
