[Chorus] Story coming up I don't know if they ready for this one though It's all drugs and thugs And all the stuff we gotta go through just to come up And as we come up It's still thugs But thugs with guns And we still fall Even with it all We still fall [Verse] Story coming up Lemme tell you a story This the tale of a hustler Product of the hood Where it's drugs and thugs and guns and mud But it's still home Even though I had to run And I had to do some stuff to get up out that slum And it hurt to say But the first way was the worst way So I hit the turf and made the Earth shake And now I'm global Went commercial I was local I was lowkey Kept a small circle I'm no Urkel I could never let the gang go I could never let the chains show Never been to San Diego But I get love like I did a show there And it's crazy how I rose up And the same people who looked down Be the same ones tryna show up It's the same ones who hate the glow up And the same ones who feel like they could never really be themselves They could never really show us And they wonder why I go up Product of the hood it's drugs and thugs and guns and mud But it's still home But I done had ta leave And I had to do some stuff to get up out that slum And it hurt to say But the first way was the worst way So I hit the turf and made the Earth shake And now I'm global Went commercial I was local I was lowkey Kept a small circle I'm no Urkel I could never let the gang go I could never let the chains show Never been to San Diego But I get love like I did a show there And it's crazy how I rose up And the same people who looked down Be the same ones tryna show up It's the same ones who hate the glow up And the same ones who feel like they could never really be themselves They could never really show us And they wonder why I go up
