V1 I remember when it used to be simple, But all this cash it just complicates things, And all this money that we into, It'll drive you crazy, But it only makes me go harder, grow stronger, And get tougher when the road get longer. Sometimes you gon' think it's too much on ya, But think what I'd be doing if this wasn't going on. So I just keep on pushin' when I'm being pulled in every direction, Now I'm poppin' so they watchin' every step of my progression. Sometimes fame feel like a curse latched to my blessing, On the road to the riches, turning earth into heaven. Dear lord if ya hear me, I don't need not a new friend near me. Cos I don't need none of that fake love, Cos how I'm lookin' at it, all of that be made up. CHORUS I remember when I wasn't this big, And now y'all wanna act like y'all helped me get here. Oh now everybody wanna love me, Tried to knock me down but I'm strong, Did all this on my own, Ain't got no time for no new friends, So for now just leave me alone. I don't need y'all any way x6 I don't need y'all.. V2 Making each and every song like it might be my last one, But still making sure the cash come. Still ain't forget the times when I didn't have none. Back against the wall feeling like I had to grab sumn. That's when, I took time and I figured it out. I'd rather deal with the stressin' more than living without, Take a one way trip to the top one time, Let you have it for a minute, now I want mine. Same girl on the cover of the magazine, Was the one hiding pain that you hadn't seen. Talkin' bout 'No money, No family, 16 in the middle of Miami.' Same critics love me nowadays couldn't stand me, Now we talkin' 'bout VMA's and a Grammy, But in due time turn nothing into something, So now I need money put it all in my discussions. (CHORUS) And if you wasn't here when I was down, Then you won't be here when I'm up. Now the same one you looked over, Be the same one that blew up. Ain't it funny how this life thing works, When you think it's finished, is when it all begins, Go from doubts to having the thought it might work. It goes up and down and then it starts again. And when I reminisce sometimes I, Can't even keep a dry, eye But my how time flies by, When you on top of the world sky high. (CHORUS)
