Look At Me Now

Lyrics

[Intro] Today is the day that we celebrate hood success This for everybody that said we gon' be nobody And made something out of nothing For everybody who down right now But you on your way up, you prove the whole world wrong [Verse 1] Look at me now, I'm on top of my game Through the tropical rains and vipers cock-blocking my change I done seen so many true Gs get dropped, it's a shame So I make sure to keep these haters in my optical range I stayed on it day and night until my hustle was polished Got a degree in hoodology, the streets are my college Love my city but I'm hating all this static I'm peepin' Every year we lose a legend and these boys are still beefin' Violating the hood rules, lying and cheating I ain't sittin' on twenty million but I promise I'm eatin' When it comes to the game, know I got plenty to mash on ya You can shine but concentrate on realness, it lasts longer Utilizing my time, nothing going to waste I can't get two steps from the finish line and drop out the race And true to myself is the only way I can stay 'Cause I ain't never met nobody that can beat me being K [Chorus x2] Look at me now, I done overcame the turbulent weather They thought that it was over for me but I'm stronger than ever The longer the time you put in, the longer the cheddar I wrote a letter, dear haters, thanks for making me better [Verse 2] We gotta get this cash if it's the last thing that we do So our people in jail will have something to come home to And they won't have to hit the block and start hustling again And then months after they get out, go right back in I wake up focused and ready with my mind on my grands If you hatin' on me then you got too much time on your hands Man, I got family in my corner, riding with me, I'm straight A ounce of love carries more weight than a ton of your hate Right or wrong, sometimes the weak got to depend on the strong And jealous people tryna fade me, like the end of a song And you can come up, but when you fall, it's rarely a sequel What's the use of having cash if you ain't feeding your people If you fake, sooner or later you gon' show yo hand I'm self-made to the fullest, I don't owe no man Except the man above all men who kept me and saved me I'm thankful for the day Patricia Ann and LV made me [Chorus x2] Look at me now, I done overcame the turbulent weather They thought that it was over for me but I'm stronger than ever The longer the time you put in, the longer the cheddar I wrote a letter, dear haters, thanks for making me better [Verse 3] Ain't no moving to the suburbs, I can't even see it The hood put me on my feet so why the hell would I leave it? We gon' clean it up and fix it, houses, streets and clothes I'm from the place where nine out of ten police is hoes If you ain't loyal to the game, ain't no way you can win it Hustle is like your body, it won't work if your heart ain't in it You gots to be mentally strong or you won't last long Some of the coldest Gs that ever lived got talked down on Get your business hand strong, stack paper by any means You live with mama but got a ride with new rims and 20 screens I ain't trippin' if you flashy, just keep hustling harder Ain't nothing wrong with having things if you get 'em in proper order Now, we gettin' smarter, stackin' rainy or sunny Opening businesses throughout the hood with black owned money And ain't no more being broke, it's all real, no graphics And watching haters in my rearview gettin' stuck in the traffic [Chorus x2] Look at me now, I done overcame the turbulent weather They thought that it was over for me but I'm stronger than ever The longer the time you put in, the longer the cheddar I wrote a letter, dear haters, thanks for making me better
