[Intro] Uh, uh Uh, uh, uh Uh, uh Yeah This one is dedicated To all the people who ain't believe I write my own rhymes To all y'all cats who didn't wanna take a chance on a kid rapper When all I was tryna do was get a deal to feed my sister and my mother And to all the kids in the struggle, it's all good baby, baby [Hook] I wanna thank you Heavenly Father For giving this gift to me I've come a long way from cotton candy on the corner To living out my dreams [Verse 1:] I got a dream, was reading XXL Magazine Kanye and Jay-Z up in a limousine On my Facebook textin' Every Saturday listen to Mr. C Funk flexin' But with this dream they wouldn't believe that I write my own rhymes and I'm just thirteen (what?)
