Wrote My Way Out (Remix) Lin-Manuel Miranda (Ft. Black Thought, Joyner Lucas & Royce Da 5'9")

[Chorus: Samples]
"—I wrote my way—"
"—out
Wrote everything down far as I could see"
("Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it—")
"—I wrote my way out"

[Verse 1: Royce Da 5'9" + Royce Da 5'9" & sample]
Uh, they said I wouldn't amount to nothin'
Now I hold the head of he who could give the crown concussion
Fuck it, my new 'vice is stay off my old vices
Even though my new life is gon' cost me my old life
"I wrote my way out" of it, out of that hellhole
Shoes that don't even gotta be tied up, that's velcro
My freedom sittin' on the other side of that cell door
The other side of the track where I'm from like railroads
My daddy slapped the shit out my momma in front of me
Couldn't do shit about it at that time, I was young and weak
All I could do was write a hundred rhymes to a hundred beats
'Bout what I plan to do in spite of what was done to me
"I wrote my way out", out of the poorhouse
Accomplished my goals somehow, I never sold out
I'm a product of Motown and now I'm in the public eye
So if you ever seen me solve a problem before
Just know before I solved a problem
That the problem got wrote down
