[Verse 1: Danny Brown]
8 balls with a safety pin
I deserve the finer things
Told myself back then when I used to ride a Schwinn
Now I'm on a tour bus going places I ain't never been
Wrote my rhymes down on a paper bag
That was way back
Having dreams of a Cadillac
Dog, I had to bounce back
Locked a nigga up, why they do me like that?
Now I'm on the jack in the county asking mommy for some money
Swear to God she'd do anything for me
Now we out the hood and the nightmare is us going back
So I won't go to sleep 'til I finish that
Cousin of death anyway
Now I see better day
Miss a minute, second, hour
Living on borrowed time, can't think about tomorrow
'Cause it's 'bout today
And you know you wanna take my place
Let's get it
[Chorus: Kelela]
You turn around and now I'm winning
I built it up from the ground
You stay asleep, I'm gonna get it
I built it up from the ground
8 balls with a safety pin
I deserve the finer things
Told myself back then when I used to ride a Schwinn
Now I'm on a tour bus going places I ain't never been
Wrote my rhymes down on a paper bag
That was way back
Having dreams of a Cadillac
Dog, I had to bounce back
Locked a nigga up, why they do me like that?
Now I'm on the jack in the county asking mommy for some money
Swear to God she'd do anything for me
Now we out the hood and the nightmare is us going back
So I won't go to sleep 'til I finish that
Cousin of death anyway
Now I see better day
Miss a minute, second, hour
Living on borrowed time, can't think about tomorrow
'Cause it's 'bout today
And you know you wanna take my place
Let's get it
[Chorus: Kelela]
You turn around and now I'm winning
I built it up from the ground
You stay asleep, I'm gonna get it
I built it up from the ground
