[Verse 1: MC Lyte]
From the gutter, born to a single mother, an anomaly
She prayed no one could ever bring harm by stopping me
We suffered through tears and years of having nothing
'Til I got wise and opened up my eyes and made something
Some on the sidelines like, "Oh, she getting over"
Marblе from vinyl tile, Jaguars from Novas
So now I live the lifе that most don't even know of
Flying high and some of y'all still dusting off your shoulders
They sit and wonder why, tryna understand
Five thousand square feet from a pork and a bean stand
New York is the key, man, where I used to see scams
I'm quick to peep whether he's an opp or a weed man
They got us caught in a maze, keep us busy to the grave
With what we crave, that entertainment craze
I was one of them, locked in the devil's den
Now I'm free to speak the truth and it ain't no settling
