Back when I was broke
Nobody gave a fuck
Now that I got bands everybody hit me up
Told them I would make it
They didn't believe it
Sorry you missed out
Now I’m living what I'm dreaming
Back when I was broke
Nobody gave a fuck
Now that I got bands everybody hit me up
Told them I would make it
They didn't believe it
Sorry you missed out
Now I’m living what I'm dreaming
I tried to tell them
They ain't listen to the kid
Now they jealous
Try'na knock me off my shit
Where were you
When I was trying to make a move
Man I knew I had the juice
I ain't never go to school
'Cause I knew that if I believed in myself
That I could make all my dreams turn to wealth
It's too late now
I don’t need your loving
I don’t need support from these niggas
They ain't nothin'
It's too late now, it's too late now
How you try'na show me love
You is fake now
'Cause you ain't never show me nothing back then
Now I got M’s in my bank account, we not friends
Back when I was broke
Nobody gave a fuck
Now that I got bands everybody hit me up
Told them I would make it
They didn't believe it
Sorry you missed out
Now I’m living what I'm dreaming
Back when I was broke
Nobody gave a fuck
Now that I got bands everybody hit me up
Told them I would make it
They didn't believe it
Sorry you missed out
Now I’m living what I'm dreaming
Now they mad
Yeah I know
'Cause they never thought that I would make it here
Now I made more money
Than my teachers in a year
And I got more money
Than them niggas over there
I was homeless as a kid
Now I'm living everywhere
I ain't nothing like these niggas
They ain't working as hard as me
And I took care of the fam
Took 'em out of poverty
And I always knew they hatin'
But it never got to me
'Cause I knew, that I would make it
And I knew, that I'd be famous
Yeah I knew, that I would make it
And now you mad, sitting there hatin'
Back when I was broke
Nobody gave a fuck
Now that I got bands everybody hit me up
Told them I would make it
They didn't believe it
Sorry you missed out
Now I’m living what I'm dreaming
Back when I was broke
Nobody gave a fuck
Now that I got bands everybody hit me up
Told them I would make it
They didn't believe it
Sorry you missed out
Now I’m living what I'm dreaming
