[Hook]
If i ever get to see the day my music finally rise
I'll probably have to wipe the tears from all these lonely eyes
Then say goodbye, its time to rise, its time to rise, its time to rise
[1st Verse]
I give them song after song music with some lyrics
you know, music with some feeling
but it aint real if it aint drug dealing
and it aint hood if it aint about a killing
Im trying to do some good around my city for these children
but they catch me outside of their school house building
selling work thats worthless to the same children
you a lie you a lie you a lie, you and i
are both trying to board a flight on a fake hype, but hey thats life
My wrongs helped me find rights
rights that lead you to lead people to higher heights
We live a whole different life behind our music life
See we got to make a sell, see what got to make a sell
Even if it lands us in jail, Momma raised us well, Momma raised us well
But some days you can't tell, some days you can't tell
[Hook]
If i ever get to see the day my music finally rise

[2nd Verse]
A broke rapper from Oakland with skills
Struggling with music cause it don't pay the bills
Whats real is not felt or even feel
Trying to play the game on a uneven field
Put a little coke in my flow for a deal
probably sell my soul if it gets my momma mills
wait a minute chill, you way too real
in plus you got what most folk feel
What most folk feel, you got it
you you you you got it
[Hook]2x

[Intro]
We all do wrong and fall short
apologize, you can admit when you do wrong
but aint nothing sorry about you
so you don't have to use the word sorry
love you and those are two of the important things i wanted to share
you know there is lots and lots more son
but that will be on a face to face
Alright love you.... God Bless
[1st Verse]
Its wasn't about becoming famous
It was more like ghetto kids out star gazing
Dreaming of a life thats really amazing
not being stuck in a maze getting high for amazement
Just wanted to help my mona out with a few payments
This aint been money driven its been all for the love
and it aint to many things they've been offering us
but this here is a applause for us
cause we came up, from the back of the bus
and its kinda ironic my spots in the front
I prayed for months and all my days
To finally get the world up on my page
And this that change and I've been stacking some change
And no I'm not noticed for my cars and chains
but that don't mean a thang when u whipped in some chains
Im just happy that i found my way
And to all you little haters trying to ruin my day
You will never be a problem so continue to hate
Its so much love all going to waste
But Thats ok... i got love for days
[Hook: Phyli Watts]
Who knew we would be where we are
Who knew we would be where we are
Cause you hated and we made it
And you watched us while we gained it
Who knew we would be where we are
[2nd Verse]
It wasn't easy getting me here
blood sweat and tears, got looked over by peers
Ten whole years i swear i put in
had big dreams since the age of a kid
But the game aint feel the game that i kicked
So i had to sit it out on the bench
Momma i swear this is it
I'm uh help you out with the rent
matter fact you gone own that shit
and I'm uh buy you that Maybach whip
I can see you saying it now, i don't want that shit
I'm just happy my baby boy finally on his shit
I got my pops in my corner like spit yo shit
I've been waiting so long just to hit this lick
Thank God me and mars aint quit
and thank God me and angelo didn't get hit
when they ran up on us and unloaded the clip
I really lived this shit
[Hook: Phyli Watts]
Who knew we would be where we are
Who knew we would be where we are
Cause you hated and we made it
And you watched us while we gained it
Who knew we would be where we are
