[Chorus:] Tell me what do you see When you looking at me (woooahhhh) On a mission to be What I'm destined to be (woooahhhh) I've done been through the pain and the sorrow The struggle is nothing but love (nothing but love) I'm a soldier, a rider, a ghetto survivor, And all the above All the above [x7]
[Verse 1:] Really what do you see When you looking at me See me come up from nothing To me living my dreams I had been to the bottom I had suffered a lot I deserve to be rich Heading straight to the top Look how I rep for the block Look how I rep for the hood I get nothing but love Now that I come through the hood Getting this fortunate fate Why leave that gold on this chain The new Benz is all white Call it John McCain How the hell could you stop me Why in the world would you try I go hard forever that's just how I'm designed That's just how I was built See the look in my eyes You take all of this from me And I'm still gon' survive You get truth from me But these rappers gon' lie I'm a part of these streets Til' the day that I die I way hotter than hatters Mad that I finally done made it Take a look and you can tell That I'm destined for greatness
[Chorus:] Tell me what do you see When you looking at me (woooahhhh) On a mission to be What I'm destined to be (woooahhhh) I've done been through the pain and the sorrow The struggle is nothing but love (nothing but love) I'm a soldier, a rider, a ghetto survivor, And all the above All the above [x7]
[Verse 2:] It's easy to hate It's harder to love me Ya'll don't understand Ya'll quickly to judge me Put your foot in my nikes Picture you livin in my life Picture you stuck in a cell Picture you wasting your life Picture you facing a charge Picture you beating the odds Picture you willing to bleed Picture you wearing the scars Thank you for making me struggle Thank you for making me grind I perfected my hustle Tell me the world ain't mine If you ain't seen me lately I'm a miracle baby I refuse to lose This is what the ghetto done made me I put that on my father Tryna hope for tomorrow When I think that I can't I invision Obama I invision the diamonds I invision ferarris If the world was perfect All my niggas behind me Ain't you happy I made it That I'm making this statement Take a look and you can tell That I'm destined for greatness
[Chorus:] Tell me what do you see When you looking at me (woooahhhh) On a mission to be What I'm destined to be (woooahhhh) I've done been through the pain and the sorrow The struggle is nothing but love (nothing but love) I'm a soldier, a rider, a ghetto survivor, And all the above All the above [x7]
[Verse 3:] Now we gon talk on this spot (spot) Or if I'm out on the block (block) I hustle hard causes it's all the same (they know, they know) And you know that grind don't stop Just causs I rose to the top (top) And everybody knows my name (they know, they know) Ayyy, still grinding (still grinding) Still hustling (still hustleing) No more pain (no more pain) No more sufferering (no more sufferering) My ladys and my shorties And my thugs keep that task And that shine and the love (yes) And all the above All the above [x12]
