[Intro]

You know, people underestimated me

And making me feel like I'm never gonna amount to shit because I used to be a stripper

It feels like I'm getting whipped in the back, with words

But you know what?

They don't see the bigger picture

I had to feed myself, I had to feed my family

But you know what?

Just here me out



[Verse 1]

Lord forgive me for my sins

Forgive me for the crazy shit I wish I never did

I'm simply just a young hood girl tryna win

I just want it all, and I gon' pretend

Like I ain't never had to suck a dick to pay my rent

I'm tryna get my family out the hood and new cribs

I wanna finish paying my mothers new whip

I do it for a cause, so understand the kid

I want my little girl to go to school in Fort Lee

Schools in the hood, got him crazy, man he three

And it's f**ked that it ain't how it's supposed to be

He should be counting 123's and ABC's

And momma used to beat my ass like every week

That's because she can't have nothing but love for me

I wanna spoil her so much, oh lord please

That's my everything

My everything, my family



[Hook]

You know what?

Even when I was stripping, like bitches was worried 'bout the wrong things

Oh they want red bottoms, they want the biggest cars

Like I'm worried 'bout my father stop cab driving

Before he turn sixty, and my mom stop being a cashier before she fifty like

That's why I'm working so hard out here

That's why I go so hard

Not for me, but for them though

You feel me?



[Verse 2]

Note to self, for my sister Hennessy

Try and go to school, finish up and get degrees

Don't be f**king trick niggas, just so you can eat

That's the shit I did and it really makes me weak

I would close my eyes, dying for it to be over

The thought of a stranger inside, I just can't be sober

Dirty ass breath, breathing all over my shoulders

Ain't no bitch gon' tell you that, just respect the soldier

And I wanna tell my dad, you don't gotta cab

Drive for two whole weeks just to make a stack

You don't gotta drive no more, I'm gon' change all that

I put that on my everything, I'm gon' pray for that



[Outro]

You know when I was a little girl I used to tell my mom

"Hey mom, when I grow up, I'm gonna buy you a house, I'm gonna buy you a car"

Until I turned eighteen, it's like damn, I can't even get me my own apartment

So, it's just like, now that I'm in this position I'm gonna

I'm gonna take full advantage of it

Like oh my gosh, I can't wait till I get to surprise my mom

Like, "Hey, I didn't went to college, but look, look at me mom, look at me now, look, look mom, look, look at your house, This is your house! Not mines, but yours, and I bough it for you!"
