[Intro]
(N-16)

[Verse 1]
Grateful
N***as gotta be more grateful
Thankful
Just to eat up at this table
Chances
Shit was scary, had to take 'em
Ooh, some changes
Can't have 'em 'round if they can't make 'em, uh
Your back achin' from them carpet sleeps
Duckin' one time, tryna dodge the streets
But same time, tryna find the beef
But syrup sandwich what you had to eat
Had to dig deep when I was on this beat
This just the life for me

[Chorus]
I keep it pimpin' on my end
Conquered my fears as a youngin
They on the outside looking in
They don't know 'bout the crying
All the spinnin' and violence
Sad to go say I'm behind it
Sad to go say I'm behind it
[Interlude: Nipsey Hussle]
I don't feel comfortable
Unless I know I went above and beyond with my preparation
The things that possibly could happen
If I ain't take real steps to prevent those things, I'm not comfortable

[Verse 2]
Real grinding, real patience, real timing
Motivation, Duval, I'll be its finest
I set goals, stood by 'em, achieved 'em all
Never condoned or been a part of sucker shit at all
Some n***as switched, some n***as fake, some n***as changed up
But them be lessons I was taught, so I can't blame much
This trigger finger still clutch on this nine tucked
Boy, I really came from nothing, still can't give it up

[Chorus]
I keep it pimpin' on my end
Conquered my fears as a youngin
They on the outside looking in
They don't know 'bout the crying
All the spinnin' and violence
Sad to go say I'm behind it
Sad to go say I'm behind it
