[Chorus: Adrian Truth]
Your world can get flipped upside-down
Ten toes remain, I keep it G
Never been known for the hand-outs
Chin up, chest out, it's all on me
But now I'm elevated
I made it, quit hatin
But now I'm elevated
I made it

[JL]
Ay, life is unpredictable and unapologetic
Hustlin's habitual, winnin is not genetic
Strugglin is hectic, without it just not as epic
I keep one expression like too much collagen got injected
Never let 'em see me sweat, I've been but I won't show 'em stress
I don't think there is anything about bein broke I'll miss
Strange in everything, I'm a soldier, I'm a chauvinist
Ten toes down with my chin up, pokin out my chest
No regrets (nah) no sympathy, no charity
Put every word and then carefully fully aware that our word is our therapy
Niggaz be lookin like "Seriously, how did he do it?" Come up with conspiracies
I get a moment of clarity, I can do more when my momma and them carry me
Even if I took a L straight, I'll still never be a loser
From the bottom of the bottom makin lemonade I keep a lemon juicer
People tell me I'm a god to 'em, not too +Odd+ but the +Future+
Talkin to a sucka nigga, he would say that I ain't actin like I used to
But I know

[Emilio Rojas]
Yeah, yeah
A lot of the homies are dead, lot of the homies are dead
We doin it all for the bread, doin it all for the bread
I'm dealin with all of this stress, gettin it off of my chest
All that we want is success, and we never settle for less, nah
Yeah, my manager died, look at the bad I survive
Ain't nobody helpin my momma, we waitin on dad to arrive
It's easy to get a girl pregnant, it take a man to provide
I'm keepin my feet on the ground, I got my hands in the sky
Tryin to pray to a god that I've never met, livin with sin
is better than tryin to live with all the regret from what that I did
I cover the scars and tats all on my skin
But please don't get it confused of where I'm goin and where I've been (yo let 'em know man!)
I've been around the globe and then back again, did a lot for a little hood Latin kid
Earned it all was never handed shit so my reputation's immaculate
New York to Los Angeles, no fuck shit, I handle it
Anything that I wanna have, I ain't askin for it, I'm grabbin it

[Chorus] - 2X

[Joey Cool]
I'm the product of what happens to you
when you wear your heart up on a sleeve as if it's tatted on you
I done pissed so many people off I took sabbaticals
And that's what happens, we're not happy and you all irrational
Had to summon up the powers of the supernatural
Goin a hundred miles an hour down destruction avenue
Drinkin my Jack and smokin sour in a fuckin Malibu with an attitude
But that's just what a chaos addict do, everybody mad at you
I was drinkin every day and every weekend
Like a fish up in the deep end of the ocean, on my shoulders sat a demon
Every time I thought I'd leave him he'd just tell me that I need him
He was just tryin to make it even, for some reason I believed him
I'm a Libra so I understood the balance he was seekin
I'm 'bout to raise the challenge to you, J they really ain't competin
This what they want, guess I'ma have to comply, it's just like takin a beatin
Y'all gotta go, we finna tell you goodbye, no really we just had to meet ya

[Krizz Kaliko]
Yeah, now how can I just keep it to myself when I'm
eatin sandwiches but I'm lookin at a steak dinner?
Is it impossible for me to get optimal oculars
on my poppin composition when you a bread winner?
OOH! Maybe if I was like this then I'm COOL
People would love me with strangers I'm THROUGH
But I be vacatin, games playin like PlayStation
They takin aim so lames be patient, it's painstakin (OK!)
Movin a product even in the digital world, I'm feelin invisible
I think about it like I'm gettin rid of a girl that's makin me miserable
But I adjust and I don't pay it no mind
I'm built for this on stilts and my bitches be fine
It's like I'm mental, be gentle
The ten toes is just a memento of what I do to instrumentals
Fresher than a pre-teen that's full of pimples
Ain't got no floss, menthol, polar bear with peppermint claws
Fuck y'all

[Chorus] - 2X
