lyrics

VERSE I:
To the cats that came before me
Thank you for paving the way
Thank you for pressing record buttons
and letting it play

Now I got something to say
Anybody with me, let’s go
Everybody else, get outta the way

Speed it up to the day before the days my folks moved to The Bay
Mom lived in the projects, dead broke just trying to make a way
Financial aid and loans
trying to make it on her own

Pops came from the country
served his country
now his country’s gone crazy

They had some babies
Dedicated everything they had and prayed daily
Sent me to private schools instead of getting that Mercedes
Hated uniforms, but damn, I loved the ladies....anyway

Any way they could improve our chances
for advancement
they would chance it

so I can’t just say I’m sorry for being what I’ve become
I’m proud of my folks
and yeah, I’m proud of where I’m from
PREP SCHOOL COLLEGE ALUM yall
and I’m not sorry

CHORUS:
See I don’t give a damn about what’s been done before
and I’m not
I know I say a lot of things that you don’t understand
but I’m not
See I’m just doing what the f*ck I’m supposed to do
no I’m not
No autotune in the booth
delivering yall the truth
I know I missed a couple notes on the hook yall
but I’m not sorry

VERSE II:
My fourth grade teacher told me
I would never be shyt
My eight grade teacher told my mom
That she should just quit
My high school dean
Said that I probably wouldn’t graduate
Belief in self is all that matters
So forget the hate

No matter the status or accomplishments
We make it
Just stay true to self
And take it a day at a time

Whether or not,
I make it in rhyme
I know, I’m gon’ be fine
I work hard and stay on the grind
For that I’m not sorry
