[Verse 1: Lil' Flip]
  I thank God everyday for pavin' the way
  Cause he - made me what I am today
  A young entrepenuer wit amazin' talent
  In order to be the best you must take the challenge
  I'm tryin' a be number one cause number two don't matter
  People try to pull you down when you climb the ladder
  Niggaz hate to see you up but they love it when you down
  That's why I'm always quiet when I come around
  Cause - talk is cheap, that's why I rap
  I'm gettin' NBA money wit no salary cap
  Momma, it feel good puttin' money in ya mailbox
  This for my niggaz locked up in the cell blocks
  
  [Chorus: Lil' Flip, Heather Markey] - (Repeat 2X)
  Sun don't shine, that's why I spit these rhymes
  To ease my mnd
  For real, I gotta get away
  
  [Verse 2: Lil' Flip]
  In life (in life), you go through joy and pain
  And when somebody close die, it give you a migraine
  And a whole lot a stress, a whole lot a tears
  Days turn into nights, nights turn into years
  I'm not happy here, I want another atmosphere
  I gotta get away, just to get my mind clear
  That's why I smoke so much, cause it relieve my stress
  Just imagine - everyday I gotta wear my vest
  I gotta watch my back cause niggaz plottin' a jack
  When you see these movin' like crack, you feel that?
  And to my niggaz in jail, you better keep ya head up (keep ya head up)
  To my niggaz in the hood, keep ya bread up
  
  [Chorus: Lil' Flip, Heather Markey] - (Repeat 2X)
  
  [Verse 3: Lil' Flip]
  If I died today, shit, I lived my life
  And if I could do it again, I'd do it twice
  No mo' movin' white or shootin' dice
  Or creepin' late night tryin' a screw ya wife (ha ha ha!)
  Cause I'm a changed man, wit the heart of a lion
  Even if I was a midget, I'd fight a giant
  I never give up (I never give up), I'm from the home of the brave (home of
  the brave)
  I'm still ballin' like +Pac+, from the +Cradle to the Grave+
  
  [Chorus: Lil' Flip, Heather Markey] - (Repeat 3X)
