Homegrown DC - Blessings & Lessons

To go from nothing to something that's different stresses
Take a loss on the way up, that shit expected
Trials and tribulations in life is just a testament
Look at my highs as a blessing and my lows as a lesson
To go from nothing to something that's different stresses
Take a loss on the way up, that shit expected
Trials and tribulations in life is just a testament
Look at my highs as a blessing and my lows as a lesson

Life come at you fast, no time for guessing
Be prepared, stack your paper, start collecting more investments
Thought of many ways to get paid
C-Notes make the motherfucking dream float
Don't get money, get stuck in the weed smoke and broke
With a closet full of shoes and a cheap rope
It ain't about building and ownership, I'm over it
Not knowing what the future hold is sobering
Living check to check will make you go within
Praying you can make it til the money come again
Get you some goals, get on your grind again
Seeing opportunities the best kinda designer lens

To go from nothing to something that's different stresses
Take a loss on the way up, that shit expected
Trials and tribulations in life is just a testament
Look at my highs as a blessing and my lows as a lesson
To go from nothing to something that's different stresses
Take a loss on the way up, that shit expected
Trials and tribulations in life is just a testament
Look at my highs as a blessing and my lows as a lesson

From project hallways and free McDonald's fries
A three bedroom rental with fifteen of us inside
All we had was love and what subsidies could provide
The innocence in our eyes only lasted a little time
A house ran by women, no male in the picture
A diet of fried chicken and whatever you could muster
I couldn't jump to touch the poverty line but didn't suffer
Cuz they gave us all they had and for that I'll forever love em
Surrounded by hustlers, learned the strength of community
Groomed by the realest and got consumed by the remedy
Had the tools to get over, just had to focus my energy
For my future to be better than all of my memories

To go from nothing to something that's different stresses
Take a loss on the way up, that shit expected
Trials and tribulations in life is just a testament
Look at my highs as a blessing and my lows as a lesson
To go from nothing to something that's different stresses
Take a loss on the way up, that shit expected
Trials and tribulations in life is just a testament
Look at my highs as a blessing and my lows as a lesson

Ain't got time for the woe is me shit, the world don't stop running and the bills don't stop Coming. Sometimes you gotta just make a move and risk falling on your face. That don't Make you a failure. Learn from it and use it to take your next step. Make your lessons Turn into blessings
