Boss Gravy - Gave It My All

I just don't understand how niggas expect shit to get handed to them
All the years I put in for this shit, and you want me to give you the game for free
You don't understand the journey
And if you really want this shit, you gon' put in the work for it
Point blank
Let's get it
The game is to be sold, not told
I may take long, but I never fold
I've been chasing this music shit for years
I done shed blood, I shed so many tears
A lot of money spent and went down the drain
Went broke more than once, you couldn't fathom pain
My parents ain't believe in none of my dreams
Convert the energy to fuel and use it as steam
Putting out shit for niggas not to hear it
I got discouraged, but it never broke my spirit
I kept going and I never gave up
Now you forced to watch a nigga make his mark on the way up
The countless times that it got dark, but I stayed up
Got on my knees, had to thank God, and I prayed up
Y'all don't understand the losses that I took
I kept it on the hush and I kept it on the shush, man
I gave this shit my all
Gave this shit my soul
Listen to the pain of a story never told
Gave this shit my all
Gave this shit my soul
Listen to the pain of a story never told
All them drives to Brooklyn paying tolls
(Shout out Stokes)
All them hours spent over the road
Making songs while I drove in my truck
This shit came from hard work, no luck
Showcases that I lost that were rigged
Losing jobs and booking new gigs
Credit card bills ran up and done
To keep going when you know you the one
I had some major wins, but I took L's
Had to push through adversity as well
Stead fast in pursuing my goals
I'm in this shit for life, dog, on my soul
I'ma execute, gotta demonstrate
Discipline and faith put you in the right place
Hard work pays off and we gon' make a toast
I want it the most, ain't nobody coming close, man
I gave this shit my all
Gave this shit my soul
Listen to the pain of a story never told
Gave this shit my all
Gave this shit my soul
Listen to the pain of a story never told
