Johne Dope - What It Took

Y'all don't understand what it took just to get here
I bled a lot of blood
Shed a lot of sweat
Cried a lot of tears
Fought all of my fears
Just to get here
It took a lot of pain
It took a lot of rain
It took a lot away
It took everything
So I hope you're proud of me
Said I hope you're proud me
Cuz this is what it took
No
Ya'll don't understand what it took
Growing up on them devilish streets
I was too ambitious to succeed
I got knocked down about a hundred times
But a hundred and one I got back on my feet
Never stay down who would I be
And just the other day they took a brotha
Eye for an eye one day I'm gonna get that motherfucka
I've been walking through the shadows for awhile
Shattered to my core but I won't ever let them take my smile
They tried to block my shine they were jealous of my glow
Brightened up my shine I made them jealous even more
I ain't settling for shit I want motherfucking more
Y'all don't understand what it took just to get here
I bled a lot of blood
Shed a lot of sweat
Cried a lot of tears
Fought all of my fears
Just to get here
It took a lot of pain
It took a lot of rain
It took a lot away
It took everything
So I hope you're proud of me
Said I hope you're proud me
Cuz this is what it took
No
Ya'll don't understand what it took
Been running in the game for a minute
They told me go get it
So I'm focused on just winning
I'm going in hour after hour
Even if it's after hours
I'm just putting in these hours
Cuz I've been down before
But I rose up out the ashes when the heavy rains poured
Coming back is a for sure
This a calling that I can not ignore
For it all I'll go to war
Cuz I'm out for everything that I never had before
I got fire in my soul
That's why I'm walking through the cold
Feel that fire in my bones
Like I'm stepping on some coals
Fuck the pain I gotta keep on moving forward
It's them dreams that I'm gravitating toward
I got everybody that's been with me since the go
I promise all my homies we gon make it out
I promise all my family we gon make it out
And I know that we gon be ok inside my mind there's not a single doubt
