Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
I ain't scared to grind I'm finna eat by any means 
Before they strip my life away, I'm finna make it rain
Used to hurt my feelings, now I'm bout to spit this pain 
Used to ride the bus, but now I'm on that money train 
Image in my brain, like I'm Martin Luther King
Nigga
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
Get that money for the family, I go to the extreme

Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
I ain't scared to grind I'm finna eat by any means 
Before they strip my life away, I'm finna make it rain
Used to hurt my feelings, now I'm bout to spit this pain 
Used to ride the bus, but now I'm on that money train 
Image in my brain, like I'm Martin Luther King
Nigga
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
Get that money for the family, I go to the extreme 
  
The world turned a blind eye to me
Deaf to the hate
But I ain't disabled 
I'm just doing what I'm able 
Most of what I did was dreams to me
But I'm still dreaming 
But your boy ain't sleeping 
I just bring them checks in 
But I barely break even
Tryna see the positive 
My bank account on negative 
And I'm just tryna live
Tryna upgrade my lifestyle 
Off of albums and freestyles
But first I gotta get my money right
Because even though my shit sounds tight
I can't afford studio time or the mixes
Feels like you need a Ferrari to drive the road to the riches 
And I'll be damned if a nigga starts a Gofundme 
Cuz I done showed love and not once did niggas try to go fund me
I drop my music that shit barely do numbers 
He started rapping yesterday, he got the song of the summer 
I'm on the gram, 
He on stage, ladies hands on his chest
Meanwhile, I'm stuck tryna study for a test
That makes me heated sometimes 
And sometimes
I think bout quitting this shit
Then I remember all the times they said I wouldn't be shit
So then I take my pen and pad
Think bout mom and dad
And how I owe it to my fam
To give this everything I have 
But I'm just

Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
I ain't scared to grind I'm finna eat by any means 
Before they strip my life away, I'm finna make it rain
Used to hurt my feelings, now I'm bout to spit this pain 
Used to ride the bus, but now I'm on that money train 
Image in my brain, like I'm Martin Luther King
Nigga
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
Get that money for the family, I go to the extreme

Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
I ain't scared to grind I'm finna eat by any means 
Before they strip my life away, I'm finna make it rain
Used to hurt my feelings, now I'm bout to spit this pain 
Used to ride the bus, but now I'm on that money train 
Image in my brain, like I'm Martin Luther King
Nigga
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
Get that money for the family, I go to the extreme

And I remember 
Cold nights, past the winter 
Life full of L's 
I'm just trying to be a winner 
Cuz bodies in my city be dropping way past the winter 
And them bullets even hitting the kids, like f*ck a filter 
Gah damn
That's the type of shit that makes you say f*ck Uncle Sam
Put us in conditions where it's death or go to jail 
Price on a black man's life must be on sale
Tryna sell my bros to heaven or hell
All them late nights I prayed for opportunities 
Tryna give back to my community 
And they don't even f*ck with me
Support is nonexistent 
It ain't bout how we all gone make, it's bout who's gone make it
My nigga that's some bullshit
I'm tired of my average being average
Time in this jungle really turned me to a savage 
And I ain't got no team, so I'm the only one I manage
Like ima manage
Even after life does some damage to my ego
And my confidence 
I make decisions and always accept the consequence
Never move with incompetence 
But 
At this point, I'm finding words that rhyme 
In due time I hope they peep my grind
I tell these niggas that I'm 

Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
I ain't scared to grind I'm finna eat by any means 
Before they strip my life away, I'm finna make it rain
Used to hurt my feelings, now I'm bout to spit this pain 
Used to ride the bus, but now I'm on that money train 
Image in my brain, like I'm Martin Luther King
Nigga
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
Get that money for the family, I go to the extreme

Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
I ain't scared to grind I'm finna eat by any means 
Before they strip my life away, I'm finna make it rain
Used to hurt my feelings, now I'm bout to spit this pain 
Used to ride the bus, but now I'm on that money train 
Image in my brain, like I'm Martin Luther King
Nigga
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
Get that money for the family, I go to the extreme
