I grew up in the gutter, ain't no sunshine Had to hustle every day, just to get mine Momma working double shifts, trying to pay bills Daddy on the corner, popping pills Living in the projects, where the streets cold Had to watch my back, just to stay bold Strapped up with the heat, ready for war Survival of the fittest, that's what it's for Lost a few homies to the game, that's the price Had to make a choice, had to roll the dice Now I'm stacking paper, living lavish But I still remember where I came from, never average My life ain't easy, but I'm still standing tall Got scars on my body, but I never fall 21 Savage, I'm the king of the streets My life story, told in these beats.
