[Verse 1: Danny Brown]. 8 balls wit a safety pin. I deserve the finer things. Told myself back then. When I used to ride a Schwinn. Now I'm on a tour bus. Going places I ain't never been. Wrote my rhymes down on a paper bag. That was way back. Having dreams of a Cadillac. Dog I had to bounce back. Locked a nigga up. Why they do me like that?. Now I'm on the Jack in the county. Asking mommy for some money. Swear to God she'd do anything for me. Now we out the hood and the nightmare is us going back. So I won't go to sleep 'til I finish that. Cousin of death anyway. Now I see better day. And I ain't tryna miss a minute second hour. Living on borrowed time. Can't think about tomorrow. 'cause it's about today. And you know you wanna take my place. Let's get it. [Hook: Kelela]. You turn around and now I'm winning. I built it up from the ground. You stay asleep I'm gonna get it. I built it up from the ground. [Verse 2: Danny Brown]. Now tell me would you sacrifice your dreams?. What it takes if you want anything. Got me missing sleep 'cause my mind on the beat. So while I'm counting bars y'all be counting sheep. No cheat sheet get it out the mud. Get it how you live why I'm out here in the field. My nigga wake up wipe the cold out your eyes. It's a cold cold world but even hotter when you die. So no try to do what about you?. Work off well met do the same thing too. A lot locked up wishing they was like you. Got a letter from my nigga saying he be out in June. Been down for a minute and every since sentence. Things ain't been the same so I'm missing my nigga. Staring at the ceiling thinking how far I came. Was trapped in the storm but I made it out the rain. [Hook: Kelela]. You turn around and now I'm winning. I built it up from the ground. You stay asleep I'm gonna get it. I built it up from the ground
