Verse 1:
Back when i was younger used to bicker over little shit
Asking mom and pop why we never get the finer things
Jealousy was the way that i would always be
Seeing all my homies with all them fancy things
And thinking in my mind
When i get older ima define
MY STORY with the glory of the finer things cool whip designer shit and anything i thought i need
But the reality growing older that shit meant nothing to me
Im just tryna feed the family and my team gon have it thats gon be on me
We gon really shine like diamonds old navy fit on god that be priceless
Ima really do it yall cant stop me ima get it thats regardless
See this the mission and the vision to be a better me
Back then used to hate how they would taunt on me
But aint none of that matters
just keeping food up in my platter
Yall gon see that
Hook:
And this is really how it be ima be a better me yall gon def see that haah
Verse 2:
And i see it everyday they ask me how i a pave my way
I say that the struggle is my push for them better days
Gotta hustle gotta push wont let them get in my way
And ima do it my way
Ima do it my way
I dont really care what yall say say
Yall gon keep that chitter chatter
Blitter blabber
But the matter of fact is
I was born into this struggle 1st born generation pops already facing a lifes disaster every single day i know he gets a lil madder
Cannot take care of himself
Cuz theres a war inside himself
And Wish that i could help
wish that i can take the pain away
Wish that he could talk and walk the same the strongest in my team
Pops just always best believe that your struggle was never a trouble but the trouble youve faced just to get us in the states
ima push and shove
just to set our stories straight
let them know the filipino immigrant way
