[Chorus]
How I make it through the pitfalls, man, a n*gga did it from within
(How I make it through the pitfalls, man, a n*gga did it from within)
Through the trials and the tribulations, man, a n*gga did it from within
(Throwing dirt on my name but my soul clean, did it from within)
Throwing dirt on my name but my soul clean, did it from within
(How I make it through the pitfalls, man, a n*gga did it from within)
No matter how I go out know a n*gga did it straight from within
(Throwing dirt on my name but my soul clean, did it from within)
How I make it through the pitfalls, man, a n*gga did it from within
[Verse]
Cataracts, they vision blurred, I’m blacking out
I never thought I’d be in this position
When a n*gga was just stuck in submission
Feeling like nobody would ever listen
No more defense, I’m attacking now
The whole D.LX snapping now
Why you tryna steal my old sh*t?
The sounds finally left the orbit
Oh sh*t, they know the floor list
Pushing the gas pedal, yeah I floored it, uh
Guaranteed by the end of the year
A n*gga make it on the Forbes list, uh
Now I’m dropping Burnin’ Castles, New Tier
The Hero sh*t is coming up next
I always had to trust the process
While these other rappers spitting nonsense
A lot of n*ggas are unconscious
Just be cautious, me & Pusha are top threats
You thought you had it, check the context
I’m eating beats, it’s time to digest
Digress, I never took a bypass
Running this sh*t till the arms sore
Running this sh*t to the damn core
You claim that you want it, I want it more
Wonder how life would be without me
I guess we never may find out
When I drop my next album, n*gga
Guarantee the state blackout
Guarantee the world stakeout
Guarantee I save the game now
I came in with my black skin
Then I’m back in
Then I blacked out
[Bridge]
How I make it through the pitfalls, man, a n*gga did it from within
Through the trials and the tribulations, man, a n*gga did it from within
Throwing dirt on my name but my soul clean, did it from within
No matter how I go out know a n*gga did it from within
[Chorus]
(How I make it through the pitfalls, man, a n*gga did it from within)
Through the trials and the tribulations, man, a n*gga did it from within
(Throwing dirt on my name but my soul clean, did it from within)
Throwing dirt on my name but my soul clean, did it from within
(How I make it through the pitfalls, man, a n*gga did it from within)
No matter how I go out know a n*gga did it straight from within
(Throwing dirt on my name but my soul clean, did it from within)
How I make it through the pitfalls, man, a n*gga did it from within
