They never hesitated to say I'd never make it/
Like it would bring me down... Like I'd be devastated/
You ain't goin' give it to me? I'll go ahead and take it/
So when I blow up, I'ma make you watch me celebrate it/
For now I'm hard at work... These walls get penetrated/
I draw outside the lines... My mind is never gated/
This crazy life of mine, I swear I'd never trade it/
But I've been hurt too many times, I am forever jaded/
But never changing... Forgive, but never forget/
Even though you keep your body tight just like a corset/
I'm with my main chick, but you look badder, you look badder/
But I learned you ain't shit, so you don't matter, you don't matter/
I'm from a city where they love to watch your dreams fade/
Represent the Pack and I ain't really fuck with Green Bay/
Told me that I'd never make it... Couldn't bottle lightning/
Well I'ma put a pipe bomb down my fucking pipe dreams/
And explode... Know I'm destined for the big things/
Desperate for the radio... Destined for the big screen/
No matter how outlandish or crazy that the shit seems/
I remain persistent, I'ma get it... Watch the kid dream/
[Chorus]
Homie, know you wrong if you thinkin' I'ma fall down
They goin' build them walls up, I'ma tear 'em all down/
Tear 'em all down, tear 'em all down/
Tear 'em all down, I'ma tear 'em all down/
Big dreams for a starvin' artist, from a small town/
Lotta' people countin' on me... Scared to let 'em all down/
Won't let 'em all down, won't let 'em all down/
Won't let 'em all down, I won't let 'em all down/
[Verse 2]
New Car representative... Yeah, here we go again/
You thinkin' I'm fadin' out... I think that I'm goin' in/
Brainstorm... Close the windows, I'm 'bout to snow again/
Wipin' my head with the towel that you're throwin' in/
(Whoa) And you know I've been the man from the get-go/
(Whoa) But I still don't got a condo on my wrist though/
Crib for my mom and a whip for my sis, yo/
...That just means I gotta grind until I get dough/
I still think about a message I received when I was torn apart/
Feeling down and out, without a doubt, I had a broken heart/
Don't remember all of it, I wish I did, but know it starts/
With "I'll believe in you no matter how far that we grow apart"/
And I carry your message, and these words like a phone/
Cuz I believe in me... You let me know I'm not alone/
I've grown... I guess I lived and I learned/
And I could set the world ablaze with all the bridges I've burned/
Some friends turned into family, but nothing is stranger/
Than the ones you know and love the most becoming some strangers/
Heart on my sleeve... Today it's still on the hanger/
So if you step in my way, just know you're fucking in danger/
J Dot!/
[Chorus]
Homie, know you wrong if you thinkin' I'ma fall down
They goin' build them walls up, I'ma tear 'em all down/
Tear 'em all down, tear 'em all down/
Tear 'em all down, I'ma tear 'em all down/
Big dreams for a starvin' artist, from a small town/
Lotta' people countin' on me... Scared to let 'em all down/
Won't let 'em all down, won't let 'em all down/
Won't let 'em all down, I won't let 'em all down/
Down/
Down/
Down/
Down/
