[Verse 1]
I ain't supposed to be nothing but a dope dealer, but a hope killer
Supposed to brag on the guns and the coke kilo's
Dropping molly's in a coke zero
Ashamed of my education, then I'm finally off probation
Then I quit smoking, got a wife and kids and I'm a real father no faking
See I'm a black man who beat them odds
Supposed to be locked up with no job
Never should of went to college or learned who god is
You add it up it's all odd
See I never knew my pop
I been abused, ran from the cops
I went to school high on them crops
Wasn't a thug, never been shot
Running from god man turning my back
Never would of made it, marvin sapp
But he opened up my eyes and I can't look back
While they look surprised, I just took my cap
Yeah he did it, he did it
He changed me and I'm with it
He made me what I'm supposed to be
You get close to me, you might get it

[Interlude]
I'm supposed to be dead or in jail right now
But instead, I'm sharing my gift with the world

[Verse 2]
Now she used to strip at onyx
Working her way through college
Tryna put food in her son's mouth
On a pole for them dollars
She was looking for some solace
Told the lord, I promise... I'm heading to the hills with my heels on
Where the feels ain't a touch to the billfolds
No copping feels from no uncle phil's, just phil jackson coach her
And get her out that game where they losing they dignity for a coach purse
No skirts just -skrr-, found another way around a real worth
And left that fine establishment
It's like her whole life is having a growth spurt
She out the game and they hate it, mad at her she made it
They ain't nothing but some shellfish in a bucket
Probably get crabs if you touch it
Now she graduated from college - scratch that - graduated with honors
Little man got a little cap and gown, look at him matching his mama, yeah!

[Hook]

Congratulations, we beat them odds
Round of applause, round of applause
