We made so many moves
I believe we drank them all
I was stressed, moms kicked me out my rest
My bitch left me and I was depressed
But tell me how I was most consistent when my life was a mess
I guess that's when I perform best, yes
I had my back against the wall
Sing it, uh, huh, uh, huh, uh, huh, uh, huh
Had my back against the wall
One, two, check it out, yo
There were times life felt so easy, I make it harder on myself
Sabotaged the pursuit of rap wealth, cause cash is dumb whack
I dug myself a hole, just to make a come back
Was writing daily 'til that honey dripper's drum cracked
To the point that when I came out, they thought I was someone else
Ain't planned it like that, but it helps
Remember recoding every week, just to get my tops up
And fools acting like I just popped out (what)
Before I ever made a project, I would go to projects out there getting busy
The fuck was suckas talking 'bout "who is he"
Son they been tryna tell you but you didn't listen, walking contradictions
I made it pop without y'all, I was on a mission
Now herbs come around acting like they made us
They in a state of envy like Vegas, Nevada
Fronting like they true with me, with no soul in the Prada
I been through real shit , man this shit is nada
I was stressed, moms kicked me out my rest
My bitch left me and I was depressed
But tell me how I was most consistent when my life was a mess
I guess that's when I perform best, yes
I had my back against the wall
Sing it, uh, huh, uh, huh, uh, huh, uh, huh
(Nigga, passed out the hall)
(I got my back, I got my back)
Yo, on this road to getting money, I'm just sliding through
Got two whips, two kids, two baby mommas too
Every day a different city I be flying through
This stress gives you gray hairs, I just found a few
Found me a little bad bitch and she 'bout it too
Grinding hard, making sure this bank account is full
Had my back against the wall, fought my way through
Watched a couple cats profit off my wave too
Still running with the same crew, cause I stay true
Term and Statik established 1982
This must be heaven, being a dad plus a legend
I got a seven figure dream, that's a lucky seven
I hit the dutch, exhale, then sip this cup
Tryna take away the pain so I'm liquored up
Listen up, every day you wake is a blessing
That's another twenty-four to grind for this cheddar
Back against the wall
Uh, huh, uh, huh, uh, huh, uh, huh
(Passed out the hall)
My life was a mess, I guess that's when I perform best
(Back against the wall, yeah
Had the back against the wall, oh
Yeah, I got my back, I got my back against the wall)
