Just three brothers and his mother grew up struggling in the system

Though moms was struggling she was hustling going to school and stacking bread

Tryna make sure that her babies don't make it out this city dead

Income taxes in the mattress she was planning it ahead

Project living for many years thought this shit would never end

Then one day she caught a break moved her kids up out this place

That bread she stacked up in that mattress finna finally set em straight
