| [00:21.21] |
That's when it all changed |
| [00:22.28] |
See that's was the first time we wanted to get on stage |
| [00:25.15] |
I was nervous my brother wasn't afraid |
| [00:26.92] |
We both was at a very young age |
| [00:28.65] |
Mom and dad worked hard for that 5 dollars an hour minimum wage |
| [00:32.25] |
They treated our folks like they were slaves |
| [00:34.22] |
But they did whatever they had to to keep food on the plate |
| [00:37.45] |
So we made a promise that some how some way |
| [00:40.10] |
We gon make it up out of this ghetto one day |
| [00:42.90] |
Maybe cause we were locals |
| [00:44.01] |
Prolly why promoters felt like we didn't deserve to get paid |
| [00:48.23] |
We were loved by some hated by many |
| [00:50.76] |
Years pass growing up now we just met benny |
| [00:53.46] |
Fan base started growing still wasn't making a penny |
| [00:55.99] |
That's not even half a mile in my shoes |
| [00:58.05] |
We became the biggest thing while we were still only in high school |
| [01:01.24] |
But we ain't settled so right after we graduated we moved |
| [01:04.42] |
All we've ever wanted to do is get to a better tomorrow |
| [01:15.10] |
So much in our hearts to prove to get to a better tomorrow |
| [01:47.03] |
So now we in the mia |
| [01:48.81] |
Shout out to my cousin oshannah for giving us a place to stay |
| [01:52.05] |
The homie verse stayed right around the corner with his moms |
| [01:54.82] |
My uncle trent stayed 20 minutes away so me my brother and verse |
| [01:59.03] |
Was running through the streets of miami grindin' seeing as tho we couldn't get work |
| [02:02.90] |
Then a radio battle rap show with big lip |
| [02:05.43] |
And super cindy was the only way that we got heard |
| [02:08.07] |
See we skipped college ain't with that blue collar |
| [02:10.80] |
Was only chasing our dream ain't never chased dollars |
| [02:13.05] |
And we was on fire when we left st thomas |
| [02:15.90] |
Went to miami thinking we was gon get more hotter |
| [02:18.48] |
But that didn't happen at all we knew that we needed to leave |
| [02:21.84] |
And it was between Atlanta and New York |
| [02:24.24] |
Then our tickets got bought to come to the a to rock a show |
| [02:27.40] |
If that wasn't a sign I don't know what it was |
| [02:29.46] |
So they payed us 350 to perform a club |
| [02:32.05] |
So we packed up our bags like here we come |
| [02:34.81] |
And were fresh out of high school still very young |
| [02:37.91] |
But this was our dream to some we were done |
| [02:40.44] |
All we've ever wanted to do is get to a better tomorrow |
| [02:51.09] |
So much in our hearts to prove to get to a better tomorrow |
| [03:22.75] |
So we went to Atlanta and decided we wasn't gon leave |
| [03:26.07] |
With 20 dollars in the pocket of some old jeans |
| [03:28.59] |
Came across a few salesmen that sold dreams |
| [03:31.37] |
But we wasn't gon quit uh uh by no means |
| [03:33.86] |
We started meeting with labels and we were laughed at |
| [03:36.39] |
Like you from an island tryna rap go home please |
| [03:39.45] |
Started doing talent shows to win money |
| [03:41.30] |
Just to keep the lights on and bring home a lil groceries |
| [03:44.40] |
Buzz started growing |
| [03:45.65] |
Atlanta started showing mad love so we just kept on going |
| [03:49.77] |
Deals on the table now akon blowing up |
| [03:52.80] |
And hearing bout us from everybody who know him |
| [03:54.83] |
Did the deal with konvict then losin' it dropped |
| [03:57.50] |
Still here standing even after losin' it flopped |
| [04:00.21] |
They wanted us to sing no rappin' straight pop |
| [04:02.76] |
And that's just some of the reason why that album ain't dropped |
| [04:05.35] |
And I ain't tryna get props all I want is my shot |
| [04:08.11] |
Our chance to blow and probably make it to the top |
| [04:10.93] |
And at least I can say that we tried if we failed |
| [04:13.64] |
Plus the fans ain't never cared bout first week sales |
| [04:16.32] |
All we've ever wanted to do is get to a better tomorrow |
| [04:27.09] |
So much in our hearts to prove to get to a better tomorrow |
