[Verse 2]
Came up from the bottom
Used to share a room with my sisters and my brothers
Five to a bed, we was in there sharing covers
Grew up in the hood with my mama and grandmother
At least we had each other
I was sad at the bottom, I was S-A-D
Now I’m bad, everybody wanna flick up with me (Ayy)
I was sad, I was down, I was covered in defeat
Now everybody from my town play my songs on repeat (Let’s go)
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope your dreams work out for you (Oh)
I hope your green comes out the blue (Oh)
I hope you learn to love again
Yeah, I hope you learn to trust the plan
Yeah, I hope the world shows up for you
I hope they never laugh at you
I hope you learn to love again

[Verse 3]
Mm, boy, put it on me now
Tell me, I’m the baddest that you ever been around
Tell me, I’m the realest from the “Old Town”
Celebrate my wins with some gunshot sounds
Dance wit’ me, baby (Come on, baby)
Buss it, roll it, b-b-buss it, roll it
When you see me strutting down the town, I can’t control it (Ooh)
When you see me out here making waves in the ocean (Ooh)
Know I put in work for this motherfucking motion
I did
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope your dreams work out for you (Oh)
I hope your green comes out the blue (Oh)
I hope you learn to love again
Yeah, I hope you learn to trust the plan
Yeah, I hope the world shows up for you
I hope they never laugh at you
I hope you learn to love again
[Chorus]
I’m a champion (Woah, woah)
I’m a champion (Woah-woah-woah)
