Lyrics
0:21That's when it all changed
0:22See that's was the first time we wanted to get on stage
0:25I was nervous my brother wasn't afraid
0:26We both was at a very young age
0:28Mom and dad worked hard for that 5 dollars an hour minimum wage
0:32They treated our folks like they were slaves
0:34But they did whatever they had to to keep food on the plate
0:37So we made a promise that some how some way
0:40We gon make it up out of this ghetto one day
0:42Maybe cause we were locals
0:44Prolly why promoters felt like we didn't deserve to get paid
0:48We were loved by some hated by many
0:50Years pass growing up now we just met benny
0:53Fan base started growing still wasn't making a penny
0:55That's not even half a mile in my shoes
0:58We became the biggest thing while we were still only in high school
1:01But we ain't settled so right after we graduated we moved
1:04All we've ever wanted to do is get to a better tomorrow
1:15So much in our hearts to prove to get to a better tomorrow
1:47So now we in the mia
1:48Shout out to my cousin oshannah for giving us a place to stay
1:52The homie verse stayed right around the corner with his moms
1:54My uncle trent stayed 20 minutes away so me my brother and verse
1:59Was running through the streets of miami grindin' seeing as tho we couldn't get work
2:02Then a radio battle rap show with big lip
2:05And super cindy was the only way that we got heard
2:08See we skipped college ain't with that blue collar
2:10Was only chasing our dream ain't never chased dollars
2:13And we was on fire when we left st thomas
2:15Went to miami thinking we was gon get more hotter
2:18But that didn't happen at all we knew that we needed to leave
2:21And it was between Atlanta and New York
2:24Then our tickets got bought to come to the a to rock a show
2:27If that wasn't a sign I don't know what it was
2:29So they payed us 350 to perform a club
2:32So we packed up our bags like here we come
2:34And were fresh out of high school still very young
2:37But this was our dream to some we were done
2:40All we've ever wanted to do is get to a better tomorrow
2:51So much in our hearts to prove to get to a better tomorrow
3:22So we went to Atlanta and decided we wasn't gon leave
3:26With 20 dollars in the pocket of some old jeans
3:28Came across a few salesmen that sold dreams
3:31But we wasn't gon quit uh uh by no means
3:33We started meeting with labels and we were laughed at
3:36Like you from an island tryna rap go home please
3:39Started doing talent shows to win money
3:41Just to keep the lights on and bring home a lil groceries
3:44Buzz started growing
3:45Atlanta started showing mad love so we just kept on going
3:49Deals on the table now akon blowing up
3:52And hearing bout us from everybody who know him
3:54Did the deal with konvict then losin' it dropped
3:57Still here standing even after losin' it flopped
4:00They wanted us to sing no rappin' straight pop
4:02And that's just some of the reason why that album ain't dropped
4:05And I ain't tryna get props all I want is my shot
4:08Our chance to blow and probably make it to the top
4:10And at least I can say that we tried if we failed
4:13Plus the fans ain't never cared bout first week sales
4:16All we've ever wanted to do is get to a better tomorrow
4:27So much in our hearts to prove to get to a better tomorrow
