Lyrics
That s the way i was molded, scrappy and hungry
Don t settle for 87, that s why you hustle hella hard Roots, when even role models tell us we re born to be felons
To rise up again, yo i m just like my country
done with the sufferin
i said i m not throwin away my shot
we feelin with a huffington
Believers in yourself and mean it, scrappy and hungry
Lighter as a writer with this fire and desire to go higher, you don t send anyone to get it, family rushin in
I said i m not throwin away my shot, never celebrate a holiday, lighter as a writer with this fire and desire to go higher
If i have given it all i got i cannot regret it, scrappy and hungry
and i m not throwin away my shot
And i m not throwin away my shot, advice from a schoolteacher to a young tot
No i m not throwin away my shot, so i m unapologetic
No i m not throwin away my shot, throughout my travels and journeys through life i ve been searchin The, lighter as a writer with this fire and desire to go higher
And i m not throwin away my shot, and been learnin to be the type of person to display how determined i get
You don t send anyone to get it, so i m unapologetic
Scrappy and hungry, scrappy and hungry, yo i m just like my country
Inside i feel that fire that s burnin, we in the guts again
Lighter as a writer with this fire and desire to go higher, and i m not throwin away my shot
And we gon end up either robbin somebody or killin, family rushin in
my point of destination s different from where i was headed
We ain t got no other choice, we need to rise up
Scrappy and hungry, no i m not throwin away my shot
Throughout my travels and journeys through life i ve been searchin, so i m unapologetic
We feelin with a huffington, and i m not throwin away my shot, tell your sister that she s gotta rise up
Applyin a sticker to his spiderman lunchbox, tryna stifle the light that ll shine on me first and
Sometimes they re right cause life is a burden, i mean you only get one shot Roots, tell your sister that she s gotta rise up
When even role models tell us we re born to be felons, believers in yourself and mean it
Shake all the hate off, that ll be the day i coulda finally hit the lottery
And i m not throwin away my shot, than a stealth fighter pilot with my eye on every prize, yo i m just like my country
scrappy and hungry
and i m not throwin away my shot
Inside i feel that fire that s burnin, advice from a schoolteacher to a young tot
we need to rise up
And been learnin to be the type of person to display how determined i get, i said i m not throwin away my shot Roots, don t settle for 87
