Anthem

[Intro: Big Sean] Told you, told you, told you, told you Anthem (Anthem) For me, for me, told you Anthem (Anthem) For me, for me, told you Anthem (Anthem) For me, for me, like in King Drive, King Drive (Ayy, ayy) [Verse 1: Big Sean] Why would I ever trip on my spot when I earned it? Y'all lacking discernment They prolly gon' talk about tonight at the next sermon Difference is you do it on purpose, and me, I do it for a purpose Just know as long as I'm up, that it's never your turn then Look, they must've forgot that I'm my daddy's son (Woah) And if I'm after him, they have to run, okay, you had a run Difference is we the ones that run it Discipline is the difference 'tween who got it and who want it They rather count me out than count me in Always count on me, y'all boy's counterfeit They rolling with the punches, boy, I countered it Y'all really judging me and I can't honor it See, I was born in the ashes so of course I rise I'm in that state of mind, for real, y'all just borderline I wake up to look inside my daughter eyes And realize I'm immortalized [Chorus: Big Sean & EST Gee] Born in the ashes so of course I rise There's diamonds on my gold They must've forgot that I'm my daddy's son (Whoa) We the ones that run it Born in the ashes so of course I rise There's diamonds on my gold They must've forgot that I'm my daddy's son (Whoa) We the ones that run it (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) [Verse 2: EST Gee] I been under fire so long, but heat made a shiner out of coal There's diamonds on my gold Loyalty take a toll on my soul but I can't fold Red snow made my heart cold Up close on his clothes like I'm tryna scan a barcode Then he hit the gas, pipe sound like Pop Smoke I wasn't nervous or nothin', I seen it and locked in on Come from where a hot stove could heat up your house cold Can’t buy tobacco but head of his household Pack crumbs stale faced, they all say he act wrong Survivor's over tap phone, hit up his back bone You gotta know the trap code, don't run 'til the pack gone Fighting for my life or choose to end up a sad song, yeah (Stop, stop) Fighting for my life or choose to end up a sad song, yeah (Stop, stop)
