Humble Beginnings

[Verse 1]

Count up the bands, count up the digits

All of us died‚ now all of us livin' (All of us livin'‚ yeah)

I pimped out my ride‚ call me Xzibit (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I am a man from humble beginnings

Outside Detroit‚ where it's cold and rigid (Brr)

You won't be caught if they catch you slippin' (No, no, no)

Family back home‚ my family I'm missin' (Family I'm missin', yeah)

They livin' good like they gettin' commission

They gettin' commission, oh, yeah

Yeah, I'm feelin' good, I'm feelin' right

Stopped smokin' weed but I'm takin' a drag

Think of my pops and where we was at

Whippin' the Grand and it's all that we had

Place-to-pace, facin' eviction

I was like Raven, man, I had the vision

Picture me here, I picture me winnin'

Now I'm in the top floor, I'm smilin', I'm grinnin'

[Chorus]

Can't believe that we made it

Can't believe that we made it

We was broke, we was breakin'

Now I'm here and I'm stayin'

Can't believe that we made it

Can't believe that we made it

We was broke, we was breakin'

Now I'm here and I'm...

[Verse 2]

Countin' the bands, countin' the digits

Wasn't born rich, wasn't born privileged

Lebanese blood, I was born ambitious (I was born ambitious)

My pops told me, "If you want it, go get it"

You gotta go get it, yeah, yeah

Yeah, I been goin' hard, stayin' hot like the summer

You know I take my chance, I might never get another

Blinded to the hate, like my name is Stevie Wonder

Do it for the fam and the fans and my brothers

'Member Cherry Hill, Canton Center on the bus

Center kept me goin' like a voice from above

Knew that I was destined, man, I knew that I was touched

In my head was conversations that I knew should be discussed

Jumped like seven years, now I've turned into a star

Livin' in my dream, oh, man, I bought my dream car

Realizin', man nothin' doesn't make you who you are

'Cause money buys designer shit to wear over you scars

Damn, money buys designer shit to wear over you scars

Grateful for it all, but my wealth is in my heart

When they tell me that I made it, thought I made it from the start

[Chorus]

Can't believe that we made it (I can't believe, can't believe)

Can't believe that we made it (I can't believe)

We was broke, we was breakin' (Breakin', breakin')

Now I'm here and I'm stayin'

Can't believe that we made it (Yeah, yeah)

Can't believe that we made it (I can't believe, I can't believe)

We was broke, we was breakin' (I can't believe)

Now I'm here and I'm...
