Lyrics
[verse]
Back when I had nothing, wasn't a single friend around
Now that I made it, everybody claiming that they're from my town
Back then nobody called my phone or knew my name
Now the same folks swear they knew me way before the fame
Funny how the story changes when the money starts to flow
Same girl who wouldn't look at me is blowing up my phone
Same crew who laughed and doubted me is asking for a favor
Back then they judged the flavor, now they love the flavor
[chorus]
Back then you didn't want me
Now I'm hot, you all about me
Back then you turned away
Now you're begging me to stay
Funny how it all changed
Since a little bread came my way
[verse]
I remember sleeping rough and counting every single dime
Grinding through the winters, chasing daylight every time
Nobody was checking for me, nobody thought I'd rise
Now they front like they believed it, tell the same old lies
I ain't bitter, just remembering where I used to stand
Every step I took to get here, took it on my own two hands
So when you see me smiling now, know I earned this every day
Back then you didn't want me, now look what you gotta say
[chorus]
Back then you didn't want me
Now I'm hot, you all about me
Back then you turned away
Now you're begging me to stay
Funny how it all changed
Since a little bread came my way
[bridge]
I keep a mental picture of the come up
Every door that closed just made me level up
Now the same doors open wide
I just smile and step inside
[chorus]
Back then you didn't want me
Now I'm hot, you all about me
Back then you turned away
Now you're begging me to stay
Funny how it all changed
Since a little bread came my way
