"They Wonder How" lyrics

Every time I take a step you try to push me back
Every time I'm on the ledge you try to cut my slack
Every time I try my best and you just call me wack
Every time I get ahead you try to pull me back
Every time it feels right you have to bring me down
Every time it's alright 'cause I get around
Every night it's alright 'cause I'm sellin' out
Every night it's alright 'cause I have no doubt

It's like you never really had a chance
This world don't ever seem to understand
I give my blood and sweat for what I do
And that's the reason I don't fuck witchu
I made a promise to myself back then
To dominate this shit until the very end
To run you out the money that you always spend
To call you out and take those hundreds for my own expense

They look at us and wonder how we made it
Sacrifice and work hard, the basics
Know that look on your face, you hate it, you hate it, oh
And they look at us, wonder how we made it
Out here lookin' like that fuckin' greatest
I know that shit hurt when it's sinkin' in, in, no

Every time you try to push ahead, lead the way
Wish me dead every day
Tryin' hard to stake a claim
Every time you try to take the reins, it's the same
You can blame who you want
But you can't kill the flame
Every time you try to take a stand but you lame
Fallin' down, got no game
Runnin' back the other way
Tryna act like somebody
Tryna act like somebody
Yeah

It's like you never really had a chance
This world don't ever seem to understand
I give my blood and sweat for what I do
And that's the reason I don't fuck witchu
I made a promise to myself back then
To dominate this shit until the very end
To run you out the money that you always spend
To call you out and take those hundreds for my own expense

They look at us and wonder how we made it
Sacrifice and work hard, the basics
Know that look on your face, you hate it, you hate it, oh
And they look at us, wonder how we made it
Out here lookin' like the fuckin' greatest
I know that shit hurt when it's sinkin' in, in, no
