Rod Wave — XXL Freshman Freestyle: Rod Wave

[Verse] This for the tribulations and the trials I finally got a smile for all the frowns I finally get to make my momma proud Start a family, bought a house I finally see what pops was talkin' 'bout But it was hard lookin' up when I was down I was down bad and bummin' They was laughin' at me but it wasn't funny Imagine me in that bottom as a youngin' on any given Sunday Tryna find a way to get some money We cut grass to get cash when I was hungry Stealin' chicken out of Publix A nigga grab a box and go to runnin' Nigga never gave me nothin', so it's fuck it, was ballin' on a budget I remember ballin' on a budget I was fine 'til my mind got corrupted I used to wanna be a firefighter or a teacher 'Til niggas came through with .22s and boomin' speakers My mind changed instantly Momma don't even know what's gotten into me Thuggin' hard, stealin' cars and shootin' at the enemy I used to hit my knees and pray I find those things for ten a piece 'Til then we slow grind and break it down for ten a G 'Til then we slow grind and break it down for ten a G I know you remember me Back then in eleventh grade was addicted to poppin' seals I love to sip that lean, I like the way it make me feel This smile up on my face, babe, 'cause I been swallowin' pills Couldn't focus in class, my mind was stuck on them Ms Was thinkin' 'bout my past, that shit been givin' me chills I never thought I'd see the day I got a record deal Move my baby momma to the hill Fuck the drama, baiters live In the Bahamas, tryna to heal Tell me your problems and your feels And all of you niggas on the Internet be hoes You the type of nigga I hated when I was broke You the type of nigga, see this pole and be froze I'm the type of nigga get jealous and rob a model's clothes By the time you jumped off the porch, I was in the middle of the road When you got down the street, I was already headed home On the porch, knockin', lookin' for love, but it was gone Thank God I found my passion in these songs
