I been workin' for the sun to shine
I ain't got a lot of time, all my homies dyin'
Droppin' forty on these lames since it was '99
Matter of fact, word to Kobe droppin' '81
Goin' far as I wanna go, stickin' to what I know

Look at what He created
Small beginnings to greatness
He can use anything
From drug dealers to the faded
