Texty: Maino. All The Above (feat. T-Pain).
[Chorus:]
Tell me what do you see
When you looking at me (woooahhhh)
On a mission to be
What I'm destined to be (woooahhhh)
I've done been through the pain and the sorrow
The struggle is nothing but love (nothing but love)
I'm a soldier, a rider, a ghetto survivor,
And all the above
All the above [x7]
[Verse 1:]
Really what do you see
When you looking at me
See me come up from nothing
To me living my dreams
I had been to the bottom
I had suffered a lot
I deserve to be rich
Heading straight to the top
Look how I rep for the block
Look how I rep for the hood
I get nothing but love
Now that I come through the hood
Getting this fortunate fate
Why leave that gold on this chain
The new Benz is all white
Call it John McCain
How the hell could you stop me
Why in the world would you try
I go hard forever that's just how I'm designed
That's just how I was built
See the look in my eyes
You take all of this from me
And I'm still gon' survive
You get truth from me
But these rappers gon' lie
I'm a part of these streets
Til' the day that I die
I way hotter than hatters
Mad that I finally done made it
Take a look and you can tell
That I'm destined for greatness
[Chorus:]
Tell me what do you see
When you looking at me (woooahhhh)
On a mission to be
What I'm destined to be (woooahhhh)
I've done been through the pain and the sorrow
The struggle is nothing but love (nothing but love)
I'm a soldier, a rider, a ghetto survivor,
And all the above
All the above [x7]
[Verse 2:]
It's easy to hate
It's harder to love me
Ya'll don't understand
Ya'll quickly to judge me
Put your foot in my nikes
Picture you livin in my life
Picture you stuck in a cell
Picture you wasting your life
Picture you facing a charge
Picture you beating the odds
Picture you willing to bleed
Picture you wearing the scars
Thank you for making me struggle
Thank you for making me grind
I perfected my hustle
Tell me the world ain't mine
If you ain't seen me lately
I'm a miracle baby
I refuse to lose
This is what the ghetto done made me
I put that on my father
Tryna hope for tomorrow
When I think that I can't
I invision Obama
I invision the diamonds
I invision ferarris
If the world was perfect
All my niggas behind me
Ain't you happy I made it
That I'm making this statement
Take a look and you can tell
That I'm destined for greatness
[Chorus:]
Tell me what do you see
When you looking at me (woooahhhh)
On a mission to be
What I'm destined to be (woooahhhh)
I've done been through the pain and the sorrow
The struggle is nothing but love (nothing but love)
I'm a soldier, a rider, a ghetto survivor,
And all the above
All the above [x7]
[Verse 3:]
Now we gon talk on this spot (spot)
Or if I'm out on the block (block)
I hustle hard causes it's all the same (they know, they know)
And you know that grind don't stop
Just causs I rose to the top (top)
And everybody knows my name (they know, they know)
Ayyy, still grinding (still grinding)
Still hustling (still hustleing)
No more pain (no more pain)
No more sufferering (no more sufferering)
My ladys and my shorties
And my thugs keep that task
And that shine and the love (yes)
And all the above
All the above [x12]
Tell me what do you see
When you looking at me (woooahhhh)
On a mission to be
What I'm destined to be (woooahhhh)
I've done been through the pain and the sorrow
The struggle is nothing but love (nothing but love)
I'm a soldier, a rider, a ghetto survivor,
