Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴How the hell they gone judge us when we came from the bottom
We ain't never had enough, we was livin' life rough
Now we good, now we straight, now we up
Now we good, now we straight, now we up
How the hell they gone judge us when we came from the bottom
We ain't never had enough, we was livin' life rough
Now we good, now we straight, now we up
Now we good, now we straight, now we up
Now we up
Now we Gucci
She rock fendi
I rock Louis
That's why bae, my true day 1
She was down when they counted me out
So much pain but we made it, n----- hated, we stop waiting
D&B to the day we die
We can't lose
We got God on our side

How the hell they gone judge us when we came from the bottom
We ain't never had enough, we was livin' life rough
Now we good, now we straight, now we up
Now we good, now we straight, now we up
How the hell they gone judge us when we came from the bottom
We ain't never had enough, we was livin' life rough
Now we good, now we straight, now we up
Now we good, now we straight, now we up

Now we up I'm riding wit' my partner
I'm wear prada, and he wear Balenciaga
I remember we had to scrape them dollars
Now we ridin' first class to the Bahamas
Before we ever made all this skrill
Food was gettin' low we couldn't pay our bills
Everytime i think about what we went through It gives me chills
Sometimes i cry tears of joy 'cause that's just how i feel
How the hell they gone judge us when we came from the bottom
We ain't never had enough, we was livin' life rough
Now we good, now we straight, now we up
Now we good, now we straight, now we up
How the hell they gone judge us when we came from the bottom
We ain't never had enough, we was livin' life rough

Now we good, now we straight, now we up
Now we good, now we straight, now we up
