The chips on my shoulders grew into wings
Who knew it, I've grown bolder by not feeling a thing
Except that fire in my soul that turns sweat into gold
And I'll turn it on, when the time comes
Yeah
Bein' taught will benefit you more than bein' told
Money shows but never bank on happiness from dough
Life is cold and uphill, it’s time to hit the slopes
Don’t push away unless you plan on doin' life alone
God is knitting with tickin' time, that’s what made me
Drop a single, they love it, I got a couple hating
No deficit in my work, attention better pay me
Life is changing
Keep takin' shots, it don’t faze me
I got a clan, forget a gamer tag, I know 'em like the back of my hand
I’m on top, the game won’t understand
They're boxing me in, I’m hoppin' the fence
Little me, livin' immense, makin' amends, forget offense
Defendin' my next mission, impossible you’ll miss it
Too positive I’m killin' 2020, I envision it
Savin' the dates and takin' estate
You might've made a mistake, waiting on fate, while you waste away
The chips on my shoulders grew into wings
Who knew it, I've grown bolder by not feeling a thing
Except that fire in my soul that turns sweat into gold
And I'll turn it on, when the time comes
Yeah
I dispatch attacks on negative vibes, drainin' my life
I need to jump the positive side
Climb in the mind, sky dive into these rhymes
Plain to see that you can’t even catch 'em on the fly
Forget a strike, I’m fillin' up my plate
Always stayin' hungry, I crave what’s at stake
I’ve always been a little tender at heart, but I’m makin' pace
You want a way to weed out the fakes? Be in need, they’re gone without a trace
They wanna take me down a path, I don’t participate
I’m takin' up a better state of mind to walk in faith
No feelin' vacant like an empty space
You can vacate, but that will only patch the pain that’s tucked away
Buried in cold, a heart made of gold
Just might divide from the soul, and scald to the bone marrow
Leave me alone
The thing I need most is hope 'n growth
They didn’t know, I bet on my life, it better not fold
I got a flow that they can’t taste
Followed by a time frame that I can’t waste
Yup
I’m growin' in the weeds, I ain’t baked
Nah
For granted is somethin' I hope I’d never take
They say the longer you wait the longer it takes
I’ll accept a real apology and pass if it’s fake
Y’all are dreamin' all night, mine starts when I wake
No one’s given a ribbon for kickin' it with the pillow 'n case
Woo
Is it work, or am I dealin' with fate
God has given too much to not appreciate
Life’s a wager, but death is paid
You can’t escape without the debt you made, no debate
I’ll fall twice then get up and double down
Surround yourself with people that move in silence
No sound
Bein' accepted isn’t key when it comes to a crowd
Lock me up cause I’ll swing back when pushed around
Fight for what you know is right not what they wanna see
We get too caught up in the past not what is currently
Pay attention for a second, forget currency
When everything is said and done, what is your legacy
See growin' up I thought I truly understood it
Life is classified a teacher, I’m the student
Learning what I can on my path, I keep movin'
Life’s a hike, let 'em talk, they’re lost
Me is what I’m doin'
It’s difficult to build up when they’re tearin' you down
It’s hard to speak your mind when they don’t hear a sound
Yeah
In life you gotta learn to let go
Finding your identity in someone else will leave you broke
I’ve had the feeling of too many not havin' my back
You thought you had forever, now it’s a thing of the past
My heart is ready and I’m fully packed
I’m mentally equipped for a trip, and I ain’t turnin' back
The chips on my shoulders grew into wings
Who knew it, I've grown bolder by not feeling a thing
Except that fire in my soul that turns sweat into gold
And I'll turn it on, when the time comes
