Take Off Lyrics by Rakesh

rugged

2017

Same name, new location
Maintain, motivation
Same lane, destination
Cold veins, no more patience

I believe the day
I realized
My passion for this music
Coincide with revelation
I was chosen to rescue it
Hearing all the trash that's on the radio
Is quite atrocious
Seeing how they rise to fame had made me frozen in my motion

Took my breath away

All these ugly chilren
Thinking that they something
Cause they bank accounts is filling
And the wealth is almost numbing
Don't go get it twisted
You neither talented or gifted
Whynchu write Antares a thank you letter
Since they paying all your billing

F**k the hoes
F**k the clothes
F**k the cars
F**k the Rols (x2)

F**k the things that all these other rappers always keep promote
I'm just trynna make some cash so I can feed my family
Never had myself in mind when thinking of collecting green
Came into this country with their pockets badly aching
I've been watching closely all the sacrifices that they making
Just be patient
One day it'll all pay off
I'm just praying don't go sleeping on me
Before I take off

It'll all pay off
I'm just praying don't go sleeping on me
Before I take off

(voice)
"nah I completely understand what you're saying man. But I definitely don't think it's an accident that we have the passions that we have. I think, the way we're created we have these desires to... to pursue you know? That's what imma do. I'm gonna pursue it."

Pain and passion daily burdens
Pray my effort won't be worthless
I know this take time and working
I don't wanna look back and regret this moment
I don't wanna look back
Think I coulda done more
I've been keeping secrets
From everyone for
Lord's know how long
Every time they ask me
What is it I want
With my life
I look them dead in the eyes
And I lie
Say I settle for a 9-5
When deep down inside
My passion pleads for honesty
But

How can I anticipate for them to understand
When their life goals consist of 3 plans
A Doctor, a preacher, or an engineer
Anything else and your status disappear
People treat you different when following your heart
Never mind doing what you love if it's art
You just need money and title to your name
But they be talking mess behind your back either way

So will I ever be bold enough
To pursue these things I love
Or will I fall into the cycle
A clone like everyone

(voice)
"I think, the way we're created we have these desires to... to pursue you know? That's what imma do. I'm gonna pursue it."
