[Verse 1] This is God given They say the lord can take anything that he giveth But me? I'm still in it Still tryna prosper, still out here on a mission Still stuck in my ways but still set on a vision I am still following based on an intuition Still non stop targeting all of my competition Still no fucks given without being offending I just wish upon a shooting star for my fruition, now listen I know it takes just a vision and a goal To be sitting on the globe dipped in platinum and gold Diamond shining all around you but a grip on your soul Do I live in fear and defeat or go out living bold? Like a saint who made mistakes now righting his wrongs Know that my body gets weak but know my mind'll stay strong 'Cause I'm a shine no matter what level the pressures at This the kid from the valley and I'm forever that [Chorus] I'm from the same damn streets of the city that raised me Fought through these scars from the city that shamed me Shit ain't always perfect but this shit always make me The kid from the valley from the city that made me I'm on, too strong, they could never replace me Tryna crack my code but they never could break me Shit ain't always perfect but this shit always make me The kid from the valley from the city that made me [Verse 2] I walk through the valley of the shadow of death Looking inside the valley, now I see no one left Every decision make account for where you plan to end next Got me thinking bout my mans who never savored they breaths And I done gone through the depths, the pressure's up to my neck To put me up to the test, but I know it never will rest They telling me I'm the one, and it begins to make sense Just based on my competition, that title suits me the best 'Cause I've been in a position where I know that I can't lose Too stuck in my ways with no other routes to choose Too set on my goals to throw a white flag too soon I got too much to prove within myself and in my muse 'Cause I'd be damned if that's stopping me from being humble Too high and mighty to even tumble Built it from the ground up So don't you ever think I'd let it fall or crumble Now watch the young man rumble [Chorus] I'm from the same damn streets of the city that raised me Fought through these scars from the city that shamed me Shit ain't always perfect but this shit always make me The kid from the valley from the city that made me I'm on, too strong, they could never replace me Tryna crack my code but they never could break me Shit ain't always perfect but this shit always make me The kid from the valley from the city that made me [Bridge] I promise all y'all man In due time, they'll know exactly who I am [Post-Chorus] And one time for the city One time for the city, you gotta love it One time for the city One time for the city, you gotta love it One time for the city One time for the city [Outro] That's what I'm talking about! So from here on out, no one else can stop me on this shit No one
