[Verse 1]
Tell me why some people don't, make it/
They can have the hustle and still not make it/
The fear of failure makes me feel complacent/
Taking these steps cautiously/
Not sure if I've been built strong enough for this dream/
I'm sorry to everyone who I might let down/
Like my momma and my daddy who think I'm a let down/
Momma I'm sorry for making you cry/
My dreams are stronger/
And it's what I truly desire/
Seeing other artist love they moms/
With all the support they can give each other/
The birthday surprises/
The stage popups/
I know I'll never have that/
Seeing you backstage in concerts/
Not having your support hurts/
All you want is the best for me/
And I understand/
But all I want is to live my dream/
All I want is to live my dream/
[Chorus]
Stop wasting your time/
Go get yourself a real job/
That thing doesn't, get you any money/
Do you know what you're even doin',/
Get yourself a degree/
Quit wasting your time/
You're not a fucking rapper/
Why don't you find yourself a real job/
Why don't you start paying your bills/
Stupid camera shit/
Wanna be fucking studio shit/
What about the bills that I got/
Your wasting your time/
Idiot/
Wasting money and food on you/
Wasting your credit and shit/
Fucking stupid/
This ain't, fuckin', funny/
Why don'y you really stop/
Lazy ass/
Why don't you get out of the house/
Take control over your life/
Is it even worth it/
Stop hanging out with your friends/
Fucking disorganized piece of shit/
Use your mind/
Wasting money on pictures and shit like that/
Get a real job/
The fuck man/
Fucking support, what support/
Do you understand what you're doing to your life/
Get yourself a real fuckin', career/
[Verse]
I don't care about the scars along the way/
I'm the coal with time I'm a diamond/
But I understand if you don’t see that/
One day I'll have millions of supporters screamin/ believing in there visions and dreams/
I know when you cry I can hear you every night/
Praying to God to change me/
To make me see the world with a different set of eyes/
I'm sorry/
I've never reached your expectations/
I'm sorry/
That I was never the man you wanted me to be
I'm sorry/
That I wasn't as smart as Jezi/
I'm sorry/
That I wasn't as religious as Daddy/
Daddy you know I love you/
From every action you've taken/
I've always been on your mind/
And I appreciate it/
I can't ask for a better father/
But I won't be blind I know you're stubborn/
If you ever hear this please don’t cry/
I love you and your a OG/
I can see it right under your disguise/
You wanna see a future in me/
You wanna see your son in a chair/
With a suit and tie/
Taking calls/
On the top floor/
Be the boss with flexible time/
But that's not me/
I'm sorry that's not me/
I'm sorry I didn't get the job you wanted/
I can't live a life in a routine/
Hating my job even if I make hundreds/
It's not me/
You're sons a creative, destructive designer
Who's only desire in life is to craft art with his mind/
I'm just wanting be an inspiration/
For this generation/
Shed some light with a tad of motivation/
So these kids can get up and run towards there greatness/
I know I was chosen/
Some won't see that/
Some won't see that/
I wanna be remembered as an icon/
I wanna be remembered as a bestfriend/
Wanna be remembered as a father/
Wanna be remembered as a grandson/
Wanna be remembered as a brother/
I wanna be remembered as a son/
I wanna be seen as a role model/
I wanna be remembered as an Icon
[speech]
Life is a canvas/
You do what you want with it/
You use the colors that you desire/
The brushes that you feel that are just right/
But you don't grasp your full potential/
You color what everyone else colors/
You use the same brush everyone else uses/
To have the satisfaction of being accepted/
You don't want to stand out/
The fear of being laughed at for being different/
So we all paint in grey/
Emotionless/
[Part ii]
[Verse]
Ambition with a clear vision/
Chasin', all my fears/
They don't, get it/
Too focused to where I'm headed/
Life is a canvas got only one lifetime to finish/
Stop wastin', time and get up in it/
Got weight on my shoulders/
People sleepin', on me/
Got a coal soul/
Give me more pressure I need a shine/
Give me more time/
And you will see who I speak to/
I speak into they mind/
The art of evolvin'
The fruit of the greatest to ever live/
A legend dies/
Is reborn in 1996/
Heart movin', to the beat/
(bless)
Rap keep me alive/
(yes)
Waitin', for the power/
(yes)
Once the king steps down/
The next takes over/
I can feel it in my genes/
I can feel it/
(DAMN.)/
Give half of your melon/
I'm sure you will agree/
Transfer quarter pieces
Thru my pen/
[Chorus]
Pull up/
Hop out/
Pull the trigger and shoot/
Only got one chance/
For you to make a move/
We got/
One life/
That’s just how it be/
Cut off all the people who got negativity/
Pull up/
Hop out/
Pull the trigger and shoot/
Only got one chance/
For you to make a move/
We got/
One life/
That’s just how it be/
Cut off all the people who got negativity/
[Bridge]
Born a legend/
Legends neva', die/
Stay true to my roots/
Movin', in silence day and night/
Lowkey in the concrete jungle/
Breakin', walls thru every struggle/
Chasing the pursuit of happiness/
Money, power and fame/
Holding me back in chains/
But could I get my change?/
Maybe keep my two cents?/
Diggin', deep within this mine/
Finding gold inside my mind/
Let my riches flourish inside your life/
And maybe you'll understand my vibe/
[Verse]
Uh-huh
I'm on the come up/
Give me 365 times four/
No more/
Chasin', dreams as I'm running with my fears/
Pointing a gun at my self-doubt/
Ain't, no stoppin', me now/
Life got no protection/
When you allergic to that late text/
Why you wastin', your time/
Starin', at the TV screen/
1 show/
Too show/
Three shows/
Like that you will never be/
Tell me do you see your future/
Do you look at yourself in the mirror/
I'm thinkin', my skin is getting clearer/
Sensei thought me how to meditate/
Look into my eyes/
I see a king/
Who's a crown for his city/
And a diamond in disguise/
But that's me/
Who are you?/
Who you wanna be?/
A mediocre human being/
Who will be forgotten/
In 2083/
Let that sink in/
Life is a traffic jam/
You never wanna take shit for granted/
People expect to have results/
Without doing any of the practice/
What the fuck were you/
Fuckin', expecting?/
On to the next one/
Hear a thing or two/
You gotta love yourself/
You gotta look in the mirror/
You gotta believe/
Nothing in this world can stop you/
Except yourself/
Now throw dirt on me/
And watch me grow
[Chorus]
Pull up/
Hop out/
Pull the trigger and shoot/
Only got one chance/
For you to make a move/
We got/
One life/
That’s, just how it be/
Cut off all the people who got negativity/
Pull up/
Hop out/
Pull the trigger and shoot/
Only got one chance/
For you to make a move/
We got/
One life/
That’s, just how it be/
Cut off all the people who got negativity/
[Bridge]
Born a legend/
Legends neva', die/
Stay true to my roots/
Movin', in silence day and night/
Lowkey in the concrete jungle/
Breakin', walls thru every struggle/
Chasing the pursuit of happiness/
Money, power and fame/
Holdin', me back in chains/
But could I get my change?/
Maybe keep my two cents?/
Diggin', deep within this mine/
Finding gold inside my mind/
Let my riches flourish in your life/
Maybe you'll understand my vibe/
Cause', I'm shooting for the king/
Ah/
