The Cost of My Ambition Lyrics by Zi

2013

[Chorus: Zi]
The cost of my ambition
The cost of my ambition
Everything I lost was the cost of my ambition
Hard work and dedication's what I have
But it cost a lot to make it and they never tell you that
The cost of my ambition
The cost of my ambition
The cost of my ambition
Everything I lost was the cost of my ambition
Hard work and dedication's what I have
But it cost a lot to make it and they never tell you that
The cost of my ambition
[Verse 1: Zi]
Determined focused
Hurt and hopping
Time will come and the doors will open
Trusting God and it keeps me going
Doubt yourself and your dreams get stolen
See time goes by
Pushing for too long I gotta rise
Got no other choice it's ride or die
Staying on my grind 'till the bottles pop
247 365
Working so hard don't sleep a lot
Got a slim chance but I need to try
Y'all don't get it but this means a lot
No regrets and peace of mind
Can't neglect what I feel but I
Wonder if I see the signs
Live the truth or believe a lie
Need to know cut the crap
Promises got enough of that
There's a cost and that's a fact
I know this shit but how much is that
It's a dirty game
Where's your chips gotta pay play
Hope's a bitch 'cause it makes you stay
Love tomorrow 'cause we hate today
[Chorus: Zi]
The cost of my ambition
The cost of my ambition
Everything I lost was the cost of my ambition
Hard work and dedication's what I have
But it cost a lot to make it and they never tell you that
The cost of my ambition
The cost of my ambition
The cost of my ambition
Everything I lost was the cost of my ambition
Hard work and dedication's what I have
But it cost a lot to make it and they never tell you that
The cost of my ambition
[Verse 2: Zi]
I wake up think about it
All day long I think about it
Go to bed I think about it
In my sleep I dream about it
Would be running but the road is crowded
Could be cheating but I won't allow it
Stop this man man the world ain't ours
Wouldn't be fun if we all had power
Fist clenched I'm kicking dirt
Good at this but what's it worth
Better win or shit gon' hurt
A waste of time if shit don't work
Friends and family are concerned
All this shit is just absurd
What if you don't get your turn
That's just life you live you learn
You stress you doubt it's a lot of this shit to handle
Always a risk definition of a gamble
Don't ask shit if you ain't ready for the answer
If I gotta lead I'll be leading by example
And I could flee the battlefield but I ain't no coward
Sharping my sword done for hours
Quit talking 'bout it be about it
See all I eat is bags of rice
Nothing left to sacrifice
Everything must have a price
But how long must I have to fight
Say it twice
All I eat is bags of rice
[Chorus: Zi]
The cost of my ambition
The cost of my ambition
Everything I lost was the cost of my ambition
Hard work and dedication's what I have
But it cost a lot to make it and they never tell you that
The cost of my ambition
The cost of my ambition
The cost of my ambition
Everything I lost was the cost of my ambition
Hard work and dedication's what I have
But it cost a lot to make it and they never tell you that
The cost of my ambition
