Lyrics
At times I feel it’s all dark, victories is hard fought Even the small ones for start, things fall apart Waiting for the stars and the planets to align For my life on earth to finally confirm what I knew inside I raised the stakes and I made many mistakes And missteps still thankful people stole my mixtapes Took a breath and braced myself for the leap of faith Time’s precious everyday, I don’t believe in waste Friendships that caused pain within the large maze I just praised god’s name and Trained like Bernard King Sudden loss of life can make ya heart sink Sharp pain ball and chain on ya ankles it’s hard to break Cycles happen we go through phases like Michael Jackson Things can change faster than you might imagine Happiness is not a tied to a result Glad I finally found a calling for myself before my final call I used to hate it when they doubted made me push harder My short term was looking bleak I had to look farther When you mix street and book smart you get em shook god Temple of doom I reached in my chest it took heart Had to quit the dead end job, my friends discouraged me Cause out here security synonymous to currency Mental endurance, rejection was a courage pill I swallow bunch of those... and pushed with a determined will Burned both ends of the candle under the star spangled Going against the odds until the day the odds thank you No one believes until you start to achieve When you realize it’s not about you, you start receive I move with godspeed through the gauntlet the beef and conflict The consequence on being in the light tension is constant And it’s a scene full of zombies in this Ponzi scheme Calmly dream keep my laundry clean And keep pushing Skip the basics they said I would be ill-fated Never had a record deal still feeling real major Build like the masons from Flatlands to Mill Basin Had the IAM killer tape “Concept” with ill cadence Percy to Kane, Tragedy to Fame Next level next devil still had to beat the game Lost friends along the way and gained more Put pressure on myself, what you think I kept the name for? They told me keep the faith I rather spread it And when it’s on rush the scene like paramedics Build friendship I would’ve thought was unexpected Build bonds with the word and that’s no pun intended Soon as the plane hit the tarmac I put the bar back where it should have been and that’s a god fact In the city where they carjack Me and my homies used to dream about being mega stars in rap Looking at the stars, wishing it’s a hard mission Reality’ll leave a scar that’s a non-fiction I learned to travel light enjoy the journey more So many cop nice things to hide a dirty core Sold em my art where I showed my heart Exposed it all to y’all when I lowered my guard That’s when the wounds start to heal, it’s not a drill T La Rock said “Its Yours” man it’s ours for real From boom boxes to rocking tube socks Always fresh can hear us coming from 2 blocks (lyrics missing)
