(verse one)
I had a vision, had a vision
and it's my mission just to make out these prisons
and n***as be like bro, you just stay optimistic
but a n***a ain't no optimist,
the n***a ain't no Autobot.
But still I'm speeding down this highway
like it's Autobahn,
nobody bumping but this road
that I'm strolling on.
They tryna undertake me,
keep rolling, rolling, rolling on.
They say just keep keeping on, okay,
but who they sleeping on?
Working hard to get what's ours.
Money longer than my sleeping hours.
You paid your fees and your stress your brain,
put your money in the machine
but that sh** don't change, na.
I swear that sh** don't change,
think it's all a game,
I swear that sh** don't change,
think it's all a game.

Ah, what's the chance?
what's the motherf**ing chance, n***a?
(bridge)
and they said all your pain will seize
and you'll be free to do as you please
and but you just need time to breathe
but you reached your limit
now, you're leaving all the stakes on the table,
you prayed it not to rain but it rained so
and the plan was incomplete and now you're stationed.
You prayed it not to rain but it rained so,
(chorus)
and so now what do you do?
so now what do you do?
and so now what do you do?
you prayed it not to rain but it rained so,
(verse two)
too much talking, not enough action, baby,
what you gonna do?
I can see that it was tough action, baby,
to make a better you.
They don't want to see you elevate,
f** the talking, f** what they say,
jumped the gun and couldn't wait for no paved way,
no gateway, no safe way.
we push through and make way
and that's the only way.
