[D. Green Verse 1]
27 years young, I never thought I'd make it that far
Life a luxury where I'm from, and some don't make it outta that trap y'all
So this is me and my great escape, ain't looking backwards, behind me that's where it stays
Mark the words I say, that's all I got at the end of day and a set of stones that's gone help pave a n***a way lord willing
I wanted more than what the dealer of the cards dealing, to me life is more than j**els, women and car dealings
It's not what eyes on.... I come from nothing, I want a Fortune 500, what your on?
I had to evaluate the things I spend my time, I want to see what life is like in different time zone
Meek said there's level to this sh** and be not wrong, don't want to get stuck on the one I'm on
There's more to life then New York inner city..
[D. Green Talking]
I try to tell em man
I come from where options are limited, and very few make it out
Where people become complacent with their situation
I was either that our find something better
I choose the latter baby
[D. Green Verse 2]
Only time will tell me what I'm fit for, no man, no chick that exist can tell me what I'm not equipped for
That fight you'll all lose, someone told me law ain't in my future, well future has it, I'm in law school
People doubt me, I look at them, like its all cool, I know they waiting to see if I make the wrong move
I don't sweat tho, I'm too cool that, I'm confident In myself, I can't lose with that
You can't bind what's in the mind of a visionary, permanent thoughts of dreams they thought were temporary
Until I'm buried the word failure is my adversary, and I refuse to lose
They said that ill amount to nothing, wouldn't finish school, And crime would be the best way for me to make the news. Well watch me change that
If ever you need me to prove you wrong ill arrange that, my mind-state our 50 state couldn't contain that nah
[D. Green Talking]
See...
I always told myself...
That i'll be damn if I let anyone else be my voice of reasoning. That's a conversation between me and time. (laugh)...
Yeah
[D. Green Verse 3]
I swear its only up here, cause this ain't where it ends for me
I still have quite a way go, and i don't know exactly where it's gone lead
But the heart of a believer, The mind of a leader, searching for a to a better day, that's the life of a dreamer
