Yea.....L!!
If you have a dream no matter what you do
Never stop doing what you love
Uh
This for all the people that told me i wasn't gon make it
YO x12
[Verse 1]
Aye'yo
As i recall from my speculations, my flow stay elavated
Esculated living through the struggle but still seeks for greatness
And as i shake and watch the pendulum move as its greatest
I have a dream like martin luther king
Spreadin messaages and performing on stages
Its been authenticated
If somethings given you must always just appreciate it
See im behind on my high school credits
Callin my moms celly sayin "i ain't learn my lesson"
Music is a festival
Invest in me, invest in you
Investments do the best for you
Investigate investment clues
If you invest you could pay off all of your senior dues
If you invest you could save up to buy the hottest shoes
To get the hottest shoes you should become successful
Do computers and in presentations talk intellectual
Im 17 and i decided to do music
I told my dad and he gave me the look like i was stupid
And everytime we seen each other he would put me in my place
By saying "rapper" with a sarcastic smirk on his face
It wasn't good, it was more of a bad thing
Wanted a five and he would leave me hanging like a scaffolding
Until i let him hear one of my songs
It changed the whole scenario, and the way that he thought
Now he accepts me for what i do and i played this
Now he supports me and told me to always dream big
[Talking]
Uh yea
Now he supports me and told me to always dream big
Uh
Yea x7
Uh
[Verse 2]
They want the payroll
Im looking up at my halo
Cuz life ain't what it seems
Its like my head is in the guillotine
Are you feeling me? cuz this is what i feel
Im like a slave tryna escape out of the cotton field
By using lyrical words and metaphores
I speak outspokenly and open up the closing doors
I know for sure ; that imma make it
Any opportunities that i see imma take it
So why they hating? because i started from the bottom
Recording out of houses and peoples basements
Keep up with your dreams and do what you like
I stay quiet but i speak once i pick up the mic
And on that stage im a star when they shining the light
Why can't we all get along instead of picking a fight
Today is a new day so we are blessed
Im also blessed cuz i put my lyric sk**s to the test
Yea
[Talking]
Never let anybody tell you that you can't accomplish anything in life
Everybody in this world has a talent, you could say you dont
But in reality you just didn't find it yet but its in you, trust me
Uh....L!
