[Intro]
My enemies, don't want me to prosper
They jealousy leaves them stationary, as I travel farther
They crucify me as they did my father
Trying to make a difference and enjoy what life offers
Wasn't ever real poor, wasn't richie rich either
Didn't ever go hungry but right now I'm starving
Life's a journey and I'm just starting
[Hook: Lona]
When you young and you gifted
Got heart and you independent
It's a lot of hating brothers and gold chasing sisters
I'm just trynna get it, if they hating forget it, man I'm just trynna get it
[Verse 1: Lona]
Dang they don't want me to make it
Every ounce of confidence, they seem to take it
My presence leaves em shaken, know I'm destined for greatness
They say I stay in my feelings, I say I suffer from realness
My mouth isn't censored and my hearts not heavily guarded
So i keep it trill, wait till I'm awarded
I ain't perfect but ain't nobody flawless, I do what I feel is right cause they hate you regardless
Music is this my purpose or just another phase? often wonder if my peers be feeling the same
Riding dolo is probably for the better
Cold world, overalls and a sweater
[Hook: Lona]
When you young and you gifted
Got heart and you independent
Its a lot of hating brothers and gold chasing sisters
I'm just trynna get it, if they hating forget it, man I'm just trynna get it
I gotta get up out
So my music can give my people a way out
Temptations is loud, but the whispers of inspiration helps me push on
When you chasing dreams ain't nobody around
And once you make it they wishing they woulda
And I get so much hate its crazy
Its kids hungry, people homeless, teens lonely
That's precious time that you wasting
They say give it a break? Shoot tell em to make me
I got people to touch, a family that's waiting for me to lead the way
And me to lead a change will i ever be great, or will i shine briefly then fade
Will i rise above or fall subject to the hate, for failure is not an option
Success is knocking so i ain't stopping
Ima soldier that's steady marching
[Outro]
When you young and you gifted
Man I'm just trynna spark minds with mines
And ignite generations of world changers through lines
I wanna touch lives
