[Verse 1: Ill-Noize]
I used to do d**
sh** I still do
Used to drink Pabst Ribbon
Now we sippin' on that real good
New Vision got me livin for the feel good
No more Top Ramen, nah
Now every meal is home cooked
Shows booked man, & I'm livin' sorta reckless
'N I can't stress this enough
I ain't here to impress none of you chumps
Hit the blunt, & I rise above
Don't get it twisted, I like the way I'm livin'
(Mof**a)
Turnin' my bedroom to a studio
My kitchen to a gym
No excuses, I know I gotta put the work in
If I want it, I know I gotta commit
Rollin' wit the punches, 'cause this is just the beginning, kid...
[Interlude]
[Verse 2: Ill-Noize]
Some d** are made for reminiscing
Sit back & reflect on days I thought I was a Christian
Or when I thought I was in love with my high school sweetheart
Or that there was no light in my dark, you see...
I used to be depressed, not wanna get dressed
Not want to get out of bed, 'n face the world yet
But those days are long behind me
Looked inside & found a light so blinding
Realized I could change & change the world too
Everything you see in your head is right in front of you
You just gotta see the signs, sometimes it takes time
To get through all the hardships &... shift your paradigm
I'm livin' for my dreams, & the ones I love
Do whatever it takes to rise above, shove
Anybody outta the way to reach my goals
Make failure just a distant memory, cuz!
