{Intro - B.o.B}
Sometimes it feels like it just us against the World man
We gon put this one in the air
Who really got our best interest man
No babysitting just pa** it
Don't let them take your soul man
Don't..Don't...Don't let them take your soul
Don't take your soul..hey
{Jack Harper}
Whether im white or black
Jazz or rap
Whether im 2Pac, Nas or i battle rap
I can in fact, tackle the odds at hand
And the people not supporting, bet you will be fans...soon
Now adays im flying higher than birds will
Bird seed, bet im eating, while i sleep like curfews
Now im not saying that im sleeping on success
Im up next, whos the next to bluff at a tough stretch.?
Not me, not the team that i bleed for
C4, like were blowing, where the gym is the scene for
Get it, mix it in your drink, and seemly need more
I need a fifth of vodka
In the mirror when i show off
But in reality I trip when I look in
I ponder on the thought to defeat or defend him
And him is me, and I'll become who i perceive
A leader in the dark
And I'm scheming through the seams
And if you know me, you know that I meet who i meet
A nobody ..but then again i see what i see
I met legends, Logic Kendrick and even Meek
So Handing out a mixtape is never trouble to me
Word too sela**ie
A god, allah inside
Allah wasallen, whaa wan jaa, its all in my mind
Now look it up if you having trouble to understand
There's intellectual individuals in demand
There's no one man, that isn't given a chance
And I'm telling you from first hand, its in my plan
And ambition is something that's not contagious
You can be whack at rappin but you will get famous
I'm thinking that myself and ceo will be changing
The art of this hip-hop sh**
It's only been six months, and bet I came far quick
And all I needed was new leaders and bout 4-5 chicks
And sh** I'm lying but inside, I just adore my b**h
And bet I'll prove it while i do my best
Todaluuu my steps..
Leaders at Venus and working to claim pluto next...word
Im immaculate protege
Suffering from a lot of things
And it's in my mind, it's like a demons trapped all inside of me
And I speak on these things things
I woulda never thought to have seen
But I've seen this sh** and I will prevail
Like mancini in the ring
BOOM BOOM
Better run for the gun shot hits you with ease
It's not the sh** that I live
But a victim is chosen by someone who is...living that life.....
But what is life?
Life for our generation..
Life for the people living like life isn't worth chasing...
You have to face the facts
Searchin for innovation
The patience of the mind will determine where you will take it
From Adolescence u were defined
To the path that you must follow
Like Jack ...this is what you need
Learn your ABC's, count your 123s
See ever since we start school we were placed on this recommended route
In the process, we lost that childhood creativity
And shifted from being our own pure self to what society wants
This path is something we dont pay attention to
Because were just growing and its the normal thing to do
Were always being told college is the answer to a successful and happy life
So my mind graspt it
It's what my mom wants, its what my dad wants
It's what everyone is doing i guess it must be what i want
This is just a piece of my imagination for my generation
Generation Y its time for us to follow our own recommended route
Not the route that's been recommended for us
Lets open up and write the pages to our own textbook
Not the one given by teachers
Or laws and rules pa** down by our parents and demanded by the bosses
Maybe I'm thinking too much while I'm searching for my true essence
I wake up when i look into the mirror
And the reflection that reflects back are the eyes of my past
This is constantly reminding me that i won't stop unlocking my soul until i unlock your soul
The only way to find your purpose is within You
Its the end of an era to form, follow, and function
What ever your motive may be
Whatever you feel in your gut
That's your recommended route
Were all leaders
Were all Gods
And we all have our purpose
So strap up your backpack
And lace up your kicks
And find the light
Because its at the end of your recommended route
Thank you
This has been a piece of my story...
