[Hook] (x2)
Who do you wanna be when you look in the mirror
Chasing after your dreams hoping that they get nearer
Jump shot, crack rock, go to school, hit the block
We just tryna fulfill our dreams before the clock stop
[Verse 1]
Single mother doing the impossible
Her raising a man is not probable
Seed sees the struggle so he hustle
Tryna make sense of a broken puzzle
Missing pieces, swiping visas, living fast
f** a job, crack a card, easy cash
You gon end up like your fathers a**, (oh well)
Throw your wishes down the well, cause this is hell
Mind been in a cell, the hood it been a jail
I never seen success but i know I can't fail
Play ball that's what you luv, right
sh** I would but I failed off the team cause I couldn't write
Dyslexic too every word got me questioning my sight
God why you leave me in this ring with Satan to fight
He a heavyweight can't you see that I'm too light
Angels get made every day in the hood, the only way we take flight
Even when the suns up it's still dark, no light
Two swollen eyes I'm losing my sight
What's wrong or right what's real or fake
It's been 18 rounds I gained a couple pounds what's my fate
[Hook] (x2)
Who do you wanna be when you look in the mirror
Chasing after your dreams hoping that they get nearer
Jump shot, crack rock, go to school, hit the block
We just tryna fulfill our dreams before the clock stop
[Verse 2]
You don't know the pain, I'm feeling like bane
I'm trapped inside a prison, and I'm losing my vision
Chasing after dreams on the astral plane
But still you don't listen,so I'll just remain hidden
Kick in the door, success wouldn't let me in
You can't hold me back anymore, demons wouldn't let me win
Till I took them to the gym, made em do cardio till their hearts burst
What's worse, feeling like the inside of a hearse
Or only being free when you speak a verse
So it's sorta like a mental strike slash curse
I disperse the worst stories, am I heard
The hunger and thirst for wanting to be a bird
Free to fly, f** your doubt I could touch a cloud
Until then I float in smoke of the lovely loud
I aspire to be higher than satellites and don't mention my appetite
My written are cla**ified, until I fulfill my dreams I'm not satisfied
[Hook] (x2)
Who do you wanna be when you look in the mirror
Chasing after your dreams hoping that they get nearer
Jump shot, crack rock, go to school, hit the block
We just tryna fulfill our dreams before the clock stop
