[Verse 1]
Lately I been living on the edge with the life changes that have came
Underrated by the locals underestimated by the game
Reminiscing on the past choices that I made
Who decides what's right and wrong
It's all standards set by the man
But I don't follow cause I'm the Shepard
I was a sheep for too long
Until my vision became clear and I could see where I went wrong
Used to want an outfit that I copped at Sean john
Now I dress like a don and I don't give a f**
Whatever you have to say doesn't matter just shut up
I've been waiting for a bit
For my chance to come but it never did
So I took it with my own hands and created my own destiny
I saw god in my dream and he said son put your trust in me
But he never helped me out with my family
Barely paying bills looking for a higher salary

Chasing dreams
They call us dream chasers
Sipping on the liquor to numb it all
We don't need chasers
Used to run from trouble
Now I have to face it
My voice is in the right spot
Right where I have placed it
[Verse 2]
But still nobody heard me
They don't want a real message
They just want the hype and ba** drops while they dropping acid
Erectile disfunction when they do sh** they do it flacid
And sh** I ain't a sinner
I just did what I had to come out as the winner
Freezing our a**es off no heat in the winter
Now we party like it's all good
Popping bottles at the table we got plenty of food
Everyone has graduated
Throwing up the middle finger screaming f** everyone that hated
Standing with my boys screaming look mama we made it
My life is a community and had always been gated
You want a big house i just want some comfort
You want all the hoes I just want a loved one
You want all the cars I just need one ride
So I can get from a to b
Like pac still i rise
You wouldn't understand until you take a trip through my mind
[Hook]X2
[Verses 3]
Can't nobody get it until they walk in my shoes
Every other day we be getting real bad news
Had a person wishing they were chilling on a cruise
Life been on hold all I ever did was snooze
But I couldn't lose
So now I'm working harder than I ever did
Rising like a poker game
I just won the highest bid
Got no one to blame
Mentally I was a kid
Making my own name
Failing isn't an option
Cause like God I forbid
I'm rolling it up ain't scared no more
Settling down ain't no need for who*es
Wars,I open doors
Success all I see
Mcs washed up on shores
End up running stores
Cause they gave up
One day me they will adore
I am the mentor
Everyone screaming my name
They want an encore
And if they talk sh**
Well I ignore
