(Chorus)
I'm on a long journey, I hope it's not a dead end
Haters try to stop me, my dreams I will die to defend
I will continue living. I will not die in the end
I am dreaming bigger than anyone else can comprehend
It's the first road, (first road)
First road of my life
It's my first time, (first time)
Standing behind the mic
For the last time, (last time)
I'm letting people ignore me
I'm speaking my mind, and my soul, the first road of my life
(Verse 1)
First road on the journey and I'm glad that I am taking it
Most kids be doing math (what about rap?) Yeah I'm taking it
I'm taking it my chances are really slim of me making it
These other rappers faking it
I'm coming to the game to show all these people I'm making it
I'm the future creator of rap music
Their lyrics are so amusing
When they try to get it on rapping about money and hoes
I'm just laughing cause they think it's the only way that it goes
Well I'mma show that there is more to this kind of music to an older generation
While still showing to a younger one a little inspiration
I ain't calling this a revolution, but I doubt many have been in my position of ambition at an all time low awake only dreaming of being higher
Shoutout to Ambitionz Az A Ridah
That song's the greatest and don't deny it
I only hope I'm remembered in a way
Not a vague memory when they hear my name
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
It's been a long time coming
Never even had the nerve
To show a single soul a single word
Soon did
Said I had a sk**
Graduated to a verse
Said it was whack
So then I put in my work
Then I found out how it worked
Used a real mind set to write a rhyme
I focused on a topic found the way to rock the vibe
Thought I sounded good to myself
But thought I didn't have the voice
Putting out that diss track was probably my greatest choice
Everyone that heard it said to me I had a hidden talent
But I didn't want that to be all I had out, but I hadn't
Made anything worth telling to anybody
Let alone performing it
I was still a little insecure about what they would think of it
But I put all that behind me
Vowed to make it all legit
They'll either like it or they won't
Marshall had the same problem when nobody wanted to sign him
This is my way of letting out the feelings inside me. Yeah
(Chorus)
