[Intro]
Uh
[Verse 1]
I battled porn since I was fifteen
I battled pot since I was fifteen
Use to feel less than regularly
It was all insecurity
Now I'm writing this here crying
Cause I know deep down inside
That was the test in my testimony
Old friends around me, no, they don't compete
Wondering why I did not feel complete
I found I had two generations of family members who had started but did not complete
I had a wake up call at eighteen that gave perspective to me
Now the circle is full like a loading bar, I'm charged up ready to eat
[Pre-Chorus]
I needed to go through those things
I needed to improve those things
To myself, to my family, to my god
I needed to remove those things
What's a forward without a backward?
What's independent without dependent?
See the meaning of things we give it
Is what determines if we gon' get it
[Chorus]
I'm tryna go out like TB12
World Record, yeah, give me a Guinness
But in order to do that now
I gotta honor the past I've been given
Gotta open the present I'm living
Gotta tap into passion and vision
Gotta calm myself down, I ain't quitting
Gotta fight for a future to live in
[Verse 2]
I've been in my bag, let's go
Old habits, I am not those
When I look myself in the mirror
I'm looking at years of growth
Tryna impact, not tryna boast
So I really stopped doing the most
Now I float, Rolls Royce ghost
Had I known back before that
[Pre-Chorus]
I needed to go through those things
I needed to improve those things
To myself, to my family, to my god
I needed to remove those things
What's a forward without a backward?
What's independent without dependent?
See the meaning of things we give it
Is what determines if we gon' get it
[Chorus]
I'm tryna go out like TB12
World Record, yeah, give me a Guinness
But in order to do that now
I gotta honor the past I've been given
Gotta open the present I'm living
Gotta tap into passion and vision
Gotta calm myself down, I ain't quitting
Gotta fight for a future to live in
[Verse 3]
If I put my mind to it, woah
Anything they have done before, I can do it too lil bro
I used to be afraid of this, not what's I see around the kid
But what I know my potential is
How can I get a head start?
Change like a reverse Uno card
Become the person I am meant for
Gotta challenge myself, gotta set a big dream
Gotta execute daily, gotta get a routine
Gotta build self esteem
[Chorus]
I'm tryna go out like TB12
World Record, yeah, give me a Guinness
But in order to do that now
I gotta honor the past I've been given
Gotta open the present I'm living
Gotta tap into passion and vision
Gotta calm myself down, I ain't quitting
Gotta fight for a future to live in
I'm tryna go out like TB12
World Record, yeah, give me a Guinness
But in order to do that now
I gotta honor the past I've been given
Gotta open the present I'm living
Gotta tap into passion and vision
Gotta calm myself down, I ain't quitting
Gotta fight for a future to live in
