Sometimes we feel like giving up thats a reason to try
Sometimes we get a little lost but if you seek then youll find
Youre a diamond in the rough believe it or not
Cause I believe youll make it if you reach for the sky
Some people say sky is the limit I belive thats a lie
To tell the truth there is no limit spread your wings and youll fly
You may be down in the beginning gaurantee you will rise
Cause I believe youll make it if you reach for the sky
Do your thing homie make your change homie
Stay G, stay smart, stay real, even when they say you changed on me
Do your sh** shawty make your cheese baby
No man, no stress, no kids, but you grind like you got three babies
And to my single mothers I swear to god youre special
Cause youre just trying to make it better if tomorrow let you
And to my single fathers in the projects stay true
Raise your kid but not like the pojects raised you
I know that times are different clocks dont even look the same
Life ain't sweet thats why you working with that sugar cane
You know what it is ni*** I know that you gets it in
Trying to get off that mid ni*** so you sell it three for ten
I know how you rocking know you trying to dodge the repo man
Or the landlord man, in a land where the goons come alive in the night and th heat go blam
Swear to god I bled with you husteld and got bread with you
We both come from the struggle same story as Antwon Fisher
All that hard liquour for all them lonley nights
You took a left but had to like it was only right
Yes I did it to because I am not the perfect man
You dont really get the picture im serving instagrams
Check the timelines check the newsfeed
Too many mayweathers not enough bruce lees
And you can hardly afford gas with these new fees
Food for thought money changing colors now thats blue cheese
Sometimes we feel like giving up thats a reason to try
Sometimes we get a little lost but if you seek then youll find
Youre a diamond in the rough believe it or not
Cause I believe youll make it if you reach for the sky
Some people say sky is the limit I belive thats a lie
To tell the truth there is no limit spread your wings and youll fly
You may be down in the beginning gaurantee you will rise
Cause I believe youll make it if you reach for the sky
Its not right but the people must acknowledge this
We search to find the promised land end up with broken promises
Students need scholarships they tearing down colleges
Racism still alive with that its all politics
Do this for the bottom i dont do this for your compliments
Who cares about your dollars when they taxing every dollar spent
Ain't no ransom bi*** why the holding us as hostages
The government all up in our pockets got us profitless
Times like this reminds me of all the times we got it in
Fell down to our knees we felt like our world was about to end
Especially coming from a place where racial profiling is
Police brutality im going out like rodney did
I wipe the pain off my heart and smile
Was in the game when they caught a foul
They was thinking that I lost my style
And now the flow hard as tile
You tried so hard to make it far
So the whole world can know who you are
Just like the ones that paved the road
But dont let nobody taint your soul
See I just be who I am
No I dont really give a damn
You got to be who you are
You got to reach for the stars
