Let go of the rope and make the climb/
The longer you wait, the more you will find/
That you're writing out your history, every moment you decline/
Is a chance pa**ed in life, no way to rewind/
The life and times of men and women struggling to survive/
From struggle comes opportunity when you need to provide/
For your seed to feast, you need to enrich the soil/
So that the future can go further than you, become royal/
I pray they stay loyal to the lessons that you taught them/
To move around the nonsense, life is a slalom/
It's the long and winding path, no maps/
No backtrack, just empty backpacks/
C'mon, do the math/
They said a picture is worth a thousand words/
But which thousand words can help you picture my grind?/
If I gave you ten thousand hours of my life/
Will I make something beautiful to call mine?/
Behind every success, there's a million failures/
But every failure makes me familiar/
With my true self, not only thoughts of wealth/
But of my two helping hands to lift myself/
And well, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take/
So I can't take a break, for Heaven's sake/
Cus while you're resting, someone's eyeing your spot/
Just burn like Roman candles, let that centerlight pop/
The oohs and ahhs are what I'm going for/
They keep me going, keep me flowing/
My stream of consciousness will not be slowing down/
Just to let Father Time catch up/
I sidestep the traps where others messed up/
Cus I just wanna get the rest of my dreams out/
This is more than a habit, so please keep the fiends out/
This is my dream spout/
And if life is a movie, I'm just trying to get my scenes out/
So run towards the glory, don't run from it/
And show the world how bad you really want it/
So, keep climbing with two eyes on the summit/
And they'll summon tales to tell about how we were becoming/
One/
