[Verse 1: Nels]
Yea! I know I've sinned, even though I don't mean to
Ima breathe as hard as I need to, for as long as I need to
I know that this is only a preview
But my heart's my show & tell. Not something you can breeze through
Brace yourselves cuz you're in for a ride
I'm not storytelling, it's just another part of my life
I put in work tryna get more chips
Managers making me mad. Why they do that sh**?
Man! I wish my granddad was here to console me
Mold me, into a better man. A man with a better plan
To do it like noone has ever done it
I know that life is hard but it's good when you overcome it
I really truly wish that my mother could see me now
Approach me with open arms and a smile. She'd be proud
Of all the things that I'm doing, dreams that I'm pursuing
No matter the adversity I'm gonna make it through cuz
[Hook: Nels]
No matter what you're going through
You're gonna shine if you want to
There's nothing else you can do but
Hang on 'till they choose you
No matter what you're going through
You're gonna shine if you want to
There's nothing else you can do but
Hang on 'till they choose you
[Verse 2: Nels]
It's time to do it right. I know that I'm getting older
Tryna stay strong, mentality of a soldier
So much weight on my chest i gotta bench press it all off
I feel as if my life has been pawned off
Thats why you see me rappin my jaws off
You only live once so I'm dancing my draws off
A young dominican boy from the east side
Ninja turtle watching fat boy eating some cheese fries
Probly cuz I got the munchies from the cheeba
Didn't think that I would take it there, on this beat huh?
This is for all my students in the cla**rooms
And people striving for the big houses with madd rooms
Fly with me cuz you know that I'll let you
Just believe and I promise you'll get through
When it seems like you're down on your last
Don't forget about these simple wise words that have touched you
