Cedric Till - Ambition lyrics

[Chorus 1] When you're one with your purpose Go out and get what you're worth, f** if they think you deserve it That's ambition From a beginner to a proven winner, whether You're in the background or you're always front and center You'll get there through ambition Doing bad, never stray from the plan, just go harder Doing great, never rest on your laurels That's ambition Letting go of everybody that is toxic Talking out their a** when the plot thickens Cause they ain't got ya ambition [Verse 1] Show your heart, where's it really at? Living the dream of another, or getting yours and then giving back? I know we all ain't where we wanna be But can we make it there? One foot before the other and we're gonna see Everyday of our lives, we are pressed to survive Pressed to provide, pa**ions buried alive What do you get up for? Is it all duty? What gives you happiness doing, just talk to me If there's a vision in your head, flesh it out Do the numbers, build bonds, get it done, get it out It only sounds hard cause you know there'll be hardship But when it's done you'll have confidence Let them s**ers worry 'bout their boss' favor Sitting in a barrel of crustaceans, thinking that they're safer But when you're pescetarian, you'll see food That's aligned with your goals, never let your thoughts waver [Chorus 2] On the grind without a partner Transforming into an empire from a startup That's ambition Getting no support from your friends so-called Come to find out that they wait for you to fall That's the price of ambition Some prefer shortcuts, other take detours The reward's much sweeter, when the road was hard That's ambition Always back your gut feelings with facts Keep your ego and emotions in check in here chessgame Of ambition... [Verse 2] Both feet in tailor-made shoes, doing the legwork Treading where experts wouldn't dare plant boots Ahead of the game, frenemies low-levelled I've been grinding, while you b**hes been trying on pantsuits Talking 'bout your office, I'm getting offers Thanks to authority as an author Checking some messages I would never respond to Former companions talking all that back-in-the-day sh**, look, I warned ya I'll move on, no regrets, hard feelings are reserved For the day you're really standing in my path Cause this is about the craft, not the millions that it's worth On the market, you're blind when the value is intrinsic I'm working towards a Masterpiece - Of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity Building a body of work yet unseen Co-created by artists from over fifty different countries Don't tell me this ain't ambition...
