Flo-Rivah - Ambitions lyrics

[Flo-Rivah] Intro: Check it! Unh! Flo-Rivah! Listen... Yo... Unh! Verse 1: People ask me what I really want to be They say "Timothy, tell me what do you see." Five or ten years from now I tell em, I wanna be this I wanna be that I wanna sell 'em this game, I want to show 'em that I can rap I came from game design, to keepin' people from gettin' jail time Now it all boils down to this one and only rhyme I say I want to get rich, but every time that I earn a dime I spend it I start a new chapter and I don't finish it This one dream, I would hate to diminish it But how can I accomplish it when I never finish sh**! I always start somethin' but I never finish I got a thick list that I'm crumblin' with my fist I take to heart something, but it's only just a wish 'Cause I can't clearly see success lyin' deep within' the thick mist (Unh!) Hook: Why can't I succeed Is it just me? I say it's a need, I claim that I'm plantin' the seed And every day I wish to proceed to step three Instead of being on steps one and two Damn, what am I gonna do? Wh-What the hell am I gonna do? Verse 2: I've been through some thangs That only offered me pain I was once the same as you I can tell that you don't have a clue What life can do to you It can turn you from sane to insane and back again Everyday it feels like, there's nothin' to gain It's a shame How for the past few years, I mistook life as a game Breezin' through it, never carin' About that chance, if I just blew it See, I knew it Would come down to this It's like a series of hits and misses In life, you experience more pain than hugs and kisses I think that this is just absurd I'm not sure if you heard But my wings have been attached too tight I feel like a bird Scratch that, I feel like a turd Pushin' away people that tried to help me Now look, I'm so unhealthy People tried to show me how to get by But to this day, I don't know why it has to be I To go through these challenges (Unh!) Hook Verse 3: My mind has been pervaded by the mental invasion of lust Everyday, I masturbate just for the satisfaction All talk, but no action I only talk sh**, but see, I'm only just reacting It's to the point that I don't even like interacting As much as I used to Now I spend my days counteracting karma I don't have dogma I'm only stuck with darhma It's a damn shame that everyday, I gotta put up with drama Do you know how it feels to be dissed? Do you know how bad it feels to know the many Opportunities you've missed? If you haven't, don't think that you won't You'll find out soon enough, how rough life can get But anyway, I'll continue To dream of a day where everything will be okay Where I can find my spirit guide And show her that I've survived The many burdens that life has placed upon us (Unh!) Hook
