TruthCity - The Wise lyrics

(Verse 1) Look, pa**ion and talent 23 and still at it Scratchin' rent Been broke so long, you would've thought I called it quits At times I sit and think what if Jordan didn't get drafted If Ali threw in the towel or Serena hung up her racket Just thoughts that run through my mind as I stare out through these blinds Scared, just hopin' that I don't get tired of tryin' Don't tell me grind n***a, like it's that simple and sh** I wasn't born into no money, man my mama ain't rich Ain't got no wealthy benefactors, my dad ain't a f**in' actor No diss to the n***a Jaden, but I can't help but imagine What it's like to have a plug to all the sh** that you want To have it all I read this blog that said a n***a dropped a mill on a necklace Turned on the news, saw n***as losin' they jobs But still I'm writin' like I'm stressin' With a bed to rest my head in Lord forgive me, sometime's I want more than I got Though I'm grateful for what I have, I want better It's now or never, hold up... (Verse 2) Sometime's I rather die tryin' than live knowin' I quit Rather try and fail than have to live wonderin' what if I could list my biggest fears Could sit, soak in my tears And vent, but life is short, so I'ma live while I'm here Cus what's a life without risk Wrong or right don't exist Walk your path and wake up knowin' every breath is a gift Life is timeless, you see the prizes All the benefits of grindin' Yea, you know the spoils but not the work that comes behind it Windin', like you deserve something we don't You ain't special, unique or different Boy you want what I want f** excuses, you want it, prove it A loss ain't the same as losin' You hate, out of shame someone wanted it more than you did We fall, but sometimes the best songs are not the singles Some deeds don't bare rewards but know God can always see you One thought can change the world, success will come with timin' You want it, reach for the sky and put the stars into alignment
