Jimmy Craig - Ambition lyrics

[Verse 1] I know I started shaky, but no one's ever perfect But I don't give a damn cause this sh** is still worth it I knew I wanted this back when I was 16 I never looked back, I never had a plan B If I say I'm gonna do something of course I'm gonna do it I put my heart in this, while you just sound foolish Some don't take it seriously, they do it for entertainment Only caring about the f**ing number on the statement If you got a talent man, then why the f** wouldn't you use it? A lot of people abuse it, I swear I'll never lose it Everyone's a critic now, people always choosin' I'm tryin' to start a movement, I'm crusin' right through it I'm not gonna hate on him for wanting to be a chemist I'm not gonna hate on her for wanting to be a dentist I'm not gonna hate on them for wanting to start a business So why hate on me when I'm trying to be the realest? [Interlude 1 - Rocky Balboa] [Verse 2] It all begins with a dream, so just take it and use it And while you're pursuin' you just can't lose it I've had the dream of rapping ever since I was a little kid Until I swallowed my pride and decided to just do it I know I got the talent, no one knows what I'm about I gotta let it out, I carry too much doubt Once I get the pride to unleash the beast inside I'm hoping you really feel me and come along for the ride To your surprise, this job is what I chose to help me get by If I don't succeed, I can say that I tried Chasing dreams, I don't think I got the right shoes on It seems too far away, I gotta get my Bobby Hayes on Some kids are too scared to reveal their real dreams Trust me, I was one, now I'm revealing all my schemes Never lose your might during the fight that you embark And always have your sights on the light in the dark [Interlude 2 - Eric Thomas] [Verse 3] Constipated to the hate, I couldn't give two sh**s My punchlines are so dope, you're gonna want two hits Ambition's what I live for, it makes my whole life And I appreciate anyone who says my flow's tight When I was young, I stuck my tongue on a frozen stop sign My friend got his off without a problem, but not mine What I'm saying is, you gotta play with fire and get burned If you wanna learn, you gotta wait your turn Jealousy; that's a female trait Why's everybody always trying to rate and debate About who's got a better flow, who's iller on the mic It doesn't mean sh** because we're all f**ing different Obviously we're all not gonna see eye to eye But what's the point in life if you never ever try? Maybe one day you guys'll call me the greatest But for now I'm sittin' here just chillin' on the wait list [Outro - Eric Thomas]
