I'm giving everything I got and I'm giving more Waking up everyday like I know what I'm living for What am I destined to write for, erase it and try more Will we ever get it together and not divide more? Still on a long road and forgetting I called home They know I'm doin it for the people I love most The second my mind roams, have I delayed my plans Doing the best I can, shaking like every hand What good is a leader if he's away from his kids It got wondering about what makes a man within Only one life live? the pressures getting to me I spent the last couple years on this dream that am pursuin' Lifes truly a movie and were hoping for a sequel Theres is no difference between us all I'm seeing is people Still looking up at the sky, thankful that I'm alive Steppin in the door, tell mama that I've arrived, lets go Sitting in cla** reflectin' like I really made it But I'm looking around and i'm feeling so separated So I'm spacing, and facing the cla**, like I need to speak up Mind racing so fast and doing anything to keep up Maybe out of place, study for days to get a grade I wasn't fully prepared but I learned to make a way But things change, no longer wantin' to fit in Hopin' it reaches somebody in seats I used to sit in This is my life ima live it could never digress When try they put you down get up its all but a test Its crazy what we go thru in a matter of years Dedicate this to my peers who are no longer here Eliminating my fears and I won't take it for granted Despite those who love me or hate me man I'm takin advantage Wonder how am able to manage, all the stress I'm in I gotta keep it together cause I'm envisioning Reaching the top of the totem, got so much more to go Seeing different perspectives I never saw that before Many things I don't know and so I'm constantly learning Jotting it down on this bus as the planet keep turning Thinking back to old friends, like back in the day I tried to show em the way, they just couldn't keep straight Never made it out the city so we parted ways A couple of years later I see him in the front page I hope to god that it wasn't him Like man he just had a kid And so I'm constantly grindin, or just partially rhyming Life coming at me sideways but i gotta keep climbing Till i reach the peak, somebody ask me How do you believe What you can't see Something i can't see? Man nothing i can't be
