Marc Spector - White Iverson (Freeverse) lyrics

Grind and persistence That's how you shine; go the distance Rise to the mission Independent means you need no a**istance Embrace the resistance The hate builds character and wisdom Listen to your mind, not your heart They try to tear you down if you don't play the part But this is your movie, understand you're the star I said this is your movie, understand you're the star So whether you're out just trying to survive Or suited up, pushing through a 9 to 5 You got to keep calm pay no mind to lies And 'ought to stay strong for the ones who cry A lot of Trayvons played wrong and died Body sketch; no crayons in sight Rest in peace one time It's all got me heated How you can lose your life over nothing on these streets kid Live every moment like your last But plan for the future, don't be focused on the past We all got scars that we carry inside Keep your head up little soldier, the pain only means you're alive So don't cry and moan kid; you might go miss your moment The world is for the taking, so go out there and own it Ignore all your opponents; no wonder they going to hate The more that you make means they got less on their plate And everybody's selfish Clamming up talking about that pearl hidden within you; guess everybody's shellfish If I said it then I meant it Just believe in yourself, and you'll never be helpless
