Nametag - Reward lyrics

[Verse 1] Made a promise to momma to make it out the hood And follow up on that promise to make it out for good Goin' strong for too long, no excuses Where it's a way there is a will like who produced this I'm tryin' to make a livin' off of rhythm Chase dreams, catch up wit' 'em so I can live 'em If I'm supposed to pay for the sins of my father Well, that's a lot of repentin' prayin' God forgives him Accordin' to the system I should be dead or in prison But I missed that memo to carry out that mission listen Word to my daughter though her mother know I've been far motivated before that water broke Limit is the sky, I'm aimin' at where the stars go Prison time when it comes to the pen and bars so Call up the warden, this here is a portrait Through scripture, yet in the form of recordin' They love me overseas I need to be world tourin And I want that car foreign pedal to the metal floor it See it's the Lord's plan I'm just the informant warnin' You that I'm here to win I'm reapin' all thats' rewardin' [Chorus] If it's no risk, no reward It's opportunity in this world, create yours It's room for you to be you, that lane's yours What you waitin' on a chance for, take yours (repeat 2x) [Verse 2] As I listen to Marvin, playin' on my song list From I come apart to what's goin' on with This industry I'm in survival of the strongest If I ain't hip hop, then what do ya call this sh** I'm still an artist starvin But the game mattered less when I became a father As far as recordin' I was like why bother But I come this far I gotta show my daughter That you must work smart, earn every dollar Hard work pay off, and that's word to Mahd And day and night I gotta send up response to God Cause he navigatin' this ride see I just drive But I'm part of elite starfleet watch me fly I clocked in to put in work, now watch my time I'm Here to bring balance walkin' that fine line Of reachin' the mainstream without compromisin' And remain genuine and try and keep it honest If I don't sell my soul, can I at least go Gold Prevail is the agenda, so indeed I go I'm on a place kicker's mission to complete these goals And that's real [Chorus] (repeat 2x)
