[Hook]
No matter where u come from or where u tryna go
Theres never one path, theres more than one road
Keep ya eyes on the prize and ya feet on the floor
Keep shinin that light, til they see you glow
[Verse 1]
Mama told me never back to a challenge
Steady tryna walk a tightrope wit no balance
Despite everybody thats tellin me to stop
Ima keep marchin till ma feet get caloused
Me im from a city that ain't never been to church
Girls stuck to the script end up lookin like cursive
Curvy as a model all the brothers wanna flirt wit
Hittin up the club wit a bottle in they purses
Brothers growin up not knowing where theyre headed
Stuck on gettin money doin anything to get it
Gettin high rollin up a blunt sumthin proper
I wish he knew he coulda been a lawyer or a doctor
Cops steady lookin for another one to lock up
And if he had the chance, he would lock the whole block up
Work for what u want, n dont stop till they pay you
N always stay grounded so nobody can sway you
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
My father told me never back down to a coward
Do whatever you want, your the one with the power
Many people fold when there faced with the pressure
N despite all my doubts and fears i'll never cower
Always show pride in anything that you accomplish
Life is a journey, dont forget to bring your compa**
Never conform, ill live life like a rebel
Sick of playin deal or no deal wit the devil
Gettin your profession to perfect takes practice
N dont stop pushin yourself till its mastered
Workin wit a machine, just bangin out cla**ics
Look at tracklist, n dare anyone to match it
Life is full of messups outtakes and bloopers
Your the only one that can shape your own future
Never try to fit in, or people will abuse ya
And if they dont accept you, you gotta make em used to ya
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Nana told me keep going to church, stay faithful
God is the only superhero that can save you
Keep ya head up, stay focused on your goals
N dont walk along the path anybodys tryna pave you
Never wanna help wit a problem till its ours
What started being sweet end up turnin out sour?
I find it funny we could party all week
But we can't wake up to go to church for one hour
See now i got you thinking
Change, you ain't got much time, watchin ya life fly by without blinking
Me im just statin the facts, reinforcing the obvious
Making a track, a few thoughts for you to poly wit
Try hard not to fall, and dont slip
Live ya life like a movie, create your own script
So dont forget your exactly who to choose to be
N take advantage of every opportunity
