[Hook:]
I'll never turn around
I'll never turn around
I'll never turn around
Because I came too far (x2)
[Verse 1:]
I used to only wanna flow, I never had no desires to be a top dog
Living in a place where they can't wait to knock your block off
Get knocked off, if them boys suspect that you are not hard
The city that I'm from you either ballin' or you got bars
Or get locked up behind them, the youngins out here wilin'
Gradually get immuned to violence and police sirens
h*mocides ain't decreasing so the mothers keep crying
They say that it's gon change but I guess they keep lying
Cause through my eyes it's only getting worse
So everything I'm feeling I just put it in a verse
Put it in a song then let you give it a spin
With hopes that it provides a change of heart for you within
Man all I need is the pen, then I let it all spill
That's why when they speak on my music they say it's all real
Tryna be more than a hero for my hometown
If I made it this far why would I wanna turn around?
[Hook:]
[Verse 2:]
Now tell me what's the cost of attention
When you ain't tryna settle for an honorable mention
Dollar and dream so I'm still penny pinchin'
Cause I'm on the road to riches and the gas is expensive
I can't be looking in the rear view cause that's the past
I'm just looking in the future and that's on the dash
I'm on a mission, some people tell me I'm tripping
Cause I planned to go on this journey without knowing how long it lasts
I just put my destination in my GPS
I packed my bags, I'm on the road, I'm headed to success
Put the pedal to medal, never take a rest
With every mile I go I thank the Lord that I'm blessed
Through every test I pray my strength that I could withstand
Every obstacle, and never fail to do it if it's possible
I'm gone now, I said I'm success bound
Man I made it this far and I'm never turning around
