[Verse 1:]
Right off the bat, let's get into the scene
A young Spanish kid just running after the dream
Didn't have much but the things we ate
But as the years go by you appreciate
Given these gifts by mother nature
Mismatched when you put the fight on paper
But, I learned to consider
The thoughts that don't show in the picture
See, I had all this determination
A fiend for the lights and the adulation
Smile in me that could light up a room
But too sad to ever notice it's true
You, can take the time just moping
Or, you could pry all these closed doors open
So I picked up a lock pick and went
Said I'd make Mom proud now with the set
Of rhymes, that I put over instrumentals
Experience to thoughts, rap is existential
Mental, it's a simple game that we play
Learn to see the sunshine in a hurricane
And, I'll do more on the moon than just landing
I'll go as far as I can to show I'm outstanding
[Verse 2:]
Yeah it's true we'll experience set backs
Never flew jet blue but my soul ain't jet black
It's the ideal that we'd all expect
But it's not the ideal that we all get
So, we have to work with what we got
Karma revolves, so do good with your shot
Avoid being part of the melting pot
Let them all see fire when you make the beats hot
Don't have the rings and things that make the girlies shout
But I went in with my soul and that's how I came out
Studying the game, you can't lose knowledge
Paying for growth when we're in college
I just wanna be an idol to the kids
Show them what their destiny is
If they strive to arrive, then they will succeed
Put family first cause love is the cleanest greed
Hard work pays off do what you can
Need help? Here's a basic plan
Don't worry about name brands and such
It's real simple, don't make it so tough
All you need is a little strength and love
Whatever you have is more than enough
Remember to just be happy with your landing
And show the whole world, you're outstanding
[Verse 3:]
Lift the clouds from where you chose your seat
Imagine my soul is bigger than six feet
It can do wonders, it's simply elite
Try to show that to every person you meet
Don't mock people like a parakeet
Be yourself, you're such a treat
A knockdown doesn't mean that you've been beat
So stand up and show them you're an athlete
Be ready to go rain snow and sleet
Shake hands with everyone that you greet
Civilize the jungle in the concrete
Cause being outstanding is just so sweet
