Dwyer - Till I Get There lyrics

[Verse 1] I just took the time to Write up a couple rhymes and I only pack bowls, I ain't f**ing with them lines Inspiration and my goals are made and reached when I'm high So when a hater be judging I just laugh and walk right on by I remember when I used to care what people thought of me But I ain't on this earth for them, I'm here so I can do, me Which means I'll dress how I want And I'll act how I want And I'll do what I want Unless the 5.0 wants to stop, me But I'm used to it, damn, there's them lights again One more ticket for me fam What's the violation sir? "Speeding, too much weed and This ID is chalked" damn "And by the way I'm being lenient on you my man" I'm 17 and I'm in debt Life is taking me on this trek That I ain't liking so far but I'll still be looking ahead It'll all get better just like my mom said I should be taking her advice and I should study more instead [Hook: Lupe Fiasco] I'ma keep it cool and I'ma do me It is what it is and it's how it's gon' be Until I get there, 'til I get there And yeah I got flaws I know I'm not perfect But all the ups and downs Will soon be worth it When I get there When I get there, whoa-oa [Verse 2] I want to change the world but so does everybody else And they can start off with them while I'll be working on myself No help, or a**istance needed To make it there I'll need to be a little bit conceited I got enough ambition to where I'll never be defeated Obstacles are placed in everybody's life for a reason I'm just trying to figure out mine cause lately they've been making me heated Hopping over one after the other hoping all of 'em I beat 'em A, B, C and D Not the alphabet you see I'm talking about my grades progressing throughout the school year I can get 'em back to B's But I'm too damn lazy Not from the purple haze, but from my parent's genes sh**, and they ain't the ones to blame And I know it's a damn shame I got the knowledge and sk**s but what's rusty is my aim I'm off target with my life, luckily I got my sane Cause months ago that sh** went down the drain Just like the money in my bank [Hook] [Verse 3] Until my life gets straightened out, I'll still be doing me Cause I ain't changing who I am, I'm changing where I need to be And I ain't changing what I do, but I am changing how I see The world, cause I know that the world can't stop for only me Ugh People always talk and I'm the one to hit ignore And not listen to their sh** cause they just closing open doors Shooting down your dreams getting you saying "this ain't for me no more" When you got 'Other options' that your a** fails to perform Never intimidate Be yourself and you'll do great Cause I'll be goddamned if someone tries to degrade, me Ya'll know my f**ing name, not my f**ing life story So to help ya'll understand I'm chilling here with this mic recording Now... [Hook]
