Shon Weathers - Dedication lyrics

(Intro) Yeah Yo Yaya yo yo Yo Yaya yo yo (Verse 1) Yo, straight up Im scared to be an artist One day I'm feeling my lyrics, because most these rappers retarded And then Cole or Drake will drop a track When I hear it, it's like I'm parting with my soul It take a toll on my spirit I start to question my methods like They at the top do I deserve to be near it? Do I deserve to even pursue a career where I compete for they fans? Where I compete to be the bigger man? See Of course I love my music But will the ma**es understand Will the people receive my message the way I plan? Will I make an impact, or fall as flat as ancient european maps? Will I be remembered or fall to the back of all your minds? Feel like I'm wasting time With artists like that around how the f** I'm supposed to get mine? Man how am I supposed to shine? They tell you dream big and crush yours with every line Thats irony at its finest... I'm not the target but I'm stuck in the crossfire, and the bullets Well my favorites are behind it And they dont even know me I ain't even signed yet Imagine their attack when I finally pose threat (Hook x2) I got my mind on lock (Late nights and early mornings) Got my grind on lock (Work, school, then recording) Its hard to keep it pushing when there's other obligations I'm just hoping I get recognition for my dedication (Verse 2) Constantly second guessing Me second guessing is stressing I need to just count my blessings Cause many people confessing They messing with all my music Your talented boy dont lose it But use it, abuse it, prove it You got what it takes to do this Now my confidence is boosted Pick up the pen again I start to write, but my words They ain't coming out how I'm thinking I think I got the block, frustrated I start to doubt Wonder if I do blow up, could I keep putting songs out? Huh One hit wonder One album wonder, that's not the route I'm trying to take I'm trying to be consistent man that's how you end up great But when you so persistent yet you don't know what to say It kinda weighs on you heavy Chasing for that catchy hook the way that Tom chases Jerry searching for Catchy flows, wordplay And melodies Music supposed to be for me It's hard to find the balance between what I want to say and what's keeping the people pleased (Hook x2) (Verse 3) Now If you know me then you know it's true Almost like the bible, truth is all I speak to you And I decided I'ma make a living doing what I love to do It ain't a dream no more cause now I just pursue and Find it ironic how they call it rapping Because I'm taking my gift and giving it to you The only one that won't appreciate it is the fool But I don't pay them no mind, I can't afford to I'm on a college budget Finishing is the mission My mind is occupied with the books My money occupied with tuition And in between the aforementioned, I gotta squeeze out some time for the venting and rhyming sentences Keep the faith in the man above and my music, I wonder what his intention is He gave me the sk**s and so I use it, to the best of my ability Confident if money talks I'ma be speaking fluently (Outro) Late nights and early mornings (Got my mind on lock) Work, school, then recording (Got my grind on lock) Everyday I end up yawning (Nah I ain't gone stop) One day i swear, I'ma be touring (Nah Just, let me rock) Just leave it to the dedication (Let me rock) Where I'm at now I ain't complacent (I ain't gone stop) Just leave it to the dedication (Let me rock) Where I'm at now I ain't complacent
