There's only one way up and that's exactly what I live by As a youngin, I would Half a** just to get by Times have changed, Shades of grey, to them clear days Rain to shine, Walk the line, Baby it's game time I shine bright homie I don't need bling Not defined by materials, define me for my dreams The clock tickin and it's never gonna stop So I'm tryna get it, Never sleep til I'm on top I got a lot of weight on my back and on my shoulders But a team behind me, Yes I got an army full of soldiers Run the streets and I ain't talkin in a hood way Positive movement, I'm only talkin in a good way Makin the way and reducin the weight, I be k**in all negatives day by the day Climb up from the downfall, you gotta operate Break it down, never let it break down you Cuz you can do whatever you like, your grind is what you'll amount to Get off your a** son! That's what pops told me If I was f**in up and slackin off then he would scold me Life ain't easy, Sometimes it may be breezy But never get too comfortable And live everyday uniquely I thank god everyday I wake up Struggles compensate success, And That's just the work of the nature Positively speaking for the people feelin down It's just how life rolls, We got the smiles and the frowns Just, Laugh for the better, Obtain your cool under pressure We all are destined to mess up, Just get up and resume the adventure Pocket full of pennies yet I still got a smile Runnin a hundred miles and I still got a smile Be thankful for what u got instead of dwell on what you don't Use the word faith more than you use the word hope I think it's funny how we all get over these opinions Cuz we all got different ears and we all got different visions
