[unknown] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sipping henny thinking heavy trying not to lose it
This life a maze I'm amazed how I move through it
I love the game I love the hustle I come from nothing
When times was hard I stood up tall like Bill Russell
I've been through pain
I've been through loss
I had my struggles
A lot of weight i lift with ease
They pulling muscles
My plate heavy but I'm ready to feast
All niggas sound the same
Don't compare them to me
I got my heart in this shit
You gone feel every beat
I had my mind in the clouds trying to stay out the streets
I knew i had it from the start back wit swagg ent
And i was just a kid then still got witty on beats
But times changed and I'm older got the flow under control
Ain't no telling how far I'll go
But ima take this gift and make a mountain of gold
And take my loved ones to places only money can

They said i couldn't and i did
Even as a kid on my dreams they tried to shit
My mind was on the prize since then
But you know time complicated and
It's decades later but fuck it we still here
I used to dream of better living
But now I'm living it
No more money problems
The shit we making ridiculous
Started from the bottom at the top is where I'm finishing
They tried to tell me how to do it but they never did this shit
I swear success is in arm reach
Millions to be made, trying to live under palm tree
Did it by myself go to war with no army
Just a few people that are down to support me
I couldn't believe they believed in me
Cuz where I'm from they don't believe winning
And all the young niggas keep sinning
That's all we know when we chasing a dream
Just trying to live life being who I'm destined to be

Just trying to live life being who I'm destined be
Look up in the mirror tell me what do you see
A wise young nigga just chasing his dreams

Yeah
Yeah

I say
I say
I say
I say

It's my time to shine so Ima glow bright
Was in the dark for too long I found light




It's my time to shine so ima glow bright
Was in the dark for too long I found light

@kitcat2449
