Angel Cintron Lyrics

Momma told me gotta be realistic
My mother advised me to be practical and grounded in my approach to my dreams.

I know you think I can't go the distance
I am aware that you doubt my capabilities and potential for success.

Maybe that's why I don't listen
Perhaps that is the reason why I do not pay attention to your negative opinions.

Maybe that's why I go so hard for this shit
It could be the motivation behind my relentless pursuit of my goals.

Lately I've been thinkin' that I'm different
I have been reflecting on my uniqueness and individuality recently.

Maybe I just gotta make some decisions
Perhaps I need to make some tough choices to advance in my career.

I can't trip if they ain't fucking with the vision
I cannot let the disapproval of others discourage me from my aspirations.

'Cause I can't sit around hoping and wishing
I cannot afford to waste time hoping and dreaming without taking action towards my goals.

I got ideas too big for my hometown
My dreams are too significant and ambitious to remain limited to my current location.

I can't stay right here
I cannot stay stagnant in my hometown if I want to achieve my goals.

You can catch me on the way up
You will find me in the process of succeeding and achieving my goals.

There ain't nothing left to say, uh
I do not want to hear any more negative comments or discouragement.

Making plays, that's a lay-up
I am achieving my goals easily and confidently.

Keep sleeping, I'ma stay up
I will continue to work hard and succeed while others underestimate me.

Everybody gotta pay up
Everyone will eventually recognize my value and success, and it will be too late to join me.

I was cooling but I'm all out of chill now
I used to be calm and collected, but now I am driven and focused.

Used to be the fam, ain't too many still down
My family used to support me fully, but now only a few remain loyal.

Caught a little shine, people catching feels now
Since I have achieved some success and recognition, others now want to be a part of my journey.

Shit is real now, folks talking deals now
Now that my success is tangible and evident, people are interested in making deals with me.

They see clear now, that's some visine
Others now understand my vision and potential clearly.

Only day ones, me and my team
I only trust my long-time friends and my team to support me in my endeavors.

I can almost see my house in the hills now
I am close to achieving my ultimate goal, living a luxurious life in the hills.

It's getting real now, don't know how to feel now
As my success and recognition increase, I am unsure how to react and feel.
