C.T. Freeman Lyrics

Ever since I was A kid
Since I was a child, I have always wanted to be successful.

I always wanted to be big
I have always wanted to be successful.

And not in this particular matter
However, I did not know I would become a rapper.

I never thought I'd be a rapper
I did not envision myself becoming a rapper.

Neither Youtube or be a barber
I did not see myself becoming a YouTuber or a barber either.

But whatever chance I got in life
Regardless of the opportunities presented to me, I always strive to work hard and succeed.

I know I’ll always try harder
I am committed to constantly pushing myself to be better.

And this be another chapter
This song represents a new chapter in my life.

A chapter for a teen
This song is meant to inspire and encourage other teenagers.

To also soon be big
To also aspire to be successful and achieve their dreams.

And that’s me
I am currently a seventeen-year-old boy.

And rn I’m 17
Currently, I am seventeen years old.

Where will God take me
I am curious to see where my life takes me, and I trust in God's plan for me.

A kid that is a feen
I am a kid who is driven and determined to achieve success.

Experienced hard things
I have had challenges and struggles in my life so far.

Like peer pressure, taking drugs
These struggles include peer pressure and drug use.

People all on my spleen
People have judged and criticized me for my choices and actions.

Like why are people like this
I question why some people are so negative and wish harm upon others.

They want to see us hurt
These negative people enjoy seeing others suffer.

They wanna see us lose
They derive pleasure from seeing others fail.

Like what do I deserve
I ponder what I have done to deserve this negativity from others.

If we all felt pain would we relate
Perhaps if everyone experienced pain, we could better understand and empathize with one another.

Because not everyone lives a perfect life
Not everyone has a perfect life free of struggles or challenges.

I know that wasn’t me
I personally have not had a perfect or easy life.

My life isn’t butterflies
My life has its difficulties and struggles.

But I stay lookin at the sky
Despite the struggles, I maintain my hope and optimism for the future.

Cuz we start from somewhere
We all have to start somewhere in our journey to success.

And we get what we need
Through hard work and determination, we can achieve what we need.

We always gotta put passion
We must always put our passion into what we do.

And we never have greed
We should strive for success without becoming greedy or selfish.

I want my spotlight let me be the star
I want to be successful and known for my work.

We all equal I’m not in this for the money or for the cars
I aspire to success for personal satisfaction and not for material possessions.

But for the fame
I aspire to be known and recognized for my work and talent.

I want people to know my name
I want my work and name to be recognized by others.

I want them cheering for me
I desire for others to support and appreciate my work and success.

That’s the satisfaction that I greed
This recognition and appreciation is what motivates and brings me satisfaction.

But I know that I got a plan
I have a plan for success and how to achieve my goals.

And you got one too
Others also have their own plans for success and should work towards them.

What separates me from you is that I'm committed baby boo
My commitment to success is what sets me apart from others.

What you know what I’m talking about
You know what I am discussing and can relate to my message.

Teens my age rn either smoking weed and having sex
Many teenagers these days engage in unhealthy and risky activities such as drug use and sex.

Bitch I’m built different
I am unique and different from others in my focus and commitment to success.

I know I can talk about a lot of things
I am capable of discussing a variety of topics and experiences.

But I don’t spill what I can talk about
However, I choose not to disclose everything I am capable of discussing.

I’m barely on this project
I am still early in my journey to success and have much to learn.

And the effort you put to things
Effort and hard work are essential to achieving success.

Will always show an effect
This hard work and effort will yield positive results and success.

So you better reflect
It is important to reflect on past mistakes and learn from them.

On your mistakes from your past
One must examine and learn from their past mistakes to succeed.

Cuz that don’t define you
Mistakes do not define who you are or what you can achieve.

And we can only advance
We can only move forward and progress from our mistakes and failures.

We can only show
Our actions and choices reflect who we are and what we can achieve.

Our actions to our cast
We must show our abilities and dedication to others in society.

Which is society
Our ability to succeed and contribute to society is important.

Cuz yes we always gotta have a blast
We should enjoy and celebrate life, even while striving for success.

You gotta act good no matter if no one is lookin
We should always act ethically and morally, regardless of who is or isn't watching.

That’s the nature of maturing
This ethical behavior is a sign of growth and maturity.

And guys always stay lookin
While this maturity is important, others are always watching and judging our behavior.

And not guys but girls as well
Females also observe and judge our behavior and actions.

The person for you will arrive
The right person for you will come into your life when the time is right.

So worry about excelling
Focus on succeeding and achieving excellence in your life.

My knowledge always repelling
My intelligence and knowledge is a powerful tool in achieving my success.

And no matter what happens just be happy and be urself
No matter what obstacles or challenges may occur, it is important to remain true to oneself and find happiness.

That’s the Beaty of this life
The beauty of life lies in the ability to remain true to oneself and find happiness amidst the challenges.

Cuz we always compare
Humans always compare themselves to others to measure success and happiness.

And that’s something we all share
This human tendency to compare is a common trait among all people.

Cuz we wanna do that
We compare ourselves to others because we desire to achieve success and happiness ourselves.

And we also follow trends
We also seek to follow current trends and fads in order to fit in and belong.

Like why not be ourselves
However, instead of following trends and trying to fit in, we should be ourselves and embrace our uniqueness.

And also fuck all yo friends
We should not feel pressure to conform to our friends' expectations or influence.

If they don’t accept you for you who you is
If our friends do not accept us for who we are, then they are not true friends.

Are they even really your friends
If our friends judge and criticize us, then they are not true friends.

Like damn they judge you for your house
Judging someone based on their material possessions or background is wrong.

It all really depends
Our friends and relationships depend on mutual respect and acceptance of one another.

Cuz Think about this
Consider this thought.

What if they always been fake
What if our friends have always been fake or insincere?

They stab you in the back
They may betray us and cause us harm in the end.

And you took that forsaken
We suffer the consequences of not recognizing these fake relationships.

And no I am not playin
These issues are serious and not to be taken lightly.

I’m just saying
I am simply expressing my thoughts on this topic.

You be careful with who you hangin
We should be cautious and selective with whom we associate and build relationships with.

Cuz we starting from the bottom and we will always be obeying
We are all starting at the bottom in life and must adhere to societal expectations and norms.

Yeah you better be happy
Despite the challenges and obstacles, it is important to find and cultivate personal happiness.

No matter what is happening
Regardless of our circumstances and struggles, we should try to remain positive and find happiness.

Be humble and fuck negativity
We should remain grounded and humble, while disregarding negativity and hate from others.

What a shitty feeling
Negativity from others can cause us to feel terrible and demotivated.

Yeah, what a shitty Feeling
Negativity is a truly unpleasant feeling.

Yeah I stay committing baby boo
I remain committed and dedicated to my personal success and goals.

And I'm never feeling blue
I do not allow negativity or sadness to prevent me from succeeding.

You what I'm saying
Do you understand my message and point of view?

Young Sintra, Yeah I'm reppin
This is Young Sintra and I am representing my personal values and message through this song.
