Reflections
F.D.R. Lyrics

This to all my People who had to reflect On whatever they had to do Until the moment of where they at
This is a song for all those who have had to reflect on the choices they made to get to where they are now.

See We all got a time We all got a moment Where we gotta reflect On where we came from And where we trynna be And where we trynna go
We all have a moment in our lives where we need to reflect on where we've come from, where we want to be, and where we want to go.

You never know Listen To the days that Some niggas might have been In the kitchen Or in the booth Or on the court Or on the field Or in the job Or in the Or in the whip Trynna get some Bread, or a brick
You never know what someone had to do to get where they are today - it could have been working in the kitchen, in the booth, on the court, field, job, or even in the car trying to make ends meet by earning some money.

You see You was a kid right You did what you had to do, right You was in the moments Thinking I wanna be a doctor A lawyer I wanna be A firefighter I wanna be, a politician Until you, get older and realize That, politician's ain't shit And being, a Firefighter Or a medical servant Really, ain't much neither But Somebody gotta do it That maybe you Or you Let's reflect
When you were a kid, you had dreams of being a doctor, a lawyer, or a firefighter, but as you got older, you realized that those jobs might not be what you thought they were. Nevertheless, someone has to do those jobs, and it could be you.

When I was a kid, back In elementary school I had to realize that Even though I was big I had the big plans, for my future Even though I got teased I had, the mind And heart of a lion Andre The Giant A nickname, that may been passed on From a few, no Going strong And building on And keep towering over My past Perception of myself And I noticed That the time When I needed some help I noticed, I got my help But, I know now That my future goin' be What it's gonna be And all my do Is in my mind And tell myself What my future is goin' be
As a kid, FDR had big plans for his future, despite being teased for being big. He realized he had the heart and mind of a lion, and he was given the nickname of Andre the Giant, which he takes with pride. He also recognizes that in times of need, he was able to get the help he needed, and now, he knows that his future is what he makes of it by keeping a positive mindset.

If I wanna be a billionaire Then I'ma think I'ma billionaire Then I will be a billionaire That's how it works If you think You ain't gonna be here tomorrow You might not be Um And if you think Your past will be your future Then that's what it's goin' be But you always know If you trust yourself You will always know What you goin' be And how you goin' do it And every time you wake up, you know, you goin' get it And every time you sleep You think about the next day And every time you wake up You think about the other day Sometimes you go back in the past To make your future get bright To get out Of your darkness And shine all your light
If you want to be a billionaire, you have to believe that you are one. Your mindset can dictate your reality, so if you believe that you won't be here tomorrow, you may not be. However, if you trust in yourself, you will know what you want to be and how to accomplish it. You have to wake up every day with the drive to get what you want, and even when you go back in your past, do so to learn from it and make your future bright.

Until You go to be a better person Every time you think about it Like you never heard it You always had it, but you Now you gotta get it, and now You hear from different people And different positions from Your parents or friends, that you know forever Or just for a moment They put you on better than people, you know your whole life Ain't that some shit But dam Ain't this the shit That you need to hear For your time, that you Trynna get better Every single day And every time you straight A where you from the What the Goal was For your own, in days For your time in greatness You notice that You gotta get that back It's yourself, now Reflection on your life Each time, everyday You know what, you goin' be great that's If you think it, that way But if you don't You won't get it, that way Life reflection Will be To this point You goin' be great, just know that For the one's that need to hear And you gotta hear But just know If you ain't goin' be great That's on you But if you are It's on you You see how that works Change your mind To change the difference A pass the generational curses, that put on From other people And other TV shows, that Try to make you look like You had to go sell crack Or had to go Rob and kill Or had to drink Lean and pills You had to go get something That somebody else had You had to look like You had to be From another country To realize who you are But home is right here Where you standing at Is right here Heart and charity Starts at home Remember that Yeah
In order to be a better person, you need to hear things from different people in different positions, even if they are different from what you know. When you reflect on your life, you realize that you have the power to be great, but only if you have a positive mindset. You need to change your mind in order to make a difference and pass on positive values to the next generation, instead of falling prey to the stereotypes perpetuated by TV shows. Remember that home is where you stand, and a good heart and charitable spirit starts right there.

This is for All my future kids Never hold a gun, and never have to chase a bid Do everything that's right, that you gotta do I understand, that you, do what you gotta do I understand, that you Do what you gotta do Don't ever be nobody, you ain't gotta be Don't ever do nothing, you ain't gotta do This for everything that you know, that you gotta do And do make your whole life, that you know Is best for you And your fam And future fam That you know Unless you Gotta do something that Hopefully, is best for yourself Never let nobody tell you You gotta work for 'em You got your own gifts You can profit off of Make a million Or you could be comfortable enough To live your life Do everything to have, the kids and your wife Or have a good husband Sons and daughters Family I may have both Or just one Never know At this time I think of life My reflection is, what the greatness is, and lies My future is bright, and my future is great But my time is working Can make the change It may not know I had my visions But I may not know Sometimes You may not know
This song is also for FDR's future kids, who he wants to do the right thing and not have to resort to crime. He understands that sometimes you have to do what you have to do, but you should always strive to do what is best for yourself and your family. You have your own gifts that you can profit off of, whether it's making a million or just being comfortable enough to live your life. His future is bright, but he knows that he needs to work to make it happen, and sometimes, you may not know what the future holds.
