My Name
H.I.R.A Lyrics

My whole life is a lesson
My entire existence has been a learning experience

From the wake up to the slumber
From the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep

Whole day I'm stressing
I spend the entire day under pressure

Living check to check
I am only able to make ends meet paycheck to paycheck

I just do it like a Nike collection
I approach life with the same level of consistency and dedication as a Nike sneaker collection

All day I dream about stacks
All day I daydream about accumulating wealth

Earned my stripes I'm respected
I have gained the necessary credit and admiration from my peers after overcoming obstacles and proving myself to be competent

Bulletproof my body
I have taken measures to ensure my physical safety

Take a shot you can tell
If someone tries to harm me, it will be apparent

I'm invested looking at the world
I am committed and engaged in examining the world around me

Through a different scope
My outlook and perspective is unique

Nothing to our name
We have no possessions

All we had was hope
Our only source of comfort was our optimism and faith in better circumstances

Nothing was the same
Everything changed for the worse

When they used them dracs
When they used firearms as a tool of violence

Revenge is served better
Retaliation is more satisfactory when you haven't always had the upper hand

When you never ate
When you have experienced hunger and struggled to survive

All these n****s yapping have me annoyed
All this talking from other people is getting on my nerves

In my higher self
In my spiritual and personal development

Ain't talking bout being self-employed
I am not referring to being self-sufficient, but rather about my own growth as a person

Boss n***a stepping
I am taking on more responsibility and becoming a leader

Trying to get it yeah CEO
I am striving for success and power, just like a CEO

Game 5 we tied
In this high-stakes competition, we are equally matched

My next win going be pivotal
The outcome of my next victory will be crucial for my future success

N***a I be concerned when I'm ever voice of reason
I become worried when I am the only one level-headed in a situation

Squad raise hell
My team creates chaos and uproar

You should know that we really demons
You should be aware that we are formidable and intimidating

Call the play and throw it up
Make a decision and take a chance

Reminiscent of Willie Beamen
Similar to the character Willie Beamen from the movie 'Any Given Sunday'

Optical illusion if you think It's me you really seeing never that
It's a trick of the mind if you believe you are truly seeing me

All I see is enemies
I am surrounded by adversaries

The writing's on the wall
The signs of impending doom are clear

Let it show
Let it be known

It was never mine
It was never in my possession

Then I swear I'll never know
Then I am certain that I will never find out

Fighting through the pain
Enduring the hardships

Just to see what I can gain
So that I can achieve personal gain and progress

Put it all on me
It all depends on me

Cause my name is my name
Because my identity and reputation is everything

When it rain it pours
When it rains problems, it pours

One life to live
We only have one life to live

What you waiting for
What are you waiting for? Take action

My soul a heavy price to pay
There are serious consequences for my actions and decisions that affect my moral character

Oh that I can't afford
I am not willing to pay that price

Word to my father
I swear to my father

None of these n****s can son me
No one can belittle or disrespect me

We flirted with death
We have come close to death

Just to Live on Sunday's
Just to get by enough to live on Sundays

Fast money slow money
Money can be made quickly or slowly

Getting both what's the difference
There is no difference between getting money quickly or slowly

Had to split from n****s
I had to separate myself from certain people

Cause they couldn't see the vision
They did not share my aspirations and goals

Multiplying our wealth
We are increasing our financial resources

Notice I said our
I emphasize that this benefit is shared amongst us, not just individually

This ain't never been bout myself
This has never been just for my own gain

If you ain't adding you subtracting
If you are not contributing to the success, you are hindering it

Do the math for yourself
Figure it out yourself

Learned if it ain't in the cards
I have learned that if it is not meant to be

Don't stress over hands I was dealt
Do not worry about the circumstances beyond my control

Some things aren't meant To be helped
There are some things that cannot be fixed

Yeah I point up
Yes, I look up to the heavens

To the sky thankful to be alive
Grateful for my life and existence

Memoirs of my past
Reflections of my history

Could make my present sound like a lie
My past misdeeds could seem unbelievable given my present success and growth

IQ the hits
My intelligence is evident in my successful ventures

If you test my intelligence
If my intellect is put to the test

My love for a dollar
My passion and drive for money

Got it all truly making sense
It all makes sense given my focus on financial gain

Yeah fell in love with these bars
Yes, I am enamored with these lyrics

Like a crime lord
Like a powerful figure in a life of crime

I need an encore
I want another opportunity to showcase my talent

They lack respect for big 'Shtro
They do not show proper admiration for me

You know leave these rappers Up in the dust
You know that I am superior to these other rappers

My name is my name
My reputation and identity is everything

That's all I got til My time is up double up
That's all I have until my time runs out, then I must make the most of it while I'm still here
