I wish everyone I knew got to reach for they dreams
You could never fill my shoes, if you scared of defeat
If it cost to pay attention be aware of the fee
Take a flight, overlooking the ocean
Pop a bottle, If you feeling the motions
Spill the champagne on ya outfit
Cus you don’t give a fuck what nobody think
You gotta live it up when you pour a drink
Make sure you think of things you did to get here huh
This is my house now and you do not live here huh
Micheal Phelps how I swim through the pressure
I’m just a man with a message, take it back to the essence
Ironic how my hands dirty but I’m cleaning up messes I’m drawn
Confessions of kid who felt he never belonged
Now they tryna calculate on what level he on
It’s pays being me, I would never be yawl


So much reaching, their rotary cuff aint workin'
I told em Im far from perfect
I showed them my flaws in person
I feel for other people more than I feel for myself
So if we ain’t speaking that’s cus your bad for my health
We got a lot to look forward to
Few and far between
Understand what it take
When your destined to be great
You know I gotta eat
I invested in my steak
When all’s said and done
I was known to clean the plate
To my brothers and sisters
I love and I miss ya
I know I ain’t been around
But I hope that you listen
It take sacrifices to make things come to fruition
What would I done if I didn’t
Never be comfortable pippen
No matter the highs and lows
You gotta believe it all
Cus they love seeing you fall
I promise we inchin in closer
Even though you feel it’s far




Everything is for the taking
I promise you on my heart we goin make it
