Destiny
Jimmy Davis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They think they’ve seen me hungry, that was mere glimpse
They thought I was on it then and haven’t come near since
They think the drive comes in insincere stints
That the chances of further enhancing my career shrinks
At the same rate, as their iq
They could never envisage a dream and don’t even try to
Their whole lives they were lied to
By themselves, aspirations as superficial as what’s inside you
But this is real and I’ve got goals
I’m swimming oceans, climbing mountains and walking over hot coals
To make sure this achievable
Fantasy bubble is the life that you’ve been living this is believable
I’m gunning for my targets like an assassin
While their anticlimactic lives are passing
No drive just stalling but Davis heard his calling
Went on to define putting your all in

This is destiny, and this is my fate
Going the distance however long the fight takes
One chance to embark on the journey
Look to my sleeve see my heart on my jersey
They can’t stop this, could never hold me back
This wasn’t a choice it’s been embedded in my soul to rap
Belief, passion, commitment and discipline
I look up to the sky I’m never giving in

Living the big city life like mattafix
Plotting our escape becoming lyrical mavericks
Majority think it’s a mystery and can’t get the consistency
But watch how the beat and the grammar mix
We’re on the breadline bruv nobody’s breaking bread
But we use our dough and our loaf and we’re moving straight ahead
Pioneering, put me in a morgue I assure you my enthusiasm alone
Would motivate the dead! I’m so on it
And you should marvel at it no comic
With your mechanical flow sounding robotic
I’ve heard many say the bloke’s got it
Then the haters come along and try and tell me that there’s no logic
Damn right little muppet it’s Cubase driven
This is a gift from above by God’s grace given
Constantly ponder delivery of sentences like I face prison
Straight from the heartbeat of Great Britain

This is destiny, and this is my fate
Going the distance however long the fight takes
One chance to embark on the journey
Look to my sleeve see my heart on my jersey
They can’t stop this, could never hold me back
This wasn’t a choice it’s been embedded in my soul to rap
Belief, passion, commitment and discipline
I look up to the sky I’m never giving in

Walking down the only road I know
Obstacles to overcome my dedication overflows
Strolling down the path I chose
Saw my hunger increasing and watched as the passion rose
Running to my destination
Searching for answers like archaeology and excavation
Digging deep, I know I’ve got the will to keep
Scaling the biggest peaks that others couldn’t begin to reach
Any form of discouragement bruv we expel
You would think I work for Microsoft the way I excel
They wanna judge me like I’m in the dock
And think I owed music my life cos I’m giving it everything I’ve got
The hardest working artist in the business bar none
They’re saying, you the, you the best
Because I’m so far gone




They think they’re in it for the massive wealth and can’t see
You cannot travel the path until you become the path itself
