Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if you plan to come and claim it hope you called all your friends
'Cause baby you got a long road ahead full a troubles
Consider this a warning, ain't gon' say it again
'Cause baby I didn't come too far to get here and lose
And I didn't pay the million something dollars in blues
So if you don't believe me or just feeling breezy
And see that I got passion and it's deeper then yours
Passion and I'ma use it to score
I got passion deep in my soul
Victory is mine so let the trumpets blow
I got a passion to get what I want
And my determination keeps me patient and strong
But you see I been waiting and waiting too long
Victory is meant for me and you gon' see I'm a star
'Cause baby I didn't come too far to get here and fail
Forty hours counting dollars ain't been suitin' too well
So if you wanna try me then go head and try me
'Cause soon your eyes will see and it won't be hard to tell
That baby I got passion and it's deeper then yours
Passion and I'ma use it to score
I got passion deep in my soul
Victory is mine so let the trumpets blow
I got passion and it's deeper then yours
Passion and I'ma use it to score
I got passion deep in my soul
Victory is mine so let the trumpets blow
Won't you come and take a look in my eyes'
To see that I've got the heart to make my dreams come to life
Won't you come and take a walk in my shoes'
Ain't no slacking, no distractions, got no time to lose
