Outro
Paul Wall Chamillionaire Lyrics

They said no when I told them that I'd find a way to get to the top
People initially dismissed my ambition to succeed

They didn't know that eventually I'd be the one to worry about
Now that I've achieved success, they're the ones who are envious of me

When someone would mention me, they always tried to say I would flop
Critics doubted my abilities and predicted failure

But this the sound of revenge
My success is a form of revenge against my doubters

Yea
Expressing affirmation and confidence

On the path to find out who's true
In the pursuit of success, I'm learning who my true supporters are

The only person you can really trust is you
Self-belief is crucial in achieving success

And if you feel like you can't even trust you
When doubt creeps in, it can be difficult to trust yourself

Then you can always trust you know who
In times of doubt, trust your instincts and intuition

And if you don't know who you know who is
If you're uncertain about your intuition, you're in trouble

Then I feel so sorry for you
Not trusting yourself is a major barrier to success

Cause that's really the only person that can judge you
Ultimately, you're the only one who knows what's best for you

Critics, people that wanna see you fail will tell you what you can't do
Negative influences will try to limit your potential

Shouldn't do and must do
They'll try to impose their beliefs on you

But when you got that glow
When you're in the zone and confident in your abilities

Nobody else's words can really budge you
No one can bring you down when you're at your best

Revenge has always been looked upon as a sin
Taking revenge is often viewed as immoral

And sometimes you feel like you had to sin to win
At times, you may resort to immoral means to achieve success

Sometime it sound like :gunshot:
Achieving success can be as intense as a gunshot

Is what it coulda been
It's easy to get caught up in what could have happened

When you get to the gates of Heaven they probably wouldn't let ya in
Success achieved through immoral means may not be enough for entry into heaven

But ya change that meanin' up and success is what it is in the end
You can redefine success by achieving it without compromising your values

And instead of worryin' about what shoulda, coulda, woulda been
It's better to focus on the present and future instead of the past

Ya turn your head toward the future and keep it movin'
Continuing to work hard and advance forward is key to success

Know what I'm sayin'?
Asking for agreement or understanding

Well say it again
Reinforcing the message to keep pushing forward

Screw it then
If someone doesn't believe in your success, ignore them and focus on your goals

If you're waitin' for me to fail, your time is runnin' out on that clock
Those who doubt my success will eventually be proven wrong

I'm runnin' to the finish yea, when I get there I ain't gonna stop
Persistence and determination will help me reach my goals

Success is what I couldn't have, but now I tell em look what I got
My success is proof that I can achieve what was once impossible

It's the sound of revenge
My success is a form of retaliation against those who doubted me
