This the realest shit you'll ever know
Never sell your soul
When in doubt, know you can't go wrong sticking to the code
Poke your chest, never hold your breath
Don't let em see you stress
It's a test, show em who's the best
Providing on your own
Time is money
Can't afford to waste it
Each dream is what you make it
My life is more than sacred
So I employ my anguish
Growth and love is all it takes
For me to make my way
From feeling like a slave
Knowing I was born from greatness
I had somethings to say
Went and found my voice
Had to make the choice
Bearer of the torch
Plant the seed of self
Took my mental notes
Energy I've felt
Play the cards I'm dealt
Grateful for the vision
Cuz this sight legendary
Thinking back to days
Could barely even see
Life was but a dream
Never was I ever really sleep
Ripping by the seams
Cautionary tales
Of devil schemes
So I steady gleam
Shining like the star
I'm meant to be
Change is imminent
Make a choice
You gotta live wit it
Skills be limitless
I get love from all my women friends
Check the intellect
Goals and dreams
They need to intersect
Let's get into it
Volunteer my time and energy
Just remember who you was
Who you dreamed that you can be
Redefining these alignments
Call it perfect symmetry
I was starving
Hunger pains
Wit no food for me to eat
I got tired being hungry
Made the moves for we to feast
Spread the wealth for Inner me
Got myself if anything
Thankful for the basics
Family and my squad
The MVPs
Got me feeling like I'm capable
Of doing anything
Stay creative
Never been complacent wit my misery
Have some fun
Spark your lighters up
Meditate on love
All we got is us
Find a way
To rise up out the slum
Once our time is up
Make sure that they know
That God's wit us
In the grind we trust
Focus on a way to get the funds
This the realest shit you'll ever know
Never sell your soul
When in doubt, know you can't go wrong sticking to the code
Poke your chest, never hold your breath
Don't let em see you stress
It's a test, show em who's the best
Providing on your own
