BOI BLEW - Clear Path Lyrics

I never got to go to college, wanted to though
Didn't really had a choice my parents was broke
Still I was rich in my mind collecting pieces of time
Had the faith but the hope was becoming harder to find
Hope for better life hope for a better me.
Hopes I can stop f*cking around and start a family
Hopes to break generational curses when writing verses
Sometimes it glitters like gold yet still turns out to be worthless
Like am I in it for the fame or the game
Should I flow like Rick Should I ball like dame
Coulda bin stuck in the streets and be a all out shame
Descended 6 feet under while relatives crying my name
But it ain't bout you start where you plan to go,
Sometimes you gotta make away before you pave the road
I found my footing in this thing called life
Now the future ain't never seem so bright
And It don't matter who likes ya
And It don't matter who likes ya
And It don't matter who likes ya
They said I changed for the money nah I changed cause I was broke
Had a dollar and a dream but that shit couldn't buy no dope
Or so I thought, What if I wrote down every train of thought
For the people that relate maybe my words could touch a heart
Turn a prince into a king princess into a queen
Remember where you from don't give a f*ck bout where you been
Black sheep turned prodigal son
Grammy speech been written since I gripped the mic back in 2001
On fire like the tip of the blunt
Even when you give your best these motherf*ckers still gone say what they want
F*ck em, I'm steady chasing my dreams as if my name was Usain
Dream of a sold out scotia while people screaming my name
But it ain't bout you start where you plan to go,
Sometimes you gotta make away before you pave the road
I found my footing in this thing called life
Now the future ain't never seem so bright
And It don't matter who likes ya
And It don't matter who likes ya
And It don't matter who likes ya
