Boots hit the ground
Time to start the clock
Ain't nobody watching, waiting for anything beautiful to drop
It's game day maybe someday I can make it to the top, for now
All I got is a dream in my pocket and a whole lot of
Walls up, feeling stuck
Got a body, feeling lazy, going fast to let it chase me
I can see the vision clearly, tends to get a little blurry
When I start to listen to the negativity of my jury
Hesitation kills your progress
Let the bad out, let the good in
Only problem that I have I don't know where to begin
In my fantasies, it's easy bet the road gets pretty tricky
Got a lot to learn ahead of me, my family they depend on me
A ton of goals
Don't know where to take the first step
Seems like it's running from me, I'll catch up eventually but
These sprints get me winded
Guess I should've known that I enlisted in a marathon and not a sprint
Oh yeah I get it
I know
That I've, gotta put in work if I wanna come up
See it with my mind before I see it with my eyes
You've got big dreams, ya
Don't let your pride talk up your humble self-esteem, though
Battling critics and myself know what I mean, woah
Got your attention about now it's time to Glean now
So here we go
Walk into my talent show
Broken compass heading north
Lost trying to find my way home
There is one thing that I know
You can be late to the show
Have a big label I don't
It's just a wall that I own
Watch it fall like Jericho
Hey! look at me, every move that I make seems to be perfection
I don't grab seats in the common sections
But I've been grinding my whole life and
That just seems to be true for those who started with full hands
And with the right connections
You've got money, cool, happy? no, tank's on low?
Think you're pretty wealthy?
Go ahead and check the bank account of the cemetery
Billions collected never reached their full potential
Staring at tall walls can make you feel little
Little thoughts lead to little dreams
Bigger thoughts to bigger things
Everything ain't what it seems
You get what you only see
See you never reach your greatest measure thinking small thoughts only finding pleasure
Feeling pressure, quitting soon
Why would I stop even though their's pain in discipline
And gains in listening to every single word that builds up confidence
I don't consent to permanent absences of common sense
I like to use my head to get ahead yo, am I making sense
I know
That I've gotta put in work if I wanna come up
See it with my mind before I see it with my eyes
You've got big dreams, ya
Don't let your pride talk up your humble self-esteem, though
Battling critics and myself know what I mean, woah
Got your attention about now it's time to Glean now
So here we go
Walk into my talent show
Broken compass heading north
Lost trying to find my way home
There is one thing that I know
You can be late to the show
Have a big label I don't
It's just a wall that I own
Watch it fall like Jericho
Friday's I go to my room to record and
I talk about lessons don't put up your guard
Tryna write big lyrics to start a commotion
I double the butter it's smoother than yours
I'm coming hot, maybe not what you want
Not robbing your time but your clock won't stop
Get loose with the lyrics my flow won't stop
Keep pushing to the top while I'm
Putting in work while I'm grinding
Mistakes I keep finding
While I work two other jobs this is my third and I'm trying
To start a career for my wife that I'm lying in bed with every single night
And I promise I'm finding my purpose and striving to better my character
Footstep is higher than most of the average players
I love on my haters
Let me take a breath
I can't do this on my own
I need my God to help me grow
Not gonna try this on my own
In the fast lane going slow
Take my time this busy road
Building character I know
To keep me humble on platforms
Don't need another Jericho
Nothing I can't, do when
God on my side, dream big
Planning it out, pin and
Paper I draw, my script
Marching around, my dreams
Gave it God, smooth seas
Promise I will, come back
Moving up, now watch me
