Thousand Hours (feat. Brian B Flat Cook) Video (MV)

I'm trying to get up out of these dreams make more realities
Destined for success but often times it comes gradually
Sometimes I get lost in my 9 to 5 like what is really my life
Potential for greatness there but I'm wasting it though my eyes
The people saying be patient
Creating since my mid twenties
A product of desperation and niggas not having money
What do you do when you give your all and gain nothing from it
The people around you eating Could care if yo ass hungry
Shoe on the other foot you still given your last to em
We all from the hood no neighbors was affluent
Hard work some church and the rest is the lord doing
Be a light to others watch blessings start overflowing
Trying to improve daily a man I'm still growing
I'm not perfect the lord is still working on me
I got a purpose just wanna help my homies
Just wanna love people better starting with my momma

We give the power to the people believe it its ours
Working for success takes thousands of hours
And we ask and we ask for the strength that allow us
The Power to Empower

We give the power to the people believe it its ours
Working for success takes thousands of hours
And we ask and we ask for the strength that allow us
The Power to Empower

We're all born the same that's a close examination
It's all relative on this race when they debating
Or maybe you can dribble till your Spaulding gets deflated
Chill up in that trap saying screw an education
Or maybe that's a cop out
Just wait for him to drop out
And drop a few buns that a baby mama pop out
They glorify the trap cause they trapped
General consensus don't know how to act
Taking out they own did with no honor
If you don't do it for you do it your mama
Do it for them shifts that she working
Try to make your life as perfect
Your all that really matter when she thinks about the earth and
Hoping for the best pray her son has a purpose
The greatest thing happen was the day that she birthed ya
She gave you motivation on the days you couldn't do it
Brought you back from sickness on the days you needed fluids

We give the power to the people believe it its ours
Working for success takes thousands of hours
And we ask and we ask for the strength that allow us
The Power to Empower

We give the power to the people believe it its ours
Working for success takes thousands of hours
And we ask and we ask for the strength that allow us
The Power to Empower

Focus loss it tended to drifting off
Tho intentions is infinite going in for this
God giving from odd living
Hard liquor check da heart in em
Ain't at all giving shit how you start winning
My pen in this business getting offended
Um authentic injury's enemy had inflicted
That's all business its at ah must
I catapult from dat bama dust
Um home grown so the grammar stuck
Lack of trust keep the Hammer tuck
It ain't enough I was up then shit outta luck
Like what the f*ck it
I can truck it if I gotta force it
Nike forces
Through the gravel get shit outta faucets
Got my sources for the fortune
They'll pop ah couple now u an orphan
Robitussin it can't do ah thing for this type of coffin
It was often I see my niggas carried in those boxes
From the toxins it's like with them um burying my options R I P

We give the power to the people believe it its ours
Working for success takes thousands of hours
And we ask and we ask for the strength that allow us
The Power to Empower

We give the power to the people believe it its ours
Working for success takes thousands of hours
