Yo
Yeah
I'll talk about how things in life are never what they seem
Let's talk about how getting paid ain't worth the price of dreams
I'll take advice, but take advantage, you will not of me
Remember carried with me is my self esteem
Look
Your life will pay you back for time that you spend
Money ain't a thing if you're the one that's getting it lent
Man, I deposit in my soul a currency not of men
I recommend a state of mind that's holding fast till the end
I tell 'em
I never look back
Past is a part of regret
Present is holding us back
Future is all that I have
I pray that I make it and pay it back to all that I can
A passionate vision will hold more power than a knight's hand
I write a hook and it'll dig at the heart
Follow what you love
That's a journey you should embark
Discipline is needed for the day that you're gonna start
You comin' with or what
Cause I'll be leaving my mark
Yeah
I write a hook and it'll dig at the heart
Follow what you love
That's a journey you should embark
Discipline is needed for the day that you're gonna start
You comin' with or what
Cause I'll be leaving my mark
Yeah
Ready for the way it goes
Petty cons out weigh the pros
Try to sit but life it throws
What it's got until your hope never grows
Listen, I know how it goes
If you miss the lesson life was givin'
It returns
It's pretty cold
But listen
Stay up when it's on the down
They wanna keep us on the low
But they ain't stopping us now
You wanna make a change
Maybe start by making a sound
Cause I've been sick of people hoppin' on the wagon of proud
They set aside a different set of goals
Acting high like edibles
Keep your distance from a fool
Or become what you're closest to
It's something that you're gonna deal with everyday
The bigger the circle, the greater price that you gon' have to pay
I write a hook and it'll dig at the heart
Follow what you love
That's a journey you should embark
Discipline is needed for the day that you're gonna start
You comin' with or what
Cause I'll be leaving my mark
Yeah
I write a hook and it'll dig at the heart
Follow what you love
That's a journey you should embark
Discipline is needed for the day that you're gonna start
You comin' with or what
Cause I'll be leaving my mark
Yeah
This is what I choose to do, and some just don't respect
Cause I ain't getting paid to work, it's like I'm making bets
And people think if you're an artist you'll be cashin' checks
Forget about the money
Do it cause it cause it helps the rest
Do it for the people that you never knew
And always look at others in a way equal to you
A simple action from the soul could be what gets 'em through
You wanna leave your mark, this invitation's for you
I write a hook and it'll dig at the heart
Follow what you love
That's a journey you should embark
Discipline is needed for the day that you're gonna start
You comin' with or what
Cause I'll be leaving my mark
Woo
