Perseverance Video (MV)

(Swats on the beat so you know this shit slaps)
Can't slow me down, I hopped over the clearing
Make an impact they'll remember this perseverance
Goodmornin', I been up since five
Lookin' out the window tryna recognize the other side
No luck, maybe next time, I'm keepin' my pride on the inside
Ever since I was young, I paid for myself
Since then it's been a dream to gain wealth
I did it on my own I never needed no help
And if I ever tell you some you better not tell

Say goodbye to the old life, and enter the new
I done been traumatized with the shit I been through
Why you askin' questions bout shit that don't concern you?
I don't want you, I want her, her, and her too
Crusin' on my lonely, some nights have been rough
But when you in my shoes, you gotta learn how to be tough
On my porch with my brother, talkin' business while proceeding to puff
We gon catch one down on his luck
I'm self made, you just too late
They still know me down two states
If you ain't got enough you best believe I'm scrapin' food off my plate
The time has come, my destiny awaits
Droppin' off a pack, dozin' off, my body needs rest
But I can't get off my guard, everyday is a test
When was the last time, can you take a guess?
You was stayin' at my house as a guest
Times change I can't imagine that in the present
I'm scared to show to my friends because you reckless
This is my house, I demand to be respected
Flip it around, until you see from my perspective
Shit I gotta run I got a meeting in Texas
Feelin' sketch you said your brothers a detective
But you need to quit actin' like I'm a menace
Always trippin' over sum lil blemish
Stand tall, I'm proud who I am
We are not united talk to Uncle Sam
You used to call me your fam
Now you move away every time I grab your hand
At this point in my life, it's nothing I expected
Had to get up early to work, with no breakfast
Time to figure out whats next, I'm open to suggestions
Will you get up out my face wit them questions?
We really steppin' bitch, we ready to move
I'm real, that's the truth, I ain't got nothin' to prove
Front my dawg twenty dollars and see what he can do
What I had to do for this shit, you haven't a clue
Lookin' up to inspiration, will I be like them?
Runnin' in circles, we gotta go through this again?
We finna meet up? Okay let me know when
Break the hunnids up and slide me the tens
Runnin' out the door I got no time to waste
Movin' swift to my walk add the haste
Buildin' the structure, we gotta start at the base
Closin' the deal, I done sealed the briefcase
Walk among the shadows I saw the other creatures
I'm sayin' facts, they should make me a teacher
Quit ball in 8th grade, then I started the features
I still be in the field, I ain't sittin' on no bleachers
Long nights starin' at the wall
Will you join me if I fall?
I'm just waitin' on that one call
Bringin' real shit to the ears of them all
Pay attention to the little things they'll pass you by
Say I don't need you, it just me myself and I
Most are stubborn, but I'm a different type of guy
Keepin' truth in my heart, until the day I die
Word on the street Jersey up now
Runnin' like a bitch when they hear the gun sound
All this shit I done befo' left me dumbfound
Got my mind in the sky, I'm starbound
Throw my vans on my braids tied in a knot
You was talkin' down on me I know you started to plot
Tryna flex? Let me show you all the chains I got
And I don't give a f*ck if you think I'm strange or not
Enlightened, you can see it in my writin'
Countin' hunnids, to me, it's so excitin'
I been on this road with no one to guide me
That's why I took command, I live by me
Me, Swats, and Con in the whip just riding
Turn on the bangers now we all vibing
I don't wanna hear you fake rappers try me
Only listen to the one up above, the almighty
Puttin' in the overtime, I been workin' hard
Assistin' my team, they call me the point guard
I done seen some shit to this day that left me scarred
Yellin' free my homie he got locked behind bars
Don't approach me if you don't know me
Look at my bracelet, that shit glowing
How could you say some shit like that without me knowing?
Imma take over the game, I ain't joking
You benefit off a defecit, you a parasite
I wish him the best, told him to quit that dirty sprite
Thought I had it down pat but not quite
Open up yo mind and start to let in the light
The halo over your head is disappearin'
But I just copped you them new earrings
Can't slow me down, I hopped over the clearing
Make an impact they'll remember this perseverance
