You know I have been thinking to myself
Like inspite of all the changes I′ve gone through
My intentions never changedI mean I wanted to do this and Im doing it,
And thats something I gotta learn to appreciate so shout out to myself
Thanks Tom
It all started with imaginations of me on TV or somewhere else
With flashing camera lights
And at the centre of the spotlight is just myself
But for me to do it, it required sacrifice and adjusting myself
Too young and very big dreams I was just over twelve
Tried to get some aid, noone ever helped
But I understand, it's a cold world and every mans for himself
Learned to do it the hard way had to fend for myself
Broke a few rules just to put some trophies on my shelf
And profits on my pockets I made some gains for my self
Cleared all the doubts and put some faith on myself
Coz if it′s me against the world I put the bet on myself
Super motivated always giving y'all the best of myself
Now it's me on top of the world I get the best for myself
They claim they understand
But they dont see this is a mystery science can′t even explain
Underestimated by most
But every time I make a move it feals like an overstep
Childhood dreams that came true I couldn′t ak for anything else
I got it all how I wanted it now im asking like whats next for myself
I was doing the wrong things for the right reasons
Hoping oneday I'll make a few millions
I had no choice but to go through it
It was too dirty and it did hurt me
But there was no way I could just give up
I was doing the wrong things but with pure intentions
Hoping oneday I′ll get a few rewards
Coz I didn't have shit now I let the cash speak
Safe to say that I earned it yeah
Young ambitious and broke that was me
Fighting against the odds it felt like the game was rigged
Felt like Im trynna build a mountain from pebbles
And beleiving that I can
Sometimes doubting like maybe I′m not as capable
Im not a religious man but my faith in this cause remains stable
I maybe a couragious man
Coz I've been known to take risks and turn tables
Like every other business man
I was tryna make this business sustainable
So I gave it all i got with hopes of getting rich
Only had one shot and no there was no repeat
Was out here doing the most coz I could not accept defeat
Tried to connect the dots just to avoid getting tricked
Coz all around im surrounded by frauds but still i keep it real
I got haters throwing insults, but can′t let em get under my skin
See if you are not about the paper then we not on the same team
Dropped a few hits now up on stages they pay me to make em scream
Proud of the man I become happy to say that I'm living the dream
I spend day time recording
And everymonth I'm getting cheques from royalty streams
Cash that in and thank myself for telling me to follow your dreams
I was doing the wrong things for right reasons
Hoping oneday I′ll make a few millions
I had no choice but to go through it
It was too dirty and it did hurt me
But there was no way I could just give up
I was doing the wrong things but with pure intentions
Hoping oneday I′ll get a few rewards
Coz I didn't have shit now I let the cash speak
Safe to say that I earned it yeah
Was down bad on the ground looking pitiful
Down broke and my world wasn′t beautiful
I prayed, hoped perservered and remaining true
Then changed roles and I switched up my attitude
Changed homes now I'm looking at a different view
Thank God when these blessing are added to you
Is what mom said everytime when she told me to pick a shoe
Still the star of this movie like pickachu
I know when the pain gets you down its gon feal like they shooting you
But I kept reminding myself that
It′s gonna get ugly before it gets beautifull
Tynna kill the pain it was time to get medical
Tryna win the game it was time to get physical
When the money calls I answer coz I know thats a pretty call
Niggas say they loyal but leave when it's critical
Its times like that you need them they know but nobody calls
Told myself I got you and I′ll answer whenever you call
Don't depend on noone and noone apart from God
Always look up forward but don't forget where I′m from
Niggas want what I got don′t forget the streats is cold
They don't care bout what drives me they only care about my gold
So fuck em
Coz I done broke the cycle now I′m balling my wishes came true
I let money do the talking I'm silence I know the cash rules
I done levelled up made a difference now I can′t go back to when
I was doing the wrong things for right reasons
Hoping oneday I'll make a few millions
I had no choice but to go through it
It was too dirty and it did hurt me
But there was no way I could just give up
I was doing the wrong things but with pure intentions
Hoping oneday I′ll get a few rewards
Coz I didn't have shit now I let the cash speak
Safe to say that I earned it yeah
Young and ambitious me tryna put my mark on the world
Dedicated coz the mission is king,
And after knowing what the vision is
There is no way Im going back
I signed up for this challenge
Knowing very well that there is no easy way out
I put my whole gang on the grind
But if we ain't about the same goals tell a nigga get the fuck out
I gotta contingency in place just incase things don′t work out
But why wouldn′t they work out when all my intentions are pure,
I got zero doubts
Thank God I beleive in me I know that faith is a cure
So when I pray say deliver me from being broke in this world
I hope that I will forever be getting the money back to back
At this point know I Know I'll never be going back to being broke
Coz everytime I try to take a break
I hear voices in my head saying never stop
Everytime I look in the morror and see my reflection smiling back,
I get so proud of myself
Coz I got me for life, it′s just me and myself
Trusting people only gave me a broken heart man fuck these fealings
Had to learn to believe in my self so I put all my faith in my lyrics
Was going all in gues you can't float untill you do a little sinking.
(But thats how you learn)
Haven′t done any TV interviews yet
But im guessing sooner or later they'll be asking how I did it
And I′ll be generous enough to share with them the blueprint
Coz like I said my all intentions are pure,
I want my people to grow so If they knock I will open the door
Thinking forward coz I'm at the point of no return
When I remisce the past like every choice I ever made
Lead me to this point it was all part of the plan
Now I understand the Im looking at the bigger picture
Out of the mud smiling i did it with my own formula
Now noone can tell me you owe me that
I don't owe you none, You don′t know me man
