[Hook]

No matter where u come from or where u tryna go

Theres never one path, theres more than one road

Keep ya eyes on the prize and ya feet on the floor

Keep shinin that light, til they see you glow

[Verse 1]

Mama told me never back to a challenge

Steady tryna walk a tightrope wit no balance

Despite everybody thats tellin me to stop

Ima keep marchin till ma feet get caloused

Me im from a city that ain't never been to church

Girls stuck to the script end up lookin like cursive

Curvy as a model all the brothers wanna flirt wit

Hittin up the club wit a bottle in they purses

Brothers growin up not knowing where theyre headed

Stuck on gettin money doin anything to get it

Gettin high rollin up a blunt sumthin proper

I wish he knew he coulda been a lawyer or a doctor

Cops steady lookin for another one to lock up

And if he had the chance, he would lock the whole block up

Work for what u want, n dont stop till they pay you

N always stay grounded so nobody can sway you

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

My father told me never back down to a coward

Do whatever you want, your the one with the power

Many people fold when there faced with the pressure

N despite all my doubts and fears i'll never cower

Always show pride in anything that you accomplish

Life is a journey, dont forget to bring your compass

Never conform, ill live life like a rebel

Sick of playin deal or no deal wit the devil

Gettin your profession to perfect takes practice

N dont stop pushin yourself till its mastered

Workin wit a machine, just bangin out classics

Look at tracklist, n dare anyone to match it

Life is full of messups outtakes and bloopers

Your the only one that can shape your own future

Never try to fit in, or people will abuse ya

And if they dont accept you, you gotta make em used to ya

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Nana told me keep going to church, stay faithful

God is the only superhero that can save you

Keep ya head up, stay focused on your goals

N dont walk along the path anybodys tryna pave you

Never wanna help wit a problem till its ours

What started being sweet end up turnin out sour?

I find it funny we could party all week

But we can't wake up to go to church for one hour

See now i got you thinking

Change, you ain't got much time, watchin ya life fly by without blinking

Me im just statin the facts, reinforcing the obvious

Making a track, a few thoughts for you to poly wit

Try hard not to fall, and dont slip

Live ya life like a movie, create your own script

So dont forget your exactly who to choose to be

N take advantage of every opportunity
