Ambition

[Verse 1]

Uh, my time is flying fast

I should’ve known it wouldn’t last

Wasting every minute with nothing to do

Spending like I got nothing to lose

Hearing so many arguments, so much hate

While I sit here bored doing nothing but pace

Purpose lost, I’m lost, but I’m the boss

Planned out my whole life, still not satisfied

If only there was some time I could buy

But buying more time would just waste more time

Yeah, and all this work I still have to do

On top of that still more work to do

My mind is the wicked mastermind and I’m his puppet

I’ve got no life in me except when someone moves me

I might as well die young

Cause living this life till I’m old wouldn’t be any fun


[Hook]

For my ambition

Easy to dream a dream, though it's harder to live it

They gon' love me for my ambition

Easy to dream a dream, though it's harder to live it

They gon' love me for my ambition

Easy to dream a dream, though it's harder to live it

Look, they gon' love me for my ambition

Beautiful music, painting pictures that be my vision


[Verse 2]

Said I give out my power of encouragement

But the lyrics that I write are for me, I’m so selfish

The fear of failing school and not going to college

Getting older by the minute but not gaining knowledge

I hope I can feel the passion of music again

Cause I’m starting to feel weak daily, growing insane

This music grind is stressful but I better get used to it

I gotta work hard, play hard, yeah no stopping

Cause my time is either coming or either ending

But I gotta remember that it’s not just me I’m repping

My dreams of working and meeting all these people

Might not come true and it’s so hard to take in

I have so much respect for them and I wanna meet em

But being a Christian rapper you might not meet em

Uh, I know God has better plans

But I hope at least they can see me and I can see them


[Hook]


[Verse 3]

Looking beyond through my telescope

Just a stargazer searching for any signs of hope

I got enough of this doubt, plenty full of hate

Now all I need is faith a tiny sprinkle would be great

You can see it in my soul I ain’t giving up the fight

You can see it in my heart I really want this life

Skeptics spit fire, but I survived through the fever

Bring the heat, I’m immune to all of you unbelievers

Feel the zeal within my veins, sense the verve within my spirit

I don’t just write and rap words hear the passion within my lyrics

In it only for glory and materialism, your dream is worthless

But repping for something greater and that’s what I call purpose

Try and blow me off, I stand strong with my dreams embraced

Get that dirt off my shoulder all your taunts are going into waste

Here I am a blooming mountain laurel rising to the challenge

I ain’t a young blood for nothing my time about to commence

Uh


[Outro]

Beautiful music, painting pictures that be my vision

They gon’ love me for my ambition

Easy to dream a dream, though it’s harder to live it

Look, they gon’ love me for my ambition

Beautiful music, painting pictures that be my vision

They gon’ love me for my ambition
