[Intro]

Uh

[Verse 1]

I battled porn since I was fifteen

I battled pot since I was fifteen

Use to feel less than regularly

It was all insecurity

Now I'm writing this here crying

Cause I know deep down inside

That was the test in my testimony

Old friends around me, no, they don't compete

Wondering why I did not feel complete

I found I had two generations of family members who had started but did not complete

I had a wake up call at eighteen that gave perspective to me

Now the circle is full like a loading bar, I'm charged up ready to eat

[Pre-Chorus]

I needed to go through those things

I needed to improve those things

To myself, to my family, to my god

I needed to remove those things

What's a forward without a backward?

What's independent without dependent?

See the meaning of things we give it

Is what determines if we gon' get it

[Chorus]

I'm tryna go out like TB12

World Record, yeah, give me a Guinness

But in order to do that now

I gotta honor the past I've been given

Gotta open the present I'm living

Gotta tap into passion and vision

Gotta calm myself down, I ain't quitting

Gotta fight for a future to live in

[Verse 2]

I've been in my bag, let's go

Old habits, I am not those

When I look myself in the mirror

I'm looking at years of growth

Tryna impact, not tryna boast

So I really stopped doing the most

Now I float, Rolls Royce ghost

Had I known back before that

[Pre-Chorus]

I needed to go through those things

I needed to improve those things

To myself, to my family, to my god

I needed to remove those things

What's a forward without a backward?

What's independent without dependent?

See the meaning of things we give it

Is what determines if we gon' get it

[Chorus]

I'm tryna go out like TB12

World Record, yeah, give me a Guinness

But in order to do that now

I gotta honor the past I've been given

Gotta open the present I'm living

Gotta tap into passion and vision

Gotta calm myself down, I ain't quitting

Gotta fight for a future to live in

[Verse 3]

If I put my mind to it, woah

Anything they have done before, I can do it too lil bro

I used to be afraid of this, not what's I see around the kid

But what I know my potential is

How can I get a head start?

Change like a reverse Uno card

Become the person I am meant for

Gotta challenge myself, gotta set a big dream

Gotta execute daily, gotta get a routine

Gotta build self esteem

[Chorus]

I'm tryna go out like TB12

World Record, yeah, give me a Guinness

But in order to do that now

I gotta honor the past I've been given

Gotta open the present I'm living

Gotta tap into passion and vision

Gotta calm myself down, I ain't quitting

Gotta fight for a future to live in

I'm tryna go out like TB12

World Record, yeah, give me a Guinness

But in order to do that now

I gotta honor the past I've been given

Gotta open the present I'm living

Gotta tap into passion and vision

Gotta calm myself down, I ain't quitting

Gotta fight for a future to live in
