[Interlude: Kanye West]
I always felt like I could do anything. That's the main people are controlled by, there perception of themselves. They're slowed down by their perception of themselves. If you're taught you can't do anything then you won't do anything. I was taught I could do everything.
[Interlude 2]
I want to represent an idea. I wan't to represent possibilities. I want to represent the idea that you really can make what you want. The first step before anybody in the world believes in is what you have to believe in. There's no reason to have a plan B because it distracts you from plan A. I believed that I could create whatever I wanted to create.

Since the day of my birth I ain't never been like none of them
I was left out by the in crowd except again I'm not trying to be like none of them
Young man standing on his own two now
Homie I got all these dreams up inside of me
Yeah, and I done hopped out the sheets
Now it's time to turn these dreams into reality
I'm trying to turn them to reality
Since the day of my birth I ain't never been like none of them
I was left out by the in crowd except again I'm not trying to be like none of them
Young man standing on his own two now
Homie I got all these dreams up inside of me
Yeah, and I done hopped out the sheets
Now it's time to turn these dreams into reality
I'm trying to turn them to reality
[Verse 1]
I used to wonder what my purpose was
Like yo why am I here?
Dying before making a difference in this life was my fear
Man I had to wrestle with it
I had a talk with the Lord
He said "I made you to be different even if they don't applaud"
One day it really hit me, speak for those without a voice
You was in they position, you ain't really got a choice
Give hope to the hopeless, inspire with every line
At the end of the day this is far deeper than rhymes
Cause you was in a dark place, you know how it feels
Don't just give the people what they want
Give 'em something real
It's a lot of fabrications that ain't helping us much
They want to make you nod your head, but they ain't building us up
[Pre-Hook]
Like yo, I know the road to your dreams is never the safest
Just understand there's a chance that you got to be taken
Really nothing is impossible for those who believe
Just get on your grind, roll up your sleeves and keep working

[Verse 2]
It's one thing to have a dream, it's another to chase
It's easy to run from a challenge, it's harder to face it
A lot people get a shot, at least some of 'em take it
It's too many people comfortable with being complacent
I'd rather knowing I gave it all with no regrets
Than leave this lifetime with a whole bunch of what-ifs
Down for too long, I'm trying to see my people win
He done put us in these waters now it's time to sink or swim
This for the single mother that's providing for her family
This for the kid that believes he can be all he can be
Set goals, follow them dreams, make 'em reality
You was made for more than a minimum wage salary
[Pre-Hook]
Like yo, I know the road to your dreams is never the safest
Just understand there's a chance that you got to be taken
Really nothing is impossible for those who believe
Just get on your grind, roll up your sleeves and keep working
[Outro]
