[Spoken]

Okay, you ready? You good?

[Verse 1]

Ain't nobody gonna get it how I get it, you don't get it

How I get a pen and write it

Yeah I'm writing out of my head, thinking out of my thoughts

Don't nobody talk until the snare kick stop

Bring it down

Do you really want me around?

Do you actually care forreal?

Or are you building up for a beat down

Take a breath, take a breath

I don't wanna stop until I'm chilling with the best

I don’t wanna be the one to stop a take a rest

But you know I've never really been the one to flex, so

Southern Cali glory shots

Tryna learn from what I'm not

Make the most of what I got

Think it's dope, it's prolly not

That's just how it is

Especially when you get up in the biz

No it's not for everyone, like pop for me:

I don't really like the fizz

Whip it up, whip it up, cook it all day

Gotta be sure I got something to say

Look at the clock, am I doing okay?

Look at the sky, "Do you hear when I pray?"

Devil scared of my future, so I gotta stay strong

Every day every song, no I can't go along

Gotta pave my own road, own life

Can't give up cause I wanna have a wife

"Oh good God, let's flock him then"

Try the ats, and I'll block you then

And I'm sure I would say real life

But I know that they'd stalk me then

I don't know, I don't know, what I been thinking

Play it back, play it back, I keep repeating

I keep repeating my looking and scheming

People be watching but they are not seeing

Lot of pressure on my shoulders now

Gotta get it right to get out of town

Cause I'm heading out west

Gotta give it my best

Know that wasn't it, but at least I tried

Setting down the nets, kill the fear inside

Always on the path, even if I die

If you wanna flex, go and step outside

We don't got room for you here, we don't got room for you here

I do not care if you think that I will not make it

Cause I know I'll persevere


[Chorus]

I know I'll persevere

No, I know I'll persevere

No the future is nearly here, so I'm gonna persevere (yeah)

I know I'll persevere

No, I know I'll persevere

Even if you don't believe in my dreams

I'm gonna persevere (yeah)


[Verse 2]

Back at like a bad habit, not bad at rapping, just back in action

Took me a minute, but I'm back to spitting

So I guess you could say I'm back to living

This Is Living now got me started

MyShot has now departed

PartDeux is what we called it

But it sometimes feels like we stalled it

Ohbeluga now it’s TBT

You don’t know what it meant to get POTD

Or the Hannah follow, or the magazine

But LOL, they weren’t having me

But anyway I’m here now

And the main thing I fear now

Is that I won’t fight what’s here and now

To win what’s coming many years down

The road is long the drive is tough I’m hearing voices: “Give it up”

"You can’t do it, you can’t make it, death’s your fate you can’t escape it"

But I know I’m made for greatness, I’ve been gifted; cannot fake this

But remember what His name is, and the reason why you’re famous

Oh! You think so? Is that why you don’t speak slow?

Tryna get ahead in life? Be careful of the evil

I know, I know; I’m a role model, model

But if you wanna leave the light on

Just pray He’ll help me fight on


[Chorus]

I know I'll persevere

No, I know I'll persevere

No the future is nearly here, so I'm gonna persevere (yeah)

I know I'll persevere

No, I know I'll persevere

Even if you don't believe in my dreams

I'm gonna persevere (yeah)
