[Verse:]

Ever since I started, I've done it on my own

First time I started no one gave me the time of day

Now I got some high praise, I remember all the times I prayed

I prayed for answers, and now I see hard work really does pays

The result may not always be in my favor, but I know I'll make it out the maze

Now I'm standin' in the light, but the dark still holds my point of view

Its still a struggle to find the balance between the two

I slowly start losin' myself, cause my efforts don't always fall through

I get my hopes up, and yet I still believe I will breakthrough

Underestimate me if you want, niggas you'll soon see

I'm gonna do big shit, that's what I truly foresee

I see myself makin' a difference, don't walk away from me

My rise only has begun, still got major heat

I refuse to call defeat, my passion is like the rhythm of my heartbeat

Pumpin' the blood of my determination, on a blank charted sheet

Fuck the billboard charts, that shit ain't for me

I have two sides of myself, not mixed personalities

I'm still myself, I'm always gonna be me

Still not givin' a fuck, that's all ya gonna see

Respect to 2pac, I want all eyes on me

I'm not better than anyone, I don't care bout that shit

I'm not a king, not a goat, I'm not a weak bitch

Comin' off as a coward, is better than bein' a snitch

I'm gonna keep movin' forward, in hopes of becomin' rich

Lookin' way back, I promised I would never stop

Cause like Eminem said, you only get one shot

One shot to prove your worth, they say I'm insane

Insane I stand a chance, in this rough fucked up game

I just stay back, and enjoy my lane

I just focus on the shit, in hopes of them rememberin' my name

Niggas goin' hard, well I'm goin' harder and they can't complain

I don't use autotune, but I got respect for T-Pain

I'm not signin' with labels, I'm gonna ride my wave

There's so much shit, I feel shit in different ways

I'm better at times, cause its a different day

That shit was ruthless, it nearly changed my personality

Niggas goin' for that, but its the complete opposite for me

I play it cool, even when niggas keep on botherin' me

Got somethin' special inside me, I'm gonna unlock it all

Its my shit to harness, Its no one else's call

Vibin' with Drake, I'm too far gone

I don't make conscious albums, but I make conscious tracks

Can't tell me nothing, I feel like Kanye West

Got many setbacks, Can't afford to rest

I want more out of life, thank you, next
