[Verse 1:]

Right off the bat, let's get into the scene

A young Spanish kid just running after the dream

Didn't have much but the things we ate

But as the years go by you appreciate

Given these gifts by mother nature

Mismatched when you put the fight on paper

But, I learned to consider

The thoughts that don't show in the picture

See, I had all this determination

A fiend for the lights and the adulation

Smile in me that could light up a room

But too sad to ever notice it's true

You, can take the time just moping

Or, you could pry all these closed doors open

So I picked up a lock pick and went

Said I'd make Mom proud now with the set

Of rhymes, that I put over instrumentals

Experience to thoughts, rap is existential

Mental, it's a simple game that we play

Learn to see the sunshine in a hurricane

And, I'll do more on the moon than just landing

I'll go as far as I can to show I'm outstanding

[Verse 2:]

Yeah it's true we'll experience set backs

Never flew jet blue but my soul ain't jet black

It's the ideal that we'd all expect

But it's not the ideal that we all get

So, we have to work with what we got

Karma revolves, so do good with your shot

Avoid being part of the melting pot

Let them all see fire when you make the beats hot

Don't have the rings and things that make the girlies shout

But I went in with my soul and that's how I came out

Studying the game, you can't lose knowledge

Paying for growth when we're in college

I just wanna be an idol to the kids

Show them what their destiny is

If they strive to arrive, then they will succeed

Put family first cause love is the cleanest greed

Hard work pays off do what you can

Need help? Here's a basic plan

Don't worry about name brands and such

It's real simple, don't make it so tough

All you need is a little strength and love

Whatever you have is more than enough

Remember to just be happy with your landing

And show the whole world, you're outstanding

[Verse 3:]

Lift the clouds from where you chose your seat

Imagine my soul is bigger than six feet

It can do wonders, it's simply elite

Try to show that to every person you meet

Don't mock people like a parakeet

Be yourself, you're such a treat

A knockdown doesn't mean that you've been beat

So stand up and show them you're an athlete

Be ready to go rain snow and sleet

Shake hands with everyone that you greet

Civilize the jungle in the concrete

Cause being outstanding is just so sweet
