Never had it easy did you?
Praying for the strength to break through
Try a little harder
Get a little stronger
You wanna go the distance
But never see the finish
I can confidently say that I have been there
Yes I remember
And now the hateful thoughts of who you are is you've got
You’ve been hearing the lies
That you could never make it through
Been fighting for life
'Cause you never wanna lose
But open your eyеs
I've got better nеws for you
You’re gonna be great
You’re gonna be great
Looking for a love to cling to
Cause everything you loved has hurt you
(Hurt you)
Always on your own now, never got slow down
Your voice is getting bigger
But they never wanna listen
I can confidently say that I have lived this
And now you hate the thought of moving on it never stops
You’ve been hearing the lies
That you could never make it through
Been fighting for life
'Cause you never wanna lose
But open your eyes
I've got better news for you
You’re gonna be great
You’re gonna be great
Dreams dwindle as
Time passes and life fastens
It’s fear ridden shackles
Latch on to minds tragic
Illuminated is what I’m lacking
My gifts bask in
Darkness forged by the doubts crafted
By minds cracking
I’m head strong I face the lies, they contaminating
I sanitize
My aspirations on cloud 9
Beat the allegations that I waste time
My harvest plenty for my seeds sewn
I’m Books 3 put the team on
They doubt was fuel in a time that all
They thought of me was Shaq's free throw
Laced up in my Nikes
Spent too many long nights
Pen gliding when by day
It was textbooks and long drives
I prayed to God “show me the path”
Then down that road I’ll drive
He cautioned me of the words they’d speak lies
You’ve been hearing the lies
That you could never make it through
Been fighting for life
'Cause you never wanna lose
But open your eyes
I've got better news for you
You’re gonna be great
You’re gonna be great
You’re gonna be great
You’re gonna be great
