(Verse 1)

Look, passion and talent

23 and still at it

Scratchin' rent

Been broke so long, you would've thought I called it quits

At times I sit and think what if Jordan didn't get drafted

If Ali threw in the towel or Serena hung up her racket

Just thoughts that run through my mind as I stare out through these blinds

Scared, just hopin' that I don't get tired of tryin'

Don't tell me grind nigga, like it's that simple and shit

I wasn't born into no money, man my mama ain't rich

Ain't got no wealthy benefactors, my dad ain't a fuckin' actor

No diss to the nigga Jaden, but I can't help but imagine

What it's like to have a plug to all the shit that you want

To have it all

I read this blog that said a nigga dropped a mill on a necklace

Turned on the news, saw niggas losin' they jobs

But still I'm writin' like I'm stressin'

With a bed to rest my head in

Lord forgive me, sometime's I want more than I got

Though I'm grateful for what I have, I want better

It's now or never, hold up...

(Verse 2)

Sometime's I rather die tryin' than live knowin' I quit

Rather try and fail than have to live wonderin' what if

I could list my biggest fears

Could sit, soak in my tears

And vent, but life is short, so I'ma live while I'm here

Cus what's a life without risk

Wrong or right don't exist

Walk your path and wake up knowin' every breath is a gift

Life is timeless, you see the prizes

All the benefits of grindin'

Yea, you know the spoils but not the work that comes behind it

Windin', like you deserve something we don't

You ain't special, unique or different

Boy you want what I want

Fuck excuses, you want it, prove it

A loss ain't the same as losin'

You hate, out of shame someone wanted it more than you did

We fall, but sometimes the best songs are not the singles

Some deeds don't bare rewards but know God can always see you

One thought can change the world, success will come with timin'

You want it, reach for the sky and put the stars into alignment
