[Verse 1:]
Look through the blinds
The 40 Cals and nines
He seein' them brothers dyin'
But he won't fall to demise
A thread of hope in his eyes
And that's why they call it the Silver Lining
He breakin' through the doors to see The Shining
Sun beaming, Angels beatin' the Demons
They helpin' him reach his promise
The boy no longer a Heathen
For a reason, he do this shit for a reason
The n***a straight out of -Lanta
Not rappin' bout Crips and "?"
And teachin', kids the truth
Not gun violence they feedin'
The drug fiends and lean sippers they "?"
Speak the words he believes until he not breathin'
The ones around, they never could just believe him
Sayin', shit, what you sayin' boy?
"You don't think you gonna make it,"
You just playin' boy
Things they lookin' at me, best go back to prayin' boy
You ain't really got a message you conveyin' boy

[Chorus:]
It's too soon, (It's too soon, my n***a)
All 'em let me down, for the count
Comin' back, on my "?"
It's too soon, (It's too soon, my n***a)
See it in they eyes, as they doubt
Gotta scream, gotta shout
It's too soon, (It's too soon, too soon, too soon)
I been down the picture for a minute
Dyin', nowhere near my limit
Too soon, (It's too-, it's too-)
It's too soon, (It's too-, it's too)
Yeah
[Verse 2:]
Uh, young kid outta Midtown
First time in the hood
But try to act like he been round
Confidence, I won
But front it like he a hundred
'Cuz all he wanted was someone
To say his lyrics were cunnin'
That his bars were clever, or better yet
That his beats been gettin' better, however
The folks around him ain't care about his endeavors
Fast-forward to now
They supportin' the kid with pleasure
It just goes to show
That people gon' change up like they the weather
Had to learn that as a youngin' my n***a
Always told myself, I'll make it
Got the skill and the vigor
My destiny, not gang shit
Becomin' the killer
Mama, your boy became a man
Yeah, your son gettin' bigger
And now I'm, movin' different
Future isn't lookin' as distant
Write these lines, spit these bars
Speak it to existence
Friends I have still don't believe me
Yeah, they still just missin'
I'ma tell your ass again, make sure to listen
[Chorus:]
It's too soon, (It's too soon, my n***a)
All 'em let me down, for the count
Comin' back, on my "?"
It's too soon, (It's too soon, my n***a)
See it in they eyes, as they doubt
Gotta scream, gotta shout
It's too soon, (It's too soon, too soon, too soon)
I been down the picture for a minute
Dyin', nowhere near my limit
Too soon, (It's too-, it's too-)
It's too soon, (It's too-, it's too)

[Interlude:]
As life makes you stumble
You must never lose your balance
Only the Lord knows how far we've come
And how far, we will make it
Take me home

[Bridge:]
Say you trust me, say you trust me
Uh, out the door
We ain't stoppin', we already out the door, (We are, we are,)
We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor, (Say you trust me, say you trust me,)
Uh, out the door
We ain't stoppin', we already out the door, (We are, we are,) (Say you trust me, say you trust me,)
We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor, (We are, we are,)
We already had to make it to the most, (We are, we are,)
N***as dyin', we just prying out the door
[Outro:]
We ain't stoppin', we already out the door, (We are, we are,)
We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor, (We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor,)
We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor, (We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor,)
We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor, (We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor,)
We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor, (We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor,)
We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor, (We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor,)
We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor, (We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor,)
We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor, (We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor,)
We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor, (We gon' make it to the ceilin' from the floor,)
We gon' make it to the top from the ground up, (Yeah, yeah)
