I remember eating Silver Lake pizza for dinner
All Winter
Didn't have it all in my eyes I was a winner
Emotion pouring out of my mind made me a spitter
I didn't know what I would be I just knew it wasn't a quitter
Never thought the journey would be this long
You don't know till you don't really have a choice to be strong
I ain't even have a plan
I just knew I wanted fans in the stands singing every single word of my songs
I'm getting close..

Here's a toast to all the pain and the tears over the years
The fact I'm trying to get to the top taking the stairs
The fact I worked as hard as I did when nobody cared
Now they gotta speak the best if they ever try to compare
Oh it's time now
I'm bout to wild out
Oh you the one? I don't know we bout to find out
They just wanna take me and start squeezing every dime out
That's why I keep the fruits of my labor over at my house

Don't let em fix their mouth and try to tell you that you're worthless
Mistakes are only made when you're attempting to be perfect
And when something doesn't work it ain't aligning with your purpose
If pressure makes a diamond I could make a jeweler nervous
See I overcame all of the odds
Think it's time to get even
Really made this my job
This how my family eating
Give the credit to God
He helped me battle my demons
On every single weekday (weak day)
I had the strength to defeat em
It's real..

And I prayer that you protect your dreams
When you visit them at night you have the best front seat
Vivid
Just a matter of time till you live it
Close your eyes I'm helping to remind you why you living
Gotta make the best of the life and mind you were given
Uh.. yea right, who am I kidding
The world'll take a sit-in if I ain't one of the greats
And between that and death I ainno who's winning the race
It's real..
