[Chorus]
I got a dream and a plan just to make it come together
[?] if I want my life better
A hard road ahead but I gotta keep going
No matter what’s said, ain’t no weaknesses showing
I’ve seen a lot of friends where my pictures got thinner
The losses that I had taught me how to be a winner
I wakeup everyday with a newfound spirit
So every single word that I say I gotta live it
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I had a hard day yesterday
I saw the streets take another homie’s breath away
I’m on the couch letting slow sad records play
I’m blessed to say God got me so I never stray
Hey, they tryna tamper with my understanding
Frustration is my new companion
I just can’t seem to shake the way it treks through me
I go to sleep and wake up, it’s laying next to me
I’m like a hamster on a wheel ‘bout to flame out
I’m running hard, running fast in the same spot
I get dejected sometimes and go in hurt mode
‘cause my rewards ain’t equaling my workload
Your boy be strategizing all day
I get it rough, even my crumbs come the hard way
I’m self-counseling with music and some ball-play
All the time working on a mission I can parlay
[Chorus]
I got a dream and a plan just to make it come together
[?] if I want my life better
A hard road ahead but I gotta keep going
No matter what’s said, ain’t no weaknesses showing
I’ve seen a lot of friends where my pictures got thinner
The losses that I had taught me how to be a winner
I wakeup everyday with a newfound spirit
So every single word that I say I gotta live it
[Verse 2]
Self-resentment and regret, those are my opponents
Don’t ya hate when people interrupt your quiet moments
They think that something’s wrong with ya tryna go for help
No offense but you don’t know me better than I know myself
I sit stoic in my focus tryna regrow it
So if I tell you that I’m good, just take my word for it
The things I’m dealing with currently, y’all do not know it
Been in the basement too long, it’s time to top-floor it
Every now and then I question if it pays to fight
I’m starting to wonder to myself, ‘Man, are the haters right?’
‘cause I’ve been waiting in despite, working day and night
It’s seeming like the success of chasing ain’t taking flight
But it’s aight ‘cause you got power over what’s destined
You can’t control what already happened, only the present
Throughout my life one thing has become evident
If you accept the lesson then the hurt becomes medicine
[Chorus]
I got a dream and a plan just to make it come together
[?] if I want my life better
A hard road ahead but I gotta keep going
No matter what’s said, ain’t no weaknesses showing
I’ve seen a lot of friends where my pictures got thinner
The losses that I had taught me how to be a winner
I wakeup everyday with a newfound spirit
So every single word that I say I gotta live it
[Verse 3]
Nah, no matter what your disappointments be
Rejuvenate and start over the next morning free
Your dude left and you ain’t even get a letter from him
Let it go and just know that something better’s coming
Yeah, I know you goin’ through a rough season
But God takes people out your life for a reason
Realize you didn’t need him
You’re free now, get happy, take a minute and breathe in
Yo brother, you hurtin’? Feelin’ the blues strong?
You sittin’ home feelin’ crushed because she moved on
See it’s a time to begin and a time to fade
See you can’t make nobody want you once they mind is made
But tomorrow’s a brand new day nevertheless
Just remember loneliness is better than stress
Tough it out and you’ll see your life status improve
I’m thankful just to see the dates on my calendar move
[Chorus]
I got a dream and a plan just to make it come together
[?] if I want my life better
A hard road ahead but I gotta keep going
No matter what’s said, ain’t no weaknesses showing
I’ve seen a lot of friends where my pictures got thinner
The losses that I had taught me how to be a winner
I wakeup everyday with a newfound spirit
So every single word that I say I gotta live it
