[Hook]
Success is destiny
Choose your own path
Put in work, and do it fast
Use your heart and it will last
Success is destiny
Choose your own path
Put in work, and do it fast
Use your heart

[Verse 1]
One for five, that's like two for fifteen
I mix dreams with reality, for the love not the salary
My mentality in a nut shell, wasn't always cut well
And so dry, I remember when I
Didn't have the means of making songs
Those who did where taking long
And treating me like I was faking
Awakening every morning to the urge, yet
No money to splurge with
And to this day I don't know how I ever got over the first ridge
Amidst thirsty kids ready to drain my hopes away
I scope the days within and beginnin' fools with role play
Nothing really changed except attitudes
To those who have I'ma show my gratitude
Ay, help me I'm not mad at you
Scattered crews in the wind led me to the point which I'm at now
When I rip, give me dap now, I don't accept the scraps

[Hook]
Success is destiny
Choose your own path
Put in work and do it fast
Use your heart and it will last
Success is destiny
Choose your own path
Put in work and do it fast
Use your heart

[Verse 2]
I can't pretend that my debts are greater then my yearly income
But then in some ways it pays to be broke
I stay with these folks called friends, constantly building an empire
So when in dire straits, we aspire and elevate higher
Than expectations, refreshed and awake
And exerting what it takes to keep from hurting
Proper wording, at the right time
No blurting out, I stay composed
To keep from burning out, I stray from those only sayin' flows
The girls betraying hoes
I'm not into that
Got into rap as a child when commended acts
Had style when the television dial wasn't needed
I wasn't feelin' cheated when I bought an album
But now the uncompleted child conductor cover of the odor
They be on some high performance shit without a motor
I'm a voter for the work, real to mean that
But that wish is but a dream that never seems to comes true
That never seems to come true...
In the immortal words of Johnson, "I will survive"
You be on that bitch shit, but me I keep it alive
So why are you still talking to me, fool, shut the fuck up
Go speak with Mr. Charley, and please don't try to suck up
He doesn't like a kiss-ass, get out and do that shit fast
Get a grasp on life, don't be lazy and try to slip past
Twice or three times I almost quit
But now I see I'm fit for the script
Un-flipped, of course
I'm the source of my product, not a product piece
At least 95 percent, I put the crease in my jay cards
And in my revenue too
I stay hard-headed and never too true, so should you
So should you, and you...
So should you
[Hook]
Success is Destiny
Choose your own path
Put in work and do it fast
Use your heart and it will last
Success is Destiny
Choose your own path
Put in work and do it fast
Use your heart

[Outro]
Use your heart
Use your heart...
