[Chorus]
Gonna be what I'm destined to be
So I’ll never let a hater get to me
I peeped the game, what the eye don't see
So I'll never let a hater get to me
I break the chains so I can be free
So I never let a hater get to me
I’m gonna be what I'm destined to be
So I never let a hater get to me

[Verse 1]
(Correct)
A product of the struggle, single mother family
The way Ilve my life's enough to win a Grammy
Good dude from a bad block full of half-nots
Where reachin' success was like seeing Sasquatch
Bad cops patrol the area, crack rock caused hysteria
Best friends a bury ya, crabs in a bucket tearin' you down
Where wearin' cuffs is more normal than wearin' a smile
Hard times hit like Pacquiao so n***as hit the pack and wild
Tryna cope with frustration, jealous like the vacations
Opportunity slim and n***as ain't gon’ stay waitin’
No patience, need a bundle of big faces
Three kids, gotta feed they beautiful faces
Time can't be wasted
So all the odds, I defeat ’em
All my people I'm gon' lead 'em
Set my family up for freedom
Deeply rooted to my loved ones
No way that I could leave ’em
Got a lot of people countin' on me
So the haters I won't plead with
[Chorus]
Gonna be what I'm destined to be
So I'll never let a hater get to me
I peeped the game, what the eye don't see
So I'll never let a hater get to me
I break the chains so I can be free
So I never let a hater get to me
I'm gonna be what I'm destined to be
So I never let a hater get to me

[Verse 2]
Live in the present, don't dwell on past aggression
If you live out ya testimony, share the message
True blessings is passed on, uplift the next man
No man should be stepped on, no child should be steered wrong
A few words that was passed on that I vow to live by
Women cry, men cry, that's how some get by
Some choose to get high, it's different ways to shed stress
Hard pressed to iron out our problems, that's far fetched
Specially when doing right thing seems so far left
The ghetto's deemed lawless, we lost breath in the rat race and equal protest
Exhausted from the screams of hate we become voiceless
Black lives become all lives trying to make us choiceless
Like we all equal now tryna front for the cause like we all people now
Until shots fly and a cop dies you don't hear a sound
It's just finger pointin' like we problem for bringin' this country down
[Chorus]
Gonna be what I'm destined to be
So I'll never let a hater get to me
I peeped the game, what the eye don't see
So I'll never let a hater get to me
I break the chains so I can be free
So I never let a hater get to me
I'm gonna be what I'm destined to be
So I never let a hater get to me
Gonna be what I'm destined to be
So I'll never let a hater get to me
I peeped the game, what the eye don't see
So I'll never let a hater get to me
I break the chains so I can be free
So I never let a hater get to me
I'm gonna be what I'm destined to be
So I never let a hater get to me
