[Intro]
Don't let a hater shoot your dreams in the head
Uh

[Chorus]
Don't let a hater shoot your dreams in the head
You gotta try to succeed, gotta make your own bed
You got twenty-four hours, it's best to spend it wisely
Don't waste your whole life away seein' things blindly
Capitalize on opportunity, best to be wise
Every day that go, opportunity pass you by
Wake up with a chance and a choice, give it a try
Don't let 'em tell you what you can't do, 'cause that's a lie

[Verse]
Since my younger days, I grew a lot
Get the ball and take a shot; hustle and I make the drop
To hit thе top, it takes a lot
And once you get thеre, you can't settle down
'Cause so many want your spot
You out the ghetto now, remember
Hearin' gunshots, won't stop, never
To tuck the gat, we wear leathers in hot weathers
Playin' the strip, when it rains, no umbrella
In any climate, just wanna see better
Do better; when will the pressure let up?
You can't escape it
Life's so hard for minorities to make it
Ain't nothin' given, you gotta take it
Shades in the dark past, I'm movin' towards the future
Pray; will I outlast? My garments are Medusa
They say I'm a outcast, the consequences crucial
Damn, guess it's war now, the feelings all mutual
They say blue and black ink is the way, but I'm usin' red
This [?] not fair, can't expect to be spoon fed
I stay well-aware, 'cause I seen a lot of doom spread
Most of my people either locked up in a room or dead
That's true; lot of dudes losin' cred
Now what's new? I hit 'em with that mic check
A one-two; my words is like The Art of War
Sun Tzu
[Chorus]
Uh
Don't let a hater shoot your dreams in the head
You gotta try to succeed, gotta make your own bed
You got twenty-four hours, it's best to spend wisely
Don't waste your whole life away seein' things blindly
Capitalize on opportunity, best to be wise
Every day that go, opportunity pass you by
Wake up with a chance and a choice, give it a try
Don't let 'em tell you what you can't do, 'cause that's a lie
Don't let a hater shoot your dreams in the head
You gotta try to succeed, gotta make your own bed
You got twenty-four hours, it's best to spend wisely
Don't waste your whole life away seein' things blindly
Capitalize on opportunity, best to be wise
Every day that go, opportunity pass you by
Wake up with a chance and a choice, give it a try
Don't let 'em tell you what you can't do, 'cause that's a lie

[Outro]
Don't let a hater shoot your dreams in the head
