Anything worth having doesn't happen over night
It's not the size of the dog, it's the size of his fight
When pure hearts collide with egos
Situations go left when a conversation could have made it right
I gain ears of the masses as i confide
Every day it gets harder just to stay alive
Death around the corner the rate as amplified
Will I make it home that lingers in my mind
Im from Carolina, where they re rock the pack
They sell to junkies, beat they ass, rob em then sell it back
That's a known fact this is far from rap
Crabs in barrel when you moving up they goin pull you back
We all got dreams & mines was to make it out
Show them something different like we have another route
The way I was moving I couldn't avoid the turbulence
I didn't see me reaching 30 back then it was nonsense
Looking back on my life I would have did things different
Spend more time with father before that cancer hit em
Got his advice so I wouldn't have to do things twice
Implement everything, try to live right
God has the last say so, no matter the grasp I think I have on life it spirals out of control
Desensitize to murder explains why my heart froze
Our virgin eyes see all, too much expose
Im too aware of those I love yous coming from strangers
Watching every direction knowing they have some kind of angle
When conversing im clear somehow my words get tangled
Like I didn't promise that but they smile & say thank you
An they still question me why I moved away
It's only temporary really didn't know what else to say
But the Carolina kid getting dumb buck
I yelled last year & I'ma do it again im on the come up
