Ever driven since 97', that been a fact
Pen and pad gripped in my hand since I was a little man
This the plan, put in the work while everyone's sitting back
Never lack on giving it everything that you think you can
This whole place is dangerous, you get phased and really mad
They gon' pray you breaking, the closest people gon' hit you bad
Everybody test you on any level you bring it at
Always be yourself, you're the only one that can win at that
Don't back down, always stay on course, and be adamant
Keep on moving forward, it doesn't matter how bad it gets
When it rains, it pours, the winter storm you stand against
Can't let nothin' break you, your day will come if you manifest
This battle don't have no rest, all that passion you can't suppress
Open your eyes up, cuz life is more than just cashing cheques
People who rather flex, lose themselves in a massive mess
Don't get caught in your past, and just stay fixed on what happens next
You wanting change? And yet you stay inside and you pout
You chasing the wrong things, instead go find a new route
Worried about what they say, and the one's who wanna doubt
Focus on what you been doing, not what they been talking about
And with each shed tear, you keep wasting your years
Why don't you get a grip and steer, instead of living in fear
All these flaws are so clear, you're letting things interfere
You want to see something that's great? Then take a look in the mirror
You ain't know nobody with passion out there that's half this
You ain't with the movement it's pretty clear that you lack sense
Must be out your mind or something up there is absent
Only get one shot in this moment to blow, you can't miss
It's madness, so many people caught in the past tense
Wrecking their potential, and losing track where their path is
Won't settle down, I know they wait on the day I'm checking out
Only time will tell, we'll see who laughs in a decade now
Yeah, then it all fades to black
Everything's changed, and now you can't head on back
All of the years that you'd trade just to make it in rap
Who's gonna recognize your face when your days at the last
You gave your life for this game, was it worth it for that
What's gotten into me? Gave up on everything for a legacy
When it's all over you're nothing more than a memory
Will they all applaud me, or will they forget my energy
Welcome to my Symphony, take a glimpse at the inner me
