I've been workin' like I've been I every day but I just can't let the devil in And if I knew back then I know right now I know right now I'd be than I've ever been, better than I've ever been
You ever wonder what it all means? Heart full of dreams, I I'mma do it, get it by any means Serving food for the like it's rock to the fiends I said this for years boy, this life ain't what it seems Sayin' that you can't just solidifies that you never you would, said you could, but you ain't got the skill You gotta climb the mountain to master the hill You gotta climb your ego to master your will Gave up on dreams for a suit and a pension God damn, I hope you're for the intervention You say you if you had the money, don't make me mention That cost you nothin' but time for you to pay attention Now get me wrong, I know there's people out there hatin' on ya And it feel your self-esteem is breakin' on ya All they ever to do is hate when you speak They spend seven preyin' on the weak I know the world on ya like a sedative Talk all you about me homie, I'mma let it live Hater this, hater that, say I sound Hatin' in blood, you was born to be negative
Never I every day but I just can't let the devil in And if I knew back what I know right now What I right now I'd be better than I've been, better than I've ever been
This is dedicated to everyone never made it And the people that even though they was hated They had a dream and a vision that they follow a religion But on the real the road to success is prone to And now and then something happens that's unexpected Like that in your life because you fuckin' unprotected And I swear nobody perfect, hell I I ain't Yeah I know this is heaven sent but I'm far from a saint Live a life no complaints, tryna do just what I can Learn from my father's mistakes and a better man Now plant a seed and watch 'em grow, teach 'em everything I Show him how to fight his battles and go toe to toe And this I cause I been high, low, right, wrong But I had to do it all so I could write this song I spit like the listener is my only son And grip the mic I'm at war and it's my only gun Sometimes this journey to the top can be a one Yeah, and this victory lap a run While my hometown you the chosen one Tellin' myself, don't choke, be the frozen one
