This is an opportunity I've gotta take
I turned 25 in July, got no time to waste
I gravitate to my passion of being a rapper
You think this shit's a joke but I block out the laughter
My faith cannot be broken man you'd think I'm pastor
As a token of his love God gave me a gift
He was looking from above wondering why I was wasting it
I just couldn't risk it all with no guarantee of making it
Didn't wanna fall cause my pride couldn't take it
But I realised that I couldn't win the prize without running the race
Didn't wanna hop on the track and then trip on my lace
But I said fuck that pussy shit and looked my fears in the face
So I quit my job 'cause I've gotta dedicate
My life to this rap shit
I'll fight all my matches
The mic is my torch that I light with my passion
There's heat when I talk
I got fire in my chest
That drive that's inside that will never let me rest
I'm pressing on the gas 'cause I'm tryna be the best
I'm moving really fast but I want this trip to last forever
Leave my mark every day do it letter by letter
Always working on my craft cause I'm tryna be better
I don't do this to get paid you can keep your Mandelas
I love the game but its known to be a tricky endeavour
Its like a drug, once you shoot up to the top that shit goes straight to your brain
Your eyes dilate then you get blinded by the fame
I pray to the lord that I won't change too much
I hope I stay humble when my name blows up
I can't become that nigga that's completely out of touch
I need to feed my people that have never had enough
I need to bless my brothers that have given me so much
I stand on my 2 feet but I could always use a crutch
Cause anytime I stumble I want that support to catch on my way down
Can't be too proud to think I can do this on my own now
Like a broken lock I've got insecurities
So the key to my success is to have people believe in me
You may see it as a weakness to depend on others
But that's just who I am
I love my fans 'cause I know their part of my building plans
I'm moving like a leading man taking over the scene
My life is like a movie and the script is a part of me
I am my own director so I choose who I wanna be
But things don't always go in the direction I wan' 'em to
Its like I'm on a saddle and the horse doesn't wanna move
I take that as a sign that I'm on the wrong avenue
I try a different course of action
Which is why I'm out here rapping
Tryna make shit happen
Grinding every day
Til they put me in a casket my nigga
