Still Goin’ Strong
[Verse:]
Ever since I started, I've done it on my own
First time I started no one gave me the time of day
Now I got some high praise, I remember all the times I prayed
I prayed for answers, and now I see hard work really does pays
The result may not always be in my favor, but I know I'll make it out the maze
Now I'm standin' in the light, but the dark still holds my point of view
Its still a struggle to find the balance between the two
I slowly start losin' myself, cause my efforts don't always fall through
I get my hopes up, and yet I still believe I will breakthrough
Underestimate me if you want, niggas you'll soon see
I'm gonna do big shit, that's what I truly foresee
I see myself makin' a difference, don't walk away from me
My rise only has begun, still got major heat
I refuse to call defeat, my passion is like the rhythm of my heartbeat
Pumpin' the blood of my determination, on a blank charted sheet
Fuck the billboard charts, that shit ain't for me
I have two sides of myself, not mixed personalities
I'm still myself, I'm always gonna be me
Still not givin' a fuck, that's all ya gonna see
Respect to 2pac, I want all eyes on me
I'm not better than anyone, I don't care bout that shit
I'm not a king, not a goat, I'm not a weak bitch
Comin' off as a coward, is better than bein' a snitch
I'm gonna keep movin' forward, in hopes of becomin' rich
Lookin' way back, I promised I would never stop
Cause like Eminem said, you only get one shot
One shot to prove your worth, they say I'm insane
Insane I stand a chance, in this rough fucked up game
I just stay back, and enjoy my lane
I just focus on the shit, in hopes of them rememberin' my name
Niggas goin' hard, well I'm goin' harder and they can't complain
I don't use autotune, but I got respect for T-Pain
I'm not signin' with labels, I'm gonna ride my wave
There's so much shit, I feel shit in different ways
I'm better at times, cause its a different day
That shit was ruthless, it nearly changed my personality
Niggas goin' for that, but its the complete opposite for me
I play it cool, even when niggas keep on botherin' me
Got somethin' special inside me, I'm gonna unlock it all
Its my shit to harness, Its no one else's call
Vibin' with Drake, I'm too far gone
I don't make conscious albums, but I make conscious tracks
Can't tell me nothing, I feel like Kanye West
Got many setbacks, Can't afford to rest
I want more out of life, thank you, next
