Destined

Yeye
Yeah
Look

This why I had to quit my day job
Ill-advised, but knowing that I could rise to the occasion
Had me feelin' audacious
Stuck inside a box I was never s'posed to be placed in
A wild animal ain't supposed to be caged in
Let me out
I ain't letting no one forget me now
Too many eyes on a youngin' and I can't let 'em down
I came to start a revolution for my people
Who ain't never seen a life in which we all get treated equal
No evil
No stereotypical reinforcement
Forget the alcohol and the violence they been endorsin'
That's just a portion
And so I'm peelin' back the curtain
So you can see the truth about the demons that be lurkin'
All our lives we been a burden
A product of the hurting
Victims to a system that was never really working
Symptoms of a twisted type of vision from a world when
Being different, was a sickness, and I really wanna see that world end
And now this world is a whirlwind
Keep getting tossed out
But I keep on getting back up so that I can get my point across now
Never saw doubt
Never thought it was an option
Wonder when the gonna start asking
What the fuck did it cost him? What it cost him?
Huh

Said what it cost was not no money or no fame
But that feeling when my girl can't even look at me the same
But I'm not the type to let adversity affect my brain
I write these verses so that you can feel my pain

Let me give you the lessons I've learnt
From the questions I had
Now reflected in messages that I pen on the pad
Now I finally know
What we destined for
What we destined for
Homie we blessed for more
Every lesson I've learnt
From the questions I had
Now reflected in messages that I pen on the pad
Now I finally know
What we destined for
What we destined for
Homie we blessed

Now you can run and tell that
Now you can run and tell that
Now you can run and tell that
Ain't no getting held back
We gon give 'em hell back
We gon give 'em hell back

One thing bout music when it hit you feel no pain
And I feel as if I do this music shit to make a change
Don't empty out your wallet, I'm tryna activate yo brain
Wanna share my point of view so we can see this world the same
Cause education is failing cause it's way too slow
Civilisation keeps advancing but there ain't no growth
I'll keep pushing this same agenda til I can't no more
So I can tell my homies "you ain't gotta change lil bro"
My teachers said I had potential I said imma prove em right
Spitting bars inside my room now I get paid to rock a mic
Met iconic, and we came up with a label overnight
Now when they ask about my work, I just say it's something light
Teach the children how to write
Teach em 'bout communication
And teach em that they ain't gotta settle for occupation
And teach em how to work and not to ever get complacent
Cause nobody want it more than the ones that's lacking the patience

So let them run and tell they leaders issa wrap
We done finally found our voice and we ain't never going back
Even if I die I live forever on this track
So before that final curtain fade to black

Let 'em run and tell that
Now let them run and tell that
Now you can run and tell that
Ain't no getting held back
We gon give 'em hell back
We gon give 'em hell back

Yeah
Anything that you wanna do
Anything that you dream of
You can't let anyone tell you to give that up you gotta do that
You gotta chase after it with everything that you have put everything into it
You have the ability to be whatever you wanna be
And I hope I can be an example of that
I hope I can prove to you that there's no limitations on
What we can do
That's us that's our people
That's your destiny
