I, got a dream, a scheme, and the key to success
But it doesn't matter cuz my pigmentations incorrect
So I'm at the bottom, and trying to become a problem
Nobody could ever solve em so I tell my fam "I got em"
And I feel like its my only chance the time is ticking slowly
I'm tryna stand out, never tried to fit in homie
So if you wit it, I thank you, I'm doing this for yall
And I say good riddens to anybody that's not involved
Cuz they dissolve once the moneys in my palm
And finally realize that I'm sickest of them all so
I'm riding solo and got the cross as my logo
Cuz when I started to drown, He kept me floating like water polo
Forget a yolo, cuz my life is eternal
And I'll leave this world a legend walk away like Joe Paterno
Cuz I gotta leave my mark, guarentee they'll know my name
Forget about who I was, and look at who I became

(Chorus) -x2
It started with a dream, now I'm shooting for the stars, hopefully it takes me far (I'm putting time in)

I got the mindstate of a lyrical adolescent
Always stressing over the future, don't care about the present
Cuz I learned a lesson from dealing with this constant aggression
That I'll never make it if I don't treat it like a profession
This is business, and I'm climbing up the ranks
Doing whatever it takes to be the one they love to hate
Cuz a youngin makin bank is such an easy target
I mute em and boot em cuz all that they can speak is garbage
I be where a star is, never running outta space
Leaving em in silence like a lawyer without a case
A speaker without a bass, a girl that is double faced
And those are just examples of the things that I truly hate
I'm havin fun with this, DNA is strung with this
Traveling a long road, got my seat buckle in
Gotta keep hustling, like I'm on a fast break
They tryna be good, boy I'm finna be past great

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Trust God, work hard, be patient -x2
If I do that, times not wasted cuz I'll be on top, laughing at those who hate it

(Chorus)
