Choose a track to play
I'm saying to you
What if somebody say, "You can count on me", and they don't come through?
I barely get discouraged, but tonight is different
Lately, even my father doesn't get the vision
I got no manager, no label, and no policies
And all the people 'round me that been making it for nepotism
My mind racing, my skin sweating, my heart broken
Time wasted, wake-up call wasn't no calm notion
I had some hard motion, but I was lacking from my depression
And now I'm back, but everything is all frozen
So now I'm working late, every night and every day
Friends back away, I'm mad, but I'm too busy getting pape'
Promise when I make it, we gon' celebrate
But I gotta show these featherweights I'm the greatest, when we set it straight
I got some bombs in the files I'ma detonate
I'm coming with the fire hungry, looking like I never ate
When they give me something I can chew up, I'ma lick the plate
God told me this is my path, so I stick with faith
And I've had shows where nobody showed up
And the doc that told me I would never make it showed up
Had the students and the teachers always show me no love
Had a fake friend break my fucking jaw in cold blood
And my first love try to ruin all my opportunities
So fuck the whole community, I'm in no rush
I just want the longevity, I wanna be a legend, D
I'm about to show you he ain't a kid, he's grown up, that's real
I'm about to really show my father that I'm ready for it (facts)
He's thinking that I missed the shot, but yo, you never know it
And tell my mom I'ma have the crib of her dreams
And we'll be living with home gyms and flat screens
I promise everything gonna feel like a bad dream
When I get us out, that's what I'ma make the past seem
So I'ma keep my head high and these raps clean
D stand for determination, so that's what that means
Nobody believes in you
You've lost again and again and again
The lights are cut off, but you still looking at your dream
Reviewing it every day and saying to yourself, "It's not over until I win"
Tryna figure out how I'ma do things with Pops in his bag
And my mama got mood swings
Really tryna make it to the top of the food chain
They tell whoever sitting at the top of loose cane
I never want my son to check his pocket for loose change
God forbid I die while I'm living like Bruce Wayne
God know I'm different since I listen to 2 Chainz
Don't leave me caught up in a fast life like Usain
I made my adjustments, and to the game, I've been hustlin'
And I done walked through the rain so much
That I rarely even ever feel the pain, I'm just numb to it
You would never hear me sayin' that I couldn't do it
And the devil said he missin' me, I told him ain't no mystery
To me and you, a history surrounded by the misery I never litigated me
I'm tryna build a legacy, so everybody let me because you was not Sam Nye
You was not a friend of me, you kicked me down physically and tried to hurt me mentally
And now I'm like, "Remember me from back in elementary?"
I told 'em I will make it and I did get on eventually and that shit's for real
This shit is mine for the taking
And I'm back to come and take it, never pull you up and left you in the snow
They say rappers all mistaken 'cause I'm focused on making it
And I ain't never gonna let it go
Let it go, let it go
Ain't never gonna let it go
Ain't never gonna let it go
