I've been workin' like I've been I every day but I just can't let the devil in And if I back then what I know right now What I know now I'd be better I've ever been, better than I've ever been
You ever wonder what it all really Heart full of dreams, I know do it, get it by any means Serving food for the thought it's rock to the fiends I said this shit for years boy, this life ain't what it Sayin' that you can't just solidifies that you never Said you would, you could, but you ain't got the skill You gotta the highest mountain to master the hill You gotta climb over your ego to master will Gave up on dreams for a suit and a pension God damn, I hope here for the intervention You say you would if you had the money, don't me mention it'll cost you nothin' but time for you to pay attention Now don't get me wrong, I know people out there hatin' on ya And it feel like self-esteem is breakin' on ya All they ever to do is hate when you speak They spend seven preyin' on the weak I know the world on ya like a sedative Talk all you want about me homie, I'mma let it Hater this, hater that, say I repetitive Hatin' in blood, you was born to be negative
Never I struggle every day but I just let the devil in And if I knew back then what I right now What I know now I'd be better than I've ever been, better than ever been
This is to everyone that never made it And the people that persevered even though was hated They had a dream and a vision that follow like a religion But on the the road to success is prone to collision And every now and then something happens that's Like that newborn in your life because you unprotected And I swear nobody perfect, I know I ain't Yeah I this verse is heaven sent but I'm far from a saint Live a life with no complaints, tryna do just I can Learn from my father's and become a better man Now a seed and watch 'em grow, teach 'em everything I know Show him how to fight his and always go toe to toe And this I know I been high, low, right, wrong But I had to do it all so I could write this song I spit like the listener is my only son And grip the mic like I'm at war and it's my gun this journey to the top can be a lonely one Yeah, and this victory lap a run While my hometown screamin' you the one Tellin' myself, don't choke, be the frozen one
