Verse: I Woke Up As everything I thought I'd be Each part of me, using to record and perform on streets Most won't do this normally It's why I live enormously, 'Only just begun trust me when I say there's more to see' This one's here for each and everyone who ever doubted me This is the for the late nights and those hard days that clouded me This is for the people showing love and staying down with me This is for my family, I'm hoping that you proud of me Funny thing bout life, ain't no telling how it's gonna go We say that time's limited, hope that mine is burning slow On this road you'll always be a student whether young or old But I learned if I give you anything it's from the Soul Everything you looking for is everything you find in you Cuz underneath the pressure is where the hardest diamonds grew Keep on trying be surprised what a little time could do 'Member when my days were dark but now my light is shining through Heard the game's fucked up, I'm here to be the remedy I be the one and only and I'm here to leave my legacy Even through the highs and lows sincere with all my energy This music gave me purpose but I dare to call it destiny!

Verse 1: I done came a long way from running round in Jamaica Queens Born in NY always heard, this city's one that's made of dreams Nas said the world is mine y'all don't gotta wait and see Skies to oceans my devotion shows that this was made for me Other's can't see ya vision they believe that you won't make it far That's just elementary like when I was back at school at Sacred Heart But this life is like a movie now and the hero's where I play the part So of course I want every dollar but in the end I won't forsake the art (no, no) Now I'm here sitting on clouds thinking bout when I was low In our hardest moments' is when we finally see we're powerful Why between streets and venues doing at least a thousand shows Making the most of every minute not worried where the hours go Cuz Honestly there's nothing else that I'd rather do yea yea How far we get depends on attitude yea yea What you put out is what's coming back to you yea yea Keep my head up through days I battle through cuz HOOK: Imma be good no matter come my way ay Imma be good ain't worried what they say ay Imma be good I won't ever run away ay Imma be good imma always find a way ay Imma be good, yea imma be good Imma be good, yea imma be good Imma be good, yea imma be good Give it some time and we all gon be good ay (I'll Be Good (4×)) Verse 2: I'm doing me and what I feel is right Working hard tryna build a life Just like y'all I deal with strife, it has its price, that bill ain't light So know this ain't a magic trick This life I live I imagined it For what I want I'm adamant Cuz I'm young, black, and I'm passionate You know People say to me ya style's not what I'm really used to bro 'It's okay I didn't come to this world to do the usual' Like IG recommended I be 'someone you should know' Found my heart in the cards like 'we're back playing Yugioh' So everyday got my chest out cuz I refuse to be backing down I, left college but hardknocks held me down with a cap and gown Now I chop it up with the OGs while giving em dap and pounds Putting in work watching blessings coming back around I know one thing that people won't say about me is that I didn't try I do what most won't do I'll take my dream to the finish line I'd rather go all or nothing than to 'play myself and live a lie' knowing how far I've come is why I can't deny, that HOOK

1st Verse 'How can I' explain all my pain to you Is this shit all a game to you Yo fuck money and fame 'I'm doing all I came to do' Climb to greater heights while reaching the unattainable Tryna escape the journey to reclaim peace that they take from you 'I'm capable' This lifestyle enables you Some say too much, 'lose control and it changes you' When you faithful to, 'who you are that vibe's unbreakable Unmistakable Like me in your top 5 it's not debatable' 'Now my table's full' Fruits of my labor stay flavorful Say my shit's fire now and now everyone wants to take a pull Still I'm grateful to, people saying you're amazing dude Cuz thanks to you I realize I still got plenty thangs to do As my pages move, these days most days are cool blazing through, I blaze a few Reflecting how my stages grew Used my basement to Improve the basic tools Of an art that paints the room And there I learned that I'm the same as you ........................ 2nd Verse - Man I'm just, keeping it honest with, myself and my consciousness Our problem is, we only like to see the accomplishments The opposite of modest when all the people acknowledge it It feels like S O L and G O D is synonymous Our Only option is To proceed with some confidence It's Obvious on days when self-esteem isn't prominent, I promise with all the energy that's deposited This music will move the world more than TV and politics See me keep rocking this Through each of the continents While looking at my kingdom like I'm seated in opulence Like breathing in oxygen I defeated all objects in, My way, I'm here to stay so best believe there's no stopping him They just try to box us in And turn us to hostages But since a star was born y'all seen none as hot as this The reason why I exist Is not so I hide these gifts But to show why my Soul is what I'm reaching HORIZONS with
