Verse 1:
Everybody watchin,
Better stay locked in
'Never gon stop him'
gotta keep rocking
Til they dig the hole my body gets dropped in

If you didn't know quittin ain't a option
Opinions I'm Living good without them
Knowing all the hours that I clocked in
Is why J La Sol gon be sitting in ya Top ten

No I won't stay lowkey
Through it all I been the same old me
All you go through they won't see
To prove myself there ain't no need
These kids on drugs like it's KOD
I'm here to change that same Motif of getting ass, and getting the bag and tryna flip it to make mo cheese

I'm another black man grinding hustling 'through the streets'
Not with herb or dope but words of hope and now I do the beats.
I'm an artist turn my pain to paintings just so 'you could see'
Regardless how it started in the end it turns out beautifully

Wanna change things around you, you better act like you want it bad
Most days won't be easy but, you,
gotta want it more than that
I decided that for me, I'm no longer holding back
My heart's on the track and all that means, I ain't ever falling back...

Background
(I've been trying 4x)

If I didn't do all that I could then it'd be a waste
Tryna get better by learning from
each mistake
So only moving forward and I dont need the brakes
Imagine what this life could be if you chose to be the change

Been tryna keep my head up, I've been tryna keep the faith
When you stressing how to move yea ya gotta keep the faith
Asking if it's gon be worth it, yea you gotta keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the keep the
Keep the faith
............

Verse 2:
Now's my momenttt, yea yea
Wanna talk power know that I hold it
I manifest life with the words of a poet
Like Jill Scott, tryna stay golden
Through the Dark Knights like Christopher Nolan
Pride and my ego been my opponents
Tryna find peace in a system's that Broken

So I ask, what's it all mean
Everything social lives in a screen
While everyday issues turn into memes
And all of the attention turn y'all to fiends
Chasing that high y'all hitting extremes
But it dont matter, got bigger streams
Til it gets played out, next nigga's laid out
The same ol story with the same ol scenes

When you doing you most won't understand at all
Innerstanding that is what finally helped this man evolve
Built myself from the ground up this that shit that can't be bought
Been a King since 94 so you know I'm standing tall

Even with the odds against me
I'm determined to make this work
Often times the road less traveled is the one that's paved with dirt
Either come up with more excuses or go and claim your worth
Before I give up on this life imma go create it first
