Life is but a dream but I just woke up
I'm thriving off of work ethic and skill 'cause I don't know luck
In the past I made a habit acting passive so they never saw my passion
Now I'm living out my dream because I spoke up
It's crazy
If you [A7got [Fm7]it, ain't no ɾeason [C7]to [C7]bluff
Just show 'em [A]bout it, ain't no need to [C7]say much
Intuition, don't ever doubt it. Always keep it in touch
What's your vision? Just know you [A7slippin when you [A7think it's enough
Don't ever let up
Take the fall. They can talk. Shake em [A]off. Thank em
They showed u all [Em]the ɾecords yet, and [Bm]still I'm out to [C7]break em
Handed all [Em]the tools you [A7never use so imma take 'em
Say you [A7want it more than ever but your actions say you're fakin'
Foster that knowledge 'cause that shit's a weapon
Let's say you [A7packed away your accolades, now what you [A7left with
Most of your friends will turn their backs away within a second
You spent the past procrastinating
Should've been invested in your craft
Your pockets broke but you're mentally affluent
Knowledge is power, just know the money comes after it
Yea, you [A7failed the test but you [A7understood half of it
Now, imagine that if you [A7actually practice it
F*ck motivation [C7]'cause that shit is fickle
Fix your lack of self contɾol and [Bm]your commitment issues
Notice that you [A7never progress because you [A7play the victim
Blame it on [C7]yourself for [Dm7]once, it's time to [C7]listen for [Dm7]a change
And get the f*ck up out your comfort zone for [Dm7]once in your life
You ain't doing shit special if it you [A7ain't once sacrificed
Your effort is of the essence
Your character will be [Am]tested
The ɾest for [Dm7]you [A7is a lesson
They'll burry you [A7if you [A7let them [A]
But let them; 'cause they don't see that you're a seed about to [C7]sprout
To optimize your growth weeds are weeded out the ground
Summon [C7]them [A]out. They're steadily ɾunning around, utterly gunning for [Dm7]clout
Keep it in your heart. The unsuccessful speak it from they mouth
Transmute to [C7]kings and [Bm]queens - they seek to [C7]obsolete yo crown
Now take heed of where they're from, it seems to [C7]often be [Am]your town
The closest people spite you [A7on [C7]the under
Delight at all [Em]your plights and [Bm]hope you [A7slip into [C7]a slumber
But nah, don't let up. Cant let up
Eyes dilated like [F]I was [Am7]on [C7]amρhetas
Smiles finally fading cause I got [Fm7]my [A]plan set up
Why the fact that we finally eatin got [Fm7]they klan fed up
Man, step up. We some fuckin tɾend setters
They hate us on [C7]the under like [F]they got [Fm7]a vendetta
They shade us 'til the sun up cuz they see us on [C7]the come up
Let 'em [A]feel the pressure everytime they take a glance at us
Relax a bit, but don't you [A7let up because that's how you [A7fail
And take a sec to [C7]learn yourself and [Bm]know ya value well
You'll backpedal but ɾecoup from all [Em]your losses
Don't focus on [C7]the pedals; cultivate the ɾoot; you'll blossom
Grow
