Reminiscing on the days
When nothing mattered
Back Before I knew my hopes and dreams would end up somewhere scattered
Before I lost my heart inside these streets and got it shattered
I will never quit even if I'm beaten bruised and battered
Don't think I know anyone else who wants it badder
When They try to get inside my head it only makes me madder
Intelligent young man that might have to play a factor
Soak up all the information watch me turn into a master
We bout to turn up the degrees and warm it up in here
I Heard the truth will set me free
Now watch me disappear
In this life Can't believe all of that noise you hear
Life ya life to the fullest let me make it clear
If they ain't with you they against you that's facts
Ima Say it one more time for the people in the back
If they ain't with you they against you that's facts
People made it out the hood without ever selling crack
Oh there's a way if there's a will
That's how I feel
There's always hidden secrets but it might not get revealed
How you think so many got inside the game without a deal
I know people right now hungry for a hot meal
Ain't got the plugin on the game so they can get it heard
So they spend every single day living in the burg
All they know is bout the streets ain't never seen the burbs
As I child I seen people sleeping on the curb
And Every challenge that we faced doesn't matter anymore
If there's a will there's a way
As the haters post up and they plot to see us fall
We just tryna get paid
Ain't go to college not a scholar
By any means
I made my mind up bout my life when I was seventeen
Never know if ima make it ain't no guarantee
You Only fail if you don't try most people fail to see
If you put in all the effort to get noticed
It could change ya whole life and set all ya dreams in motion
Ain't no sense to spend the mean time coastin
Twitter feeds got you wasting ya whole life away posting
Instead of worrying bout what's posted on a timeline
Figure out how to live your dreams in your lifetime
Get your head inside the game get off the sidelines
It ain't no rulebook in life
There ain't no guidelines
If you unsatisfied with your way of living
You gotta be the first one try to make a difference
So I cut most of my ties and try to keep a distance
Sometimes I start to think of all the lies and keep forgetting
That Every challenge that we faced doesn't matter anymore
If there's a will there's a way
And the haters post up and they plot to see us fall
But we still getting paid
Reminiscing on the days when nothing mattered
Before I lost my heart inside these streets and got it shattered
Don't think I know anyone else who wants it badder
Intelligent young man that might have to play a factor
