I ain't ever been the type to be tongue-tied
Always say what I like to from my mind
Taking chances, I never let it run by
Don't believe then you're in for a rough ride
Cut ties if you carry way too much pride
Only want to stick around for the upside
I always put my heart on the front line
Caution never got me through the tough times
Yeah, my potential getting so high
Going straight head on like a nose dive
So long that I felt like a mistake
Perspective really changes up your whole life
Had to learn by myself that the people all around you
Translate to the energy you giving off
But I know if I'm crowded or alone that the drive that I have
Can't be held back in a box
I do not play the game that you expect of me
Drama and barriers can't stop my destiny
Told myself that I'd shoot past the mezzanine
I built a ladder from hard work and stress in me
Slander my name but you watching every move
Biggest fan that I got, I could never lose
Hard to trust anybody smiling all the time
'Cause a smile is a mask hiding inner truth
Always go against the grain, people waiting for the day
That you fall and you didn't find peace
And keep your head down, when you finally succeed
They will switch and tell you that they always really did believe
Never let somebody try to steal all your light
Had to learn it from some people tryna hinder my reach
And impede what I seek, Left me gritting my teeth
But I'll never keep quiet here's the message I preach
I ain't ever been the type to be tongue-tied
Always say what I like to from my mind
Taking chances, I never let it run by
Don't believe then you're in for a rough ride
Cut ties if you carry way too much pride
Only want to stick around for the upside
I always put my heart on the front line
Caution never got me through the tough times
Crazy how things can all change in your life
I remember the times when my pain was a theme
I'm tryna get to a place where the wealth that I'm making
Becomes a generational stream
Paid all my dues now my music is paying
And paving a way for the days that I dreamed
Losing is not a good look on me
But how I'm bouncing back is always making a scene
Ain't it obvious how I'm going forth
For the ones I love I'm trying to open doors
Heard that blood is thicker but some water I know
Got some ties that's deeper than the ocean floor
Know some people out there tryna bring me down
Had some friends in life that only tried to take
Got some family members that I don't connect with
Only thing we share is what it is in our veins
Following my heart, and always trust your gut
Don't allow a trend to lead the way you live
When you fall apart you always get back up
The universe returns the energy you give
That's the wave length I been cruising on
You try to disrespect me you can move along
You get no love if you do me wrong
That's the motto I live that I've newly donned
Ay
I ain't ever been the type to be tongue-tied
Always say what I like to from my mind
Taking chances, I never let it run by
Don't believe then you're in for a rough ride
Cut ties if you carry way too much pride
Only want to stick around for the upside
I always put my heart on the front line
Caution never got me through the tough times
