Mark Edmond, if you didn't know
I never stopped, I kept going
Even with no momentum
Didn't have it made, I really started from the bottom
Never went to college, rapping not getting acknowledged
That's when you start, losing motivation
As well as patience
Felt like giving up, to find something that pay
Then, we lost the house, I still remember that day
Packing up my bags, wondering where we're gon' stay
Didn't know it then, but everything would be OK
I'm still tryna find my way, hopefully, I'm close
The path to success has been a bumpy road
Aim low if you want, I'm tryna be the GOAT
Change lives by expressing a bunch of words I wrote
Take note
Want a better life, for my family
My loved ones, hope to leave a legacy
Still in the process, of overcoming adversity
Was told no, been ignored
Promise, I'll never fold
Spill my truth from pen to paper
Write it in the stars
If it is not written for us, probably wasn't ours
I know what's meant for me will be, eventually
Everything will be OK, it's alright
I'm on my own clock, I know my time
See me out, laughing
Wonder how long would it last?
To live is a blessing
But, it's such a hard task
I'm slipping, and I'm falling
Can't seem to find my footing
Staring at the ceiling
Should I get up, or just forfeit?
Not sure why I said it, but the latter's not an option
Steady persevering, better days on the horizon
I'd be lying
If I said I never doubted
When you're constantly losing
Be kind of hard not to question
Ugh
Nobody cares
Well, that's how it appears
When the stress interferes
Who's gon' lend me an ear?
Help me see things clear
Free me from my fears
Very few come to mind, but still, it's up in the air
Time and time, again
Allowing people to get close
End up being the ones, who be hurting me the most
Had I, known from the start
Markita broke my heart
Know I did the best I could, but still be feeling it's my fault
Spill my truth from pen to paper
Write it in the stars
If it is not written for us, probably wasn't ours
I know what's meant for me will be, eventually
Everything will be OK, it's alright
I'm on my own clock, I know my time
Can't let nobody define your progress
Or, success
Only you know where you truly came from
And, all the things you had to overcome
To get to whatever point you're at
And, you should be proud of that
I know what's meant for me will be, eventually
