Baller's Creed (feat. Da Realest) Video (MV)

Twenty nineteen, been a minute since I was nineteen
Just getting started in the A state working everyday for my dream
To play ball for the Hogs. When I got that call my jaw
Dropped to the floor, couldn't believe my day came
I made haste yeah I had some tall draws to fill
When I hit that field. Minimal skill, relentless will, willing to spill my guts
It was my one shot, still in the gym to bust reps when everyone gone home
I may like to work alone but I didn't do it all on my own
Family backing me, tragedies happening. Sad to see half of these
Parents keep raising a pair of kids like parakeets
Held captive whether actually or mentally. Please feed them nutritiously
Give them a pear to eat. Don't know if a prayer will reach
Maybe my pen and ink. Youth lacking three very important things

Courage, commitment, vision
Courage to carry a burden, commitment to live with intention
And vision to carry ya further and further, carry them further it's urgent
Courage, commitment, vision
Courage to carry a burden, commitment to live with intention
And vision to carry ya further and further, carry them further it's urgent

Courage, commitment, vision. The recipe to wisdom
God is the chemist. It's ya boy Da Realest just living life
I'm trying wake up out the dream and take flight
The answer is me (who) me (yeah). I'm the chosen one
How come all the hate? How come all the poor?
How come we die everyday just because our color?
But they steady wanna jock us and steal us for the culture
The commitment is always to keep going
The vision to always look closer (yeah that's the rule)
All the hate and all the struggles
It's to make you wiser and stronger, something like boulder
Heads up, never keep your head down
Teeth showing, remember always keep a smile
It's the power of the mind that keeps a crowd
Leading as a king as I strut the crown
I used to be lost but now I'm found
Flowing for a baller's creed, just don't drown
Yeah we rapping in the Fay town
Faychill do ya hear me now (yeah)

Courage, commitment, vision
Courage to carry a burden, commitment to live with intention
And vision to carry ya further and further, carry them further it's urgent
Courage, commitment, vision
Courage to carry a burden, commitment to live with intention
And vision to carry ya further and further, carry them further it's urgent

Courage, commitment, vision. Absurd how these kids be living
Allergic to criticism. Let's turn down their inhibitions
And stir up their intuition. Keep working to make a difference
Exterminate the division and learn about living within
Your means if ya earning less than you're spending
Service without incentive. I'm serving sinister sentences
Surgical with pen I'm in a hurry to clinch my victory
Even if it takes til my thirties to make a dent
I'll be determined with my intentions, purposeful there's no quitting
You heard me right. Steady inching on the journey, I'm in position
To win, took some hits on the chin, caught my second wind
Exerting every bit of energy, hurting but never giving in
Asserting my independence reverberates in my spirit
Confirm that the ignition can turn over the engine
My spark is strong, no concern I'm pushing pistons like Scottie Pippen
Emerging as a winner cause my commitment
We urgently press the issue in competition
Deserting our mission is not considered
My nerves are made of steel and I'm hard to trigger
Adverse conditions cannot stop my ambition
The words I'm spitting emitting positivity
P-positivity, what's gotten into me?
P-positivity, that's what's gotten into me
