| Cold hand, sharp pencil
|
| I scribbled a stanza
|
| As my hands are trembling
|
| Grade seven, made Heaven, out of words
|
| I began to build a world that only I inhabit
|
| I got a habit of rapping 'bout tragic sh-
|
| I think I’m just passionate
|
| Tryna steer the way while in the dark
|
| Hope I ain’t crashin' it (Woah)
|
| Now my little hobby turned to cashin' out
|
| Thinking 'bout who I’d be if I listened to doubt
|
| Said I’d never do it, well look at me now
|
| Young girl, old dream
|
| Old soul, oh dear
|
| Plan B, plan well
|
| Good luck, no fear
|
| Just wait and God will tell you when the time’s near
|
| But if I never jump then I die here
|
| They don’t ride 'til you pick up speed
|
| They think college is all you need (Woah)
|
| And I don’t blame your brainwashin' on you, G
|
| It took me nineteen years to finally start to believe
|
| And that’s me, listen
|
| I’ma make it in the rain or shine
|
| All about my money, don’t waste my time
|
| Ain’t nobody gonna bring me down
|
| I’m on an elevator
|
| I’m on to something greater
|
| Ain’t nobody gonna take my crown
|
| Okay
|
| This is for the kids with depression
|
| The one’s whose parental expectations got them stressin' (Woah)
|
| The one’s who would rather persevere, bust they ass, tryna make it 'cause-
|
| They ain’t really livin' in the present
|
| They out here grindin', seekin' perfect timin'
|
| Tunin' out the useless voices that discourage rhymin'
|
| «Get a real job!»
|
| I don’t argue with my destiny
|
| And if my choices don’t affect you, why you testin' me?
|
| And as of late, I been askin' God, why He blessin' me
|
| I could cry enough tears to fill the chesapeake
|
| Hold it together, girl
|
| You deserve the world and if no one else will say it
|
| Then I’ll spit it to the mic in the studio when I lay it
|
| Now play it when you discouraged
|
| I know chasin' the impossible take some courage
|
| And I can promise at the end of your journey
|
| When it’s all said and done
|
| Won’t nothin' feel much better then hearin', «My nigga, you won»
|
| Aye!
|
| I’ma make it in the rain or shine
|
| All about my money, don’t waste my time (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
|
| Ain’t nobody gonna bring me down (Bring me down, no)
|
| I’m on an elevator
|
| I’m on to something greater
|
| Ain’t nobody gonna take my crown (Ain't nobody gonna take my crown)
|
| Oh (Oh-oh, oh)
|
| Oh (Oh-oh, oh)
|
| Oh (Oh-oh, oh)
|
| Oh (Oh-oh, oh)
|
| Listen
|
| God is always blessin' me
|
| Tears could fill the chesapeake
|
| Oh (Oh-oh, oh)
|
| Oh (Oh-oh, oh)
|
| Listen
|
| God is always blessin' me
|
| Tears could fill the chesapeake
|
| Oh (Oh-oh, oh)
|
| Oh (Oh-oh, oh) |
