Lyrics
with the music beating on my chest
rap till my last breath
lay the music out before i forever rest
every artist comes from a different story
the people that came after and before me
struggle to get to where i wanna be
every word and every lyric
written for the mic
recorded and laid out for you to hear it
take a second and listen
we teach you all a lesson
about life and how often it could be depressing
i speak not just for me
but for all the emcees
who sacrificed what they have to try live their dreams
for all the artists startin young
keep your head sprung
when shit pops up dont turn around and run
stand your ground
and prepare for battle crys
clench your fist and grit your teeth and stare em straight in the eye
everyday could be your moment
dont let it be stolen
grasp what you have, reach for it and hold it
we come from different backgrounds
we dont have the same eyes and face
but when it comes to hiphop, we could all relate
dont lose yourself
dont rely on help
cause anybody in the game could strike you below the belt
stay focus
keep ya grindage
look ahead of you but dont get narrow minded
reach in your soul
i know you could find it
pull out what you have inside, dont always hide it
cause we all have potential
to be special
dont listen to what other people say, they messing with you
or they just jealous
they envy your talents
so everytime they talk smack bout you, they just wish they had it cause..
but seriously
hiphop aint a game
its like taking what you have in ya mind and putting it into a frame
because hiphop is an art
its not hard
thats why even the little kids are beginning to start
but take a second look
theres even more
young artists trying to get inside the game because they growing up poor
eating bread
and living in crap
thats why most of them fine people turn to rap
and i give em respect
they deserve it
pouring their hearts out just to wake in a bed in the morning
hustling and dealing
artists who i'm feeling
and those who think they the shit when their only fan is spinning on the ceiling
tracks that appeal
rappers that stay real
doing their daily grind mang, their destiny is concealed
but sometimes
i never stop to think
what would happen to us if we didnt get the win?
will we be back in the streets
living the cold heat
or just give up cause our feet is drenched in defeat?
but i dont know mang
the world is hard to understand
i know i just gotta do what i know i can
everyday our past expands
our futures running short
we all gotta live for something before our lives distorts
trying to get the pieces to fit right
like a jigsaw
but the pieces always end up getting lost in a mix
so we growing up
trying to get it fix
by resisting all the punches and the kicks
hiphop is the solution
the rap evolution
a collision of the vocal and mind like a war revolutionso i stay headstrong
dont get me wrong
even if i'm young then my fate is prolonged
just take it slow
cause its a bumpy road
listen carefully to the words and watch my life unfold
the money on my mind
my mind on the game
waiting patiently before i snap and go insane
so i'm hoping you feel this
cause the choice is you
just remember you could do anything you set your mind to cause..
