Always put my faith in myself

I'll never be let down

I doubt it

Ain't no need in crying out for help

I'll go and get it myself

I got it

I done spent some years searching but the answer's right here

Always used my own shirt to dry my face and wipe tears

It's always been myself against myself all these years

I done spent some years searching but the answer's right here

Always used my own shirt to dry my face and wipe tears

It's always been myself against myself all these years

Man you don't know how many years I sat in my room

Holding the remote control

Rapping tryna imagine selling arenas with mama at the door

Asking "why you fail in class?" and "what your teacher call me for?"

In all this time she never knew her son had bigger dreams to show

Mama they just tell us what they want

Not what we need to know

They teaching us to work for them mama I wanna be the CEO

These schools don't care about us

And even where them white people go

Why I gotta check the box saying I'm black?

Man you don't need to know

I grew up round money

But get it like I ain't had shit

Cause I'm thinking bout the future

Example I set when I had kids

I don't need your money

My kids good off what they granddad did

I do this for the ones out selling water to help with half the rent

I do this for the ones afraid to say what they wanna do

Around dumb individuals

They'll never see eye to eye with you

Cause every time I tried to open up and tell someone my vision

They never seen it

Cause they never did it

That's why I

Always put my faith in myself

I'll never be let down

I doubt it

Ain't no need in crying out for help

I'll go and get it myself

I got it

Always put my faith in myself

I'll never be let down

I doubt it

Ain't no need in crying out for help

I'll go and get it myself

I got it

I done spent some years searching but the answer's right here

Always used my own shirt to dry my face and wipe tears

It's always been myself against myself all these years

I done spent some years searching but the answer's right here

Always used my own shirt to dry my face and wipe tears

It's always been myself against myself all these years

You didn't realize it's been yourself

Against yourself for all these years?

You didn't realize you've been the one projecting all these fears?

Causing all these tears

Cause you didn't tap into the greatness inside of you

The gifts God placed inside in spite of you

Not seeing the God within the very thread of you

But God sent me to be the voice to tell you to go off in your story

Go stand in your glory

God sent me to be the voice to wake up my own

I'm screaming "God knows all your needs"

Tell yourself

With all the shame, doubt, guilt and fear we're through

Submit to the power that is within you

Within you

Always put my faith in myself

I'll never be let down

I doubt it

Crying out for help

I'll go and get it myself

I got it

Always put my faith in myself

I'll never be let down

I doubt it

Crying out for help

I'll go and get it myself

I got it

I done spent some years searching but the answer's right here

Always used my own shirt to dry my face and wipe tears

It's always been myself against myself all these years

I done spent some years searching but the answer's right here

Always used my own shirt to dry my face and wipe tears

It's always been myself against myself all these years

See, see I had to find this out the hard way

I learned stop making excuses and look in

The mirror and see what you could do better

Stop pointing the finger

Stop, stop putting your life in other people's hands

It's, all it takes is you

If you don't believe what, what you think you gon' accomplish?

And I live by that

Forever
