Lyrics Elysium - Tarik

Live from where the ones who really want it
Become the ones who do it not just say it
The line is drawn across the sand and time will
Reveal which side your heart will choose to lay in
Many men before me ended stories
Prematurely mine is in the making
Here to stay and if I ever fade the baton I
Pass will last for Generations

Luckily I never stopped
I was fortunate enough to put up better shots
I was blessed enough to grow up where there's lesser odds
Yea
You could tell I'm from a different cloth
Had to stay in the pocket to get this off
And to feel the way I feel I had to take a loss
And to bounce from where I was I had to stay the course

Now it's no more back and forth between the highs and the lows
That's not my fortune, it's the path that I chose
Falling's one thing, getting up is just code
They haven't reaped the fruit of both and it shows

Meanwhile in my garden, crops that I harvest
Grow beyond the dreams I had when I started
I don't feel like rapping bout who's the hardest
Here today and then tomorrow departed

Here to stay, my game is highly regarded
Next deal on the table must be the largest
Aimed for process, ended up at the target
Future's bright but I made light out of darkness
... Guess I'm ballin regardless
I been working in the cut, now I'm sharpened
I can sculpt a dream to life, I'm an artist
Pure in heart and soul, my name won't be tarnished

I can sculpt a dream to life, I'm an artist
