paroles de chanson The Root - Said , Napoleon Da Legend , Akhenaton

At times I feel it's all dark, victories is hard fought
Even the small ones for start, things fall apart
Waiting for the stars and the planets to align
For my life on earth to finally confirm what I knew inside
I raised the stakes and I made many mistakes
And missteps still thankful people stole my mixtapes
Took a breath and braced myself for the leap of faith
Time's precious everyday, I don't believe in waste
Friendships that caused pain within the large maze
I just praised god's name and
Trained like Bernard King
Sudden loss of life can make ya heart sink
Sharp pain ball and chain on ya ankles it's hard to break
Cycles happen we go through phases like Michael Jackson
Things can change faster than you might imagine
Happiness is not a tied to a result
Glad I finally found a calling for myself before my final call

I used to hate it when they doubted made me push harder
My short term was looking bleak I had to look farther
When you mix street and book smart you get em shook god
Temple of doom I reached in my chest it took heart
Had to quit the dead end job, my friends discouraged me
Cause out here security synonymous to currency
Mental endurance, rejection was a courage pill
I swallow bunch of those... and pushed with a determined will
Burned both ends of the candle under the star spangled
Going against the odds until the day the odds thank you
No one believes until you start to achieve
When you realize it's not about you, you start receive
I move with godspeed through the gauntlet the beef and conflict
The consequence on being in the light tension is constant
And it's a scene full of zombies in this Ponzi scheme
Calmly dream keep my laundry clean
And keep pushing

Skip the basics they said I would be ill-fated
Never had a record deal still feeling real major
Build like the masons from Flatlands to Mill Basin
Had the IAM killer tape "Concept" with ill cadence
Percy to Kane, Tragedy to Fame
Next level next devil still had to beat the game
Lost friends along the way and gained more
Put pressure on myself, what you think I kept the name for?
They told me keep the faith I rather spread it
And when it's on rush the scene like paramedics
Build friendship I would've thought was unexpected
Build bonds with the word and that's no pun intended
Soon as the plane hit the tarmac
I put the bar back where it should have
Been and that's a god fact
In the city where they carjack
Me and my homies used to dream about being mega stars in rap
Looking at the stars, wishing it's a hard mission
Reality'll leave a scar that's a non-fiction
I learned to travel light enjoy the journey more
So many cop nice things to hide a dirty core
Sold em my art where I showed my heart
Exposed it all to y'all when I lowered my guard
That's when the wounds start to heal, it's not a drill
T La Rock said "Its Yours" man it's ours for real

From boom boxes to rocking tube socks
Always fresh can hear us coming from 2 blocks
