Текст песни Dedication - Afari

I'm dedicated, no matter what I'm facing
I am not afraid, I never would've made this
If Satan had his way, I'd remain in a cage
Stagnated, debating which lane am I taking, I
Meditate, mind state elevated
My pain on the page, adrenaline in my veins
'Til the day that I lay in the grave, I will take this
Gift, I won't waste it, It's my dedication

If you wanna make it you need dedication
I train at this daily, work 'til I ace it
Translate my thoughts to these words on the pages
I'm caught in a brainstorm, blind in the mayhem
On the platform as I'm patiently waiting
For another train of thought and my mind is my station
I'll take a step of faith and see where it takes me
Greatness ingrained in my base configuration
Still, my enemy is generating clever schemes
Demons tryna get me to succumb to cunning devilry
But victory they'll never see, even if they ended me
My resting place is heaven and that's where my head is presently
Everything that's testing me will just bring out the best in me
Adversity has certainly turned me into a better me
Already reached a level that I thought I could never reach
Breaking free from my mental penitentiary

I'm dedicated, no matter what I'm facing
I am not afraid, I never would've made this
If Satan had his way, I'd remain in a cage
Stagnated, debating which lane am I taking, I
Meditate, mind state elevated
My pain on the page, adrenaline in my veins
'Til the day that I lay in the grave, I will take this
Gift, I won't waste it, It's my dedication

I fell in love with this art, I put my heart in this
I'm probing in the zone with a scope, see where my target is
Loading up the clip, pull the trigger, discharge the cartridges
I kill it with precision, this is lyrical marksmanship
I bring my A game out, no doubt
This my outlet, like Wade to James on the fast break
Used to be a fantasy to have this in my faculties
Now practically a formality for me to claim a track
And cause a casualty, absent of apathy
I write like an examinee, my mind is my academy
I parry every distraction, this is me in my passion
Brand new me, I'm refashioned, I've been raised from the ashes
Feel like this is what I'm made for
With no remorse, I spit with a force like it's May fourth
Nothing to prove, not in the least, nothing to lose
You can do what you apply your mind to, I'm doing me

I'm dedicated, no matter what I'm facing
I am not afraid, I never would've made this
If Satan had his way, I'd remain in a cage
Stagnated, debating which lane am I taking, I
Meditate, mind state elevated
My pain on the page, adrenaline in my veins
'Til the day that I lay in the grave, I will take this
Gift, I won't waste it, it's my dedication

Step right in my zone as I write on my own
Spend my time all alone but I'm finding my flow
I spit these flames, guess they didn't anticipate it
It's a gift from God who's faithful throughout every situation
I know I've only made it this far by his grace
I'm so motivated, finding beats for stimulation
I write to incinerate 'em, ain't saying I'm better than anybody else
I'm dedicated, I'm just bettering myself
