I got a lot of things to do And I'ma get to it I got a lot on the line I'ma make y'all proud I got a lot to do Not a lot of time to do it I know a little bout a lot I'm still kinda clueless I may not know where I'm heading But I'll pave a road I've been trying not to stress bout what I can't control I let my angels in And let my anger go Everything that glitters Isn't always gold Isn't always gold Yeah You know I Didn't graduate Didn't get my cap and gown I was sad about it then But I'm happy now I moved away and made a life I'm a papi now Tryna get my karma right So I can pass it down Life's been hard I never claimed to be perfect My sights are set I never aimed to be perfect Only good enough To welcome peace into my space These demons ain't been getting Any easier to face The world handed me a deuce I treat it like an ace I'm still in the field I maneuver by the snakes I know they may not see the goals Just know that nobody's safe You may not see the work Just know that my body aches I may not go to church But I know that God is great All I ever had's a couple dollars And some faith Got a lot to do Not a lot of time to do it I know a little about a lot I'm still kinda clueless I may not know where I'm heading But I'll pave a road I've been trying not to stress bout what I can't control I let my angels in And let my anger go Everything that glitters Isn't always gold Isn't always gold Yeah I gotta sacrifice a lot On this quest for progress My intentions ain't to hurt Nobody in the process I got love for everybody It's just from afar What I'm producing Should be platinum But I'm buffing cars The dealer must've shuffled bad Cause I had shitty cards If you grew up in the lake Like I did You know that city scars Working on myself To be a better man It's really hard But if you know me You know what I do I do it well I'm still having thoughts I don't know who to tell I'm used to weighing out My options on my Buddha scale When I was younger I was lame Now I'm cool as hell I may not know Where I'm going But I know I'm going to prevail They say I got a lot to prove But this is the proof I know I got a lot to lose I ain't finna lose I got a lot of things to do Don't got the time to do it I've been through some hardships I thought my life was ruined But I managed it fine Always two steps ahead The way I can't get behind Creating my own path No more standing in line I'm holding myself accountable My standards are high I'll do everything I plan to do's my only mantra You gotta rid yourself of demons They supposed to haunt you I kill em all one by one Till it's a lonely monster And I'm the last standing And I'm deemed champion This is chess not checkers Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a pawn That's the queen's gambit They don't understand shit It's like I'm speaking Sanskrit I've done this my whole life I'm too deep I can't quit yeah I got problems But so does everybody else I'm focused on the prize now And on my body's health My pride has always told me You could do it by yourself If I'd have gave them a chance Somebody probably would help If not for me I gotta do it for my family now I'll always be a kid at heart I'm being manly now My baby's rockin new clothes No more hand-me-downs I finally feel like somebody Understands me now I got a lot to do And I'm happy to do it If there's something that nobody could do My kids'll know their daddy could do it
