Nelson Mandela said There is no passion to be found playing small and settling For a life that is less than the one you are capable of living If you don't fail you're not even trying My wife told me this great expression To get something you never had You have to do something that you never did Show me you can't I promise you I'll show you that you can Perception of my mind I'm just going through it Rolling through it Quick Let me start with my speech I don't claim to be Malcolm X But I assure you there's pain from what I speak Take me off my leach Let me speak my own You see the problem is Friends keep hating on friends making childish harassment Whilst fake friends hating cause all they care about is body count ratings Or status Which to me they're probably faking There's so much more to life than just waiting For opportunity to come that's just degrading Yourself Blaming yourself Hoping somehow it'll just work out for itself You see Take what's yours whilst it's there for the taking I know we all have our story to tell Mines just a bafta winning movie in the making Failures not an option My motivational thoughts are just invading Like Jack O'Connell in Unbroken If you know my life story Then you know why I can't sit by and refuse my glory Listen The story is untold so listen closely Heard the story of my dad died I hope he didn't suffer Although we may be apart Hope God took you to heaven and made you holy I still hold on to the smallest memories Cause those are the greatest trophies Lost my dad so mum had to protect Fifteen years went by I had to go to the grave to pay my respect Love and hate won't make me neglect At the same time It's playing on my mind like a different effect Behind the claps and standing ovations Some people don't want to see you be the number one prospect That's why when things go downhill It'll be the same people that will push you away like some worthless object Well I don't stand for that I clap back at them I can't really speak on it Reason it My mind is so infatuated Validating The lifestyle of mine I can't even lash out or fathom my mind There's no greater amount When it comes to my thoughts My thoughts are just whips now Damaging with contact They say time heals all wounds but how long till it protracts, Distract me from my egos Subtract the egocentric Hoping to stay humble like Kendrick Or Jimmy Hendrix but who knows But really I'm just trying to find answers without really asking Maybe its the absence of dad Like the quickness in the sand Graduation or football moments Hoping he's sitting in the stands Or hoping to get answers from his spirit Like Tchalla in Black Panther But that's just a fairy tale A merry tale like Santa At the end of the day that's probably just the most simplest answers So show me you can't I promise you I'll show you that you can My superpower is in my light just like Ryan Reynolds or Brie Larson If you don't already know I'm no ordinary person But If I speak out then I'm the judgmental person All I know is Build a bridge Gather wood Unqualified job Fatherhood Your kids don't just come from you, They go through you Stand and watch Greatness on prime time If that's understood So show me you can't I promise you I'll show you that you can Your mindset will give up first if you doubt yourself Fight yourself Your deepest fear will come out If you hide upstairs Alone with yourself comes with the quiet tears Lord Mold the word of protection around me Recited prayers In the nighttime That's where you'll find the darkness there Darkest nights produce the brightest stars Hope it shines up here My guardian angel Dad Hope you're watching over me from there Cause I can really feel the world pushing us closer and closer to get there How is it so The innocent souls Are being deprived of their own voice That's just how it goes The pain in my heart Seeing my black brothers brutalized online whilst we're singing it's coming home It's becoming known Some people are too much of a coward to say it So I'm just saying it how it is Just to let you know I'm overflowing with the biggest loving The hugs and kisses The person that listen To how my day is That's the person I give my biggest praises Good friends are rare I'm not gonna say who their name is But just so you know I'm thinking of you Not to forget your family too We may not speak like we used to But I'll still be there To give you a point or two of my own view good friends are never apart Guess that's true Memories are treasures Pleasures with the emotions that we cherish Flourish with your destiny in mind So if you show me you can't I promise you I'll still show you that you can But still I can't just sit back and say it ain't so Some of us are living in a lie Fake it till you make it thinking Till you're living in denial It's an illusion Or just special effects like its like CGI Get the green screen up Change location like you're due to fly But really you're sitting on your couch really deeping life I'm not gonna front and say I'm the role model type But I Really feel it when people say I'm doing everything I can to really try If you sincerely mean it I Bet you can cope with the pressure that comes with the height when you're in the public's eye Take my word for it Straight facts not lies So show me you can't I promise you I can show you that you can Because you know what There's an old saying You hang around the barbershop long enough Sooner or later you will get an haircut So you will catch a break and I did catch a break
