Yeah, yeah
I was born for this
Yeah, yo

Faith without works doesn't work right
Success wasn't handed to me, had to earn mine
Learn from my mistakes by the third try
And some of y'all still judge me by my worst nights
Got the spotlight feeing like a searchlight
But I'm not running from it, this my birthright

Growing up I had a lot of insecurities
I didn't want the world to see
So I hid it perfectly
Smiling externally but inside was hurting me
A dark side was surfacing
That wasn't shown verbally
Had to learn to breathe, woo-sah
Turned up the volume knob on my boombox
Let the music lift me up when my mood dropped
If Gods with me then it doesn't matter who's not
Grew up in the boondocks like I'm Huey Freeman
A smart kid but didn't try, kept confusing teachers
Loosing sleep daydreaming to pursue achievements
Had to keep my mind balanced that's a rule with Libras
Doing deeper research into history
I found they judged your skin tone more than your abilities
Consistency will get you more than waiting for some sympathy
Imma get the victory
My bloodline is filled with kings

Faith without works doesn't work right
Success wasn't handed to me, had to earn mine
Learn from my mistakes by the third try
And some of y'all still judge me by my worst nights
Got the spotlight feeing like a searchlight
But I'm not running from it, this my birthright

Now I'm grown and I've got my own family
Stopped moving randomly
I've got a new strategy
The act that I'm balancing
Is hard but I'm managing
Letting go of vanity
While showing off my majesty
Now y'all are mad at me? That's fine
Every fan has opinions 'bout the stat line
But I know what I'm worth to the franchise
I was born with the adoration of the magi
Had to sacrifice to execute the whole plan
I just want my son to look up to his old man
I don't need y'all to clap, so I don't dance
Back of the end zone, the only time I toe tap
Yeah I know that I'm building up a legacy
Rewriting the narrative
They gave to us for centuries
Inscribing integrity deep within my memory
This is my identity, unapologetically

Faith without works doesn't work right
Success wasn't handed to me, had to earn mine
Learn from my mistakes by the third try
And some of y'all still judge me by my worst nights
Got the spotlight feeing like a searchlight
But I'm not running from it, this my birthright

You're a king baby boy that's your birthright
You're a queen baby girl that's your birthright
