Believe

The illest vibe when the real is around A clear mind be the prize once we figure shit out I continue to rise , now they diggin the style And critics tried but they ain't bringing us down Your very best can be better, that's how you gotta look at yourself So dedicated you would swear it ain't good for my health Still I ain't lookin for help , and ain't a book on the shelves... Could tell the stories that done put me through hell I say I'm good and I'm well Even when I just appear to be And as a youngin what I wanted wasn't clear to me But don't quit even when it's hard to do Just make it harder for them to want it more than you A true homie gon support you through Lowest of lows, focus on growth Never mind holding the thrown Learn to cut em out ya circle if they holding you back 'Cause second guessing never gets you where you supposed to be at Vivid Lyrics, quick to lift your spirit You only fear growin old when you live with limits Listen... Reminiscing in the very beginning Thought I was writing hits, still the recognition was missing Now the reason I admit that I was thinking of quitting Is 'cause I didn't, I just chose a different ending bitch The lesson is... Putting in work ain't that hard when your ethic is that of a perfectionist Making difficult look effortless As far goals go, my list only grows longer keep measuring Embarrassing in comparison Theirs is much shorter than the span of of their attention is I'm mentioning the ones used to pressing skip A couple seconds in, before the track even settle in Relevance Why do everybody long for it What good is the truth if it's not spoken What good is planning for change, and then waiting, as if... A spontaneous change of plans couldn't make it happen Right now But being scared of taking a chance is gunna... Kill your growth before you make an advancement Just to... Find out it's alright to have doubts Those same feelings often found in the brain of a champion We know life ain't a race don't rush, give it time Find the beauty in the journey, while they gush about the finish line And you don't need results for validation The self motivated only battle with patience 'Cause your new ideas, to them... Sound a bit ancient But if they wise enough to know that, and not say it Now that's a true sign of greatness, proof that the mind is sacred Stay on your grind and when it's time you'll make it Learn to... tell the real, from the fakeness Jealousy, envy all that snake shit 'Cause they can show love, even when they don't feel it inside They nothing like my dead homies but they live in disguise A big difference let it sink in your mind Some people rather clip ya wings when u beginning to fly Bet there were some street legends with the rhythm & rhyme That never had a nickel or dime So studios won't give em the time But yo the talent too priceless To just end up Another diamond in the rough tryna balance out this life shit Working minimum wage Pretend the mop in your hand is a microphone, picture a stage It's euphoric, though you know that Deep down you lack the image they crave But tough luck, they ain't feeling your pain Or anything you did before to build up a name The skills that you claim to have, or how you never did it the same Na They just rather hear you get with the wave And rap what's trendy today, long as it's getting you paid Maybe then you get a chance, but the odds looking slim, to none Just sell out if you want to be rich, good luck We've seen greed pull legends to a bottomless pit, they sunk Feelings I was bottling in, get drunk Off my words, we ain't faking the funk Learn to use it as fuel when you ain't making the cut Keep pushing hard for your dream, and if you lost self esteem Remember Jordan got cut from the varsity team Believe
