Reasons

I never took a short path nowhere All I've ever known was potholes And certain bros that used to sit Around with No care Too scared to ever say we went there But I broke the chains I can show you I got no fear! When I come around Its all bout making impressions Plant a little seed that just might Change your Perception Be all you can be I've heard that since adolescence We need something real That cuts steel And that's pressure Cuz pressure makes diamonds and I'm tryna be clean and flawless Sticking to their script was Something I could Never follow I just had to do my own thing Make my own way Knew that if I ever fell off I'd be ok Now I got a hundred reasons To make sure I make it home Baby's on the way So I'm calling different plays I be feeling so amazed When I know I'm in my zone Time to double up I be feeling like a clone I was led astray So now I get it on my own Tables steady turning Tryna make it hard to thrive But from where I'm standing I can see how Much I've grown I knew I had potential I just needed Reasons why One make sure that my family stay Safe Two make sure they got food on the Plate Three always look for ways I can Improve This my life I ain't got nothin' to lose Four make sure that vision always Pans out Five never try to fit in, I just stand Out Six make sure that your circle is legit Watch for snakes You don't wanna get bit Tell me what's the deal Ima tell you how I feel I'm feeling like the man I just tell it like it is I just hope you understand We got so much shit to live for Tell me what's your reason for Progression In this cold world Cuz I know women right now dealing with Depression I know men right now searching for Direction. Feeling so trapped with no way they Can express it No one cares to listen so it leaves Them feeling helpless It's a large gap between living out our Dreams And hiding all our problems that the World will never see Just remember why you started off in The first Place I know it hurts your heart and breaks You down in the worst ways But I been through some storms Let me guide you to the light Got it own my own I just had to take flight Didn't really matter that no one was In my Corner All that ever did was put a chip up on My shoulder One make sure that my family stay Safe Two make sure they got food on the Plate Three always look for ways I can Improve This my life I ain't got nothin' to lose Four make sure that vision always Pans out Five never try to fit in, I just stand Out Six make sure that your circle is legit Watch for snakes You don't wanna get bit This my reason for living This my reason for giving Never cutting these corners We gotta stick to the mission I just attack with precision No doubt I'm lyrically gifted Before I finish a sentence My next one already written I ain't chasing the fame I'm just speaking my mind If you feel the way I feel That means our stars are aligned If you live the way I live That means your life is a grind Put the pedal to the metal Pretty soon you'll be flyin' We won't stop for a while Gotta keep up the pace We be working night and day They just keep raising the stakes I can spot if you fake The stinch of envy and hate Wasn't there from the jump You see that I'm bout to blow You sit and smile in my face But see I already know We ain't wasting a second You just get kicked to the curb We just get better wit time Like We're extending our prime Let look for reasons for living Instead of reasons to die One make sure that my family stay Safe Two make sure they got food on the Plate Three always look for ways I can Improve This my life I ain't got nothin' to lose Four make sure that vision always Pans out Five never try to fit in I just stand out Six make sure that your circle is legit Watch for snakes You don't wanna get bit
