I've been workin' like I've never I every day but I just can't let the devil in And if I knew then what I know right now What I right now I'd be better than I've ever been, better than I've ever
You ever wonder it all really means? Heart full of dreams, I know do it, get it by any means Serving food for the thought it's rock to the fiends I this shit for years boy, this life ain't what it seems Sayin' that you just solidifies that you never will you would, said you could, but you ain't got the skill You gotta the highest mountain to master the hill You gotta climb over your ego to your will Gave up on your dreams for a and a pension God damn, I hope you're for the intervention You say you would if you had the money, don't me mention That cost you nothin' but time for you to pay attention Now don't get me wrong, I know there's people out hatin' on ya And it feel your self-esteem is breakin' on ya All they seem to do is hate when you speak They spend days preyin' on the weak I know the world on ya like a sedative Talk all you want about me homie, let it live this, hater that, say I sound repetitive Hatin' in your blood, you was born to be
