(verse)
take a step back and ponder on your decisions
ya life is made but you really tryna risk it
fuck all the guns, the drugs, focus ya vision
bible verses tatted on ya body but you wanna-be sinnin’
livin’ fast, crashin’ quick, no intermission
caught up in the hype, blinded by the glisten
but where’s it gonna get you, six feet under?
mama cryin’ at the service, you ain’t hear the thunder?
you chasing paper, but it’s cursed with the pain
dollars in your hand, but your soul in chains
while they flexin’ on the 'gram, losing all they sense
i’d rather build a legacy, fuck a short expense
stay true to the grind, fuck the street dreams
the block is hot but the future’s where the light beams
keep your circle tight, loyalty’s the rarest gold
forget the bullshit, let your real story unfold
(chorus)
dream big, stay clean, let your mind shine
don’t let the bullshit ever steal your prime
you got the power to rewrite your fate
no more violence, no more hate, elevate
dream big, stay clean, let your mind shine
don’t let the bullshit ever steal your prime
you got the power to rewrite your fate
no more violence, no more hate, elevate
(verse)
they glorify the hustle, but at what cost?
friends turn to foes, in the game, they get lost
but we can rise above, break the cycle, break the curse
came from the bottom, time to put in work, reverse
the system got us trapped, but we ain’t no pawns
we all kings and queens, destined to move beyond
society’s chains tryna keep us in the dark
but we spark revolutions with every single mark
remember the legends, 'cause they ain’t die for nothing
Malcolm, Martin, Pac, they ain’t go out bluffin’
they had a vision, but it’s ours to complete
so fuck the negativity, rise up from the street
they want us divided, lost in the pain
but we got the strength to weather the rain
so chase your dreams, let the bullshit fade
you’re the master of your destiny, don’t be afraid
(chorus)
dream big, stay clean, let your mind shine
don’t let the bullshit ever steal your prime
you got the power to rewrite your fate
no more violence, no more hate, elevate
dream big, stay clean, let your mind shine
don’t let the bullshit ever steal your prime
you got the power to rewrite your fate
no more violence, no more hate, elevate
(bridge?)
we living in a world where they prey on our fall
but stand tall, homie, you can break down the wall
you got the heart, you got the fire within
so rise up, rise up, let the real story begin
(outro)
no more wastin’ time on the streets, no more lies
see the truth in the mirror, it’s you who gotta rise
from the ashes of the past, to a future so bright
forget the guns and the drugs, chase the light
*(best thing i've ever written or what? holy moly)*
