It ain't about the cash or stones in the necklace
it's about chasin' a dream and being hopeless and desperate
I gotta make it happen now, get them to notice my presence
because time is of the essence, every moment is precious
so I'll give it all I got when I arrive for a session
never settle for second and always strive for perfection
cause I'm hungry for it all and I'm inspired to get it
cause the world is for the taking and the sky is the limit, yeah
(Verse 1)
Ever since I was a kid I always knew I was different
from my obsession with lyrics to the amount of music I listened
I always gave it my all no matter what booth I would spit in
cause I was just a desperate kid, a strugglin' youth on a mission
I always did it for the music for me it isn't about cash
not your typical kid I would fit in with the outcasts
I love being on stage especially when they applaud me
it's because of that I always keep a pen within arms reach
I love Hip Hop from the beat to the words that they spit out their lips
from second grade till now I haven't gone a day without it since
I have some fans who think that what I'm making's unbelievable
but at times I feel the dream I'm chasing's unachievable
so I'm hoping if I keep writing and keep doing tracks
that I can catch a break and get lucky and squeeze through the cracks
because rap has taken over me and I can hardly sleep without it
and if I finally get to bed then I'll probably be dreamin' bout it
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
I went to a public school where takin' pills and drugs was cool
most the kids were drunken fools, the rest of them were fuckin' tools
so I went to parties with the rest of the white kids
started showin' off my skills and was the best in the cyphers
but I became unproductive and I was loosin' my essence
so I focused and used all my money on studio sessions
I spent most my nights alone to write just tryna get my vocals tight
and just to briefly hold this mic I sacrificed a social life
it was then I decided and knew I wanted to rap forever
but in order to do that I had to get my act together
matured as an artist displaying truth within skills
but people didn't see the passion that my music reveals
even though I pushed myself and put my heart to the challenge
people sleep on me and don't even acknowledge my talent
but if I'm gettin' beat then Imma strive to rebuttal
because I know it's greener on the other side of this struggle, yeah
(Chorus)
It ain't about the cash or stones in the necklace
it's about chasin' a dream and being hopeless and desperate
I gotta make it happen now, get them to notice my presence
because time is of the essence, every moment is precious
so I'll give it all I got when I arrive for a session
never settle for second and always strive for perfection
cause I'm hungry for it all and I'm inspired to get it
cause the world is for the taking and the sky is the limit, yeah
(Verse 3)
There's a lot about myself that I have learned from rappin'
this is more then simply word attachment, it's a burnin' passion
they're quick to judge and say I'm cursing with rage
cause they're too short sighted to see it's more then words on a page
and I wont ever stop until it's me that they wanna make fail
till I'm recievin' death threats and rippin' up hate mail
so I wrote for endless hours, put ridiculous work in
hoping labels would find me through serendipitous searchin'
I went from being isolated, havin' borders restrict me
to dormin' in the city and havin' supporters in Philly
and with God as my witness I'll use the wisdom that he granted me
so if you think you're stoppin' me you're livin' in a fantasy
I can vision my destiny and my reason for being
on top of buildings while overlookin' the city of dreams
I was walkin' against the wind feeling pain in my knees
but now I'm takin' bigger strides and feel a change in the breeze, yeah
(Chorus)
