Intro:

Yea

It’s this journey called life man

Full of politics and bullshit

Highs and lows

Dreams and reality

All in a race against time

And against it all

Ima just do me

A legend in my own skin


V.1:
Chronic smoke in my lungs, sippin liquor gettin drunk/
Kickin it, spittin game so bitches is down to fuck/
Plus the grind for mo money, is a never ending rush/
Despite the root of all evil, I can never have enough/
Especially as a Latino, with dreams of livin plush/
So fuck being a wage slave, fuck being in cuffs/
I ain't felt this under pressure, since I was sellin drugs/
Knowin' the good die young, and the devil is out for blood/
Yup, every morning my mind stormin on ways to succeed/
But shit the way the world revolves, is just so krazy to me/
And to b honest, I been goin thru the most/
Almost drowning from depression, still i b stayin afloat/
Never lettin go of hope, as I continue my journey on/
Puttin my pain in what I write, my struggle heard in every song/
Caught up in the fast life, tryna get my act right/
And Not to be dramatic, But 2nite could b my last night/
Uh

HOOK:
Livin at high speeds, hopin I don't crash/
Smokin on bomb weed, hustlin for mo cash/
See life's a journey, and u never know where it take you/
All about decisions, for real, so what say you?/

V.2:
(Ya) See the hustle don't stop, just like the struggle don't stop/
That's why I'm out here tryna score, before the buzzer go off/
Learning from my lessons, tryna find the right direction/
And tho life ain't fair, I know my life is a blessing/
All about progression, steady one day at a time/
See me comin up from under, always stayin on the grind/
Im, too determined to ever lay down and quit/
I see the game done changed, but trust I ain't about to switch/
Unlike (most) these other rappers who clearly ain't about shit/
I spit that realness so peep what the sound is/
Underground shit, hip hop that's boundless/
Movin mountains, writing songs in the thousands/
Reppin Town shit, Crowds loving the loudness/
Breaking barriers, territory unfounded/
Got dreams to ahieve, And best believe I'm bout it/
And tho haters gone doubt, ain't no doubt about it/

HOOK:
Livin at high speeds, hopin I don't crash/
Smokin on bomb weed, hustlin for mo cash/
See life's a journey, and u never know where it take you/
All about decisions, for real, so what say you?/

V.3:
Swear this life ain't for the weak, it ain't everything it seems/
Most don't even realize, the dedication you need/
From hours writing verses, to everyday rehearsing/
Pushin tickets for shows, plus sellin cds/
This ain't no hobbie man, this is my destiny/
And trust I ain't gone stop, or let the devil get the best of me/
Especially when fightin, my ambition is my weaponry/
Spitting with a passion, till there ain't no breath left in me/
And that's a fact, I'm comin back for Sac/
Wearin my Kings jersey, witta Black hat to match/
Live rockin the stage, gettin cash for raps/
But it's more than just that, I'm paying back my mom and dad/
Yea So fuck fame, in a game that fake as fuck/
Just collecting my respect, doin the only thang I love/
Rappin for my people, and puttin on 4 where I came from/
Stayin true 2 my roots, and I been doin it since day one/

HOOK:
Livin at high speeds, hopin I don't crash/
Smokin on bomb weed, hustlin for mo cash/
See life's a journey, and u never know where it take you/
All about decisions/drive, for real, so what say you?/

Outro:
Yea

What say you?

This game ain’t for the weak man

This life ain’t for the faint of heart

If you want it, ya gotta go get it

That’s what I plan to do

Ain’t no lookin back this time

It’s all high speeds from here

I can hear it now

The crowd so loud

(CHANTS)

That’s right man

One day ima make it happen

Visions of a King

Haha

Just another day in the life

Still got a long way to go

But I’m keep grinding

Yea

ima keep grinding
