Intro:

It's been a long ride man

29 years in the making

I never thought I still be here

But The hustle don't stop the struggle don't stop

The journey continues

No matter what, I'ma do what I gotta do to survive

AR. West

Ride wit me

V.1:
Under the full moon, Cruising these city streets/
Knowin this life I'm livin will probably get me deceased/
Yet still I'm chasin redemption, stayin busy every week/
Standing strong against it all cuz ain't no pity for the weak/
Plus victory is sweet, and best believe I'm gettin mine/
Out livin for my dreams, deadly spittin with the rhymes/
Ambitious with the grind, with a vision so divine/
A magician in his prime, doin shit you can't design/
just listen to these lines, ain't no limits to my mind/
Music's why I'm even here, and that's a God given sign/
Swear I seen it for myself, everything I know I am/
Bet they never thought I'd make it, but trust man I know I can/
And that's all I ever needed in this life/
My family, my homeboys, some fresh beats and one mic/
See my belief is sound, that's why ima go the distance/
Representing my town, all the way to the finish/

HOOK:
Just riding, doin what I gotta do for mine/
Determined to find redemption, stayin true with these rhymes/
Still livin on the edge, still hustlin on the grind/
Still hungry for respect, so I put it all on the line/
Just riding, yea, so baby come roll with me/
Just listen inside my heart, Then maybe one day you'll see/
From Peru to Sacramento, its loyalty when I speak/
Visions left from a king, inspiration for the streets/

V.2:
And so the journey continues, anticipating what's next/
Out performing at these venues, believing that I'm the best/
Rappin bout what I been thru, achieving with every breath/
Slicing just like a ginsu, and truth is sure to reflect/
I'm a threat, coming str8 out the west, place ya bets/
To the death, motherfucka, AR. West is in Effect/
On a quest, for success and ima pick up where I left/
Steady grindin' for my dreams and redemption for my arrests/
Paying back all my debts, vindicated from my past/
Still livin on the edge, hoping that I can last/
Plotting my steps methodically, focused on what's at task/
Finna put on for my city, and show em all that i have/
Ain't nothin me holdin back, I'm get it or die tryin/
Selecting my own path, committed spitting these rhymes/
Anxious for what awaits, just watchin the sky line/
Grinnin', sippin some henn, knowing that it's my time/

HOOK:
Just riding, doin what I gotta do for mine/
Determined to find redemption, stayin true with these rhymes/
Still livin on the edge, still hustlin on the grind/
Still hungry for respect, so I put it all on the line/
Just riding, yea, so baby come roll with me/
Just listen inside my heart, Then maybe one day you'll see/
From Peru to Sacramento, its loyalty when I speak/
Visions left from a king, inspiration for the streets/

V.3:
Been a long time coming, and now it's finally complete/
The culmination of rhymes, the next chapter of me/
The product of hope and doom, and all my time on the streets/
My blood, sweat and my tears, that's what it took to release/
Givin all that I got, till I ain't got nothin left/
Still far from being done, this is just another step/
Learning more bout myself, and the man I'm that supposed to be/
A leader in the making, influencin' all over seas/
Touching lives of the hopeless, SHOWIN' em they not alone/
Its the reason why I wrote this, and EVERY one of my songs/
Trying not to lose focus, CONTINUING down this road/
Smokin the most potent, till my MIND totally blown/
Just picture me coastin, watchin the sunset over the ocean/
Top down wind blowing, blaring 2Pac in motion/
Eyes gazing at the city scape, knowin that on any day/
I could be dead, but hey, this called devotion/
And Despite the fact what many say, ima stay hopin/
No longer livin afraid, since the day I been awoken/
Behind the mic, in front of crowds Live/
Spittin deep within my soul, till the date of my demise/
Will I, see u on the other side, I hope so/
But if not, I swear I'll never forget what we both know/
That life is what u make it, and ya choose ya own path/
So when u see me ridin clean, just know that I own that/

HOOK:
Just riding, doin what I gotta do for mine/
Determined to find redemption, stayin true with these rhymes/
Still livin on the edge, still hustlin on the grind/
Still hungry for respect, so I put it all on the line/
Just riding, yea, so baby come roll with me/
Take a peek inside my mind, Then maybe one day you'll see/
From Peru to Sacramento, its loyalty when I speak/
Visions left from a king, inspiration for the streets/

Outro:

Yea

Just try and look through my eyes

See what I see

My pain, my sacrifice

My struggle, My rise

It’s only a matter of time

And best believe

nothings finna stop me

Nothin

Visions of a King

Visions of a King

Just ridin'
