Don't wait for your dreams, if u want it gotta take it/

V.1:
I think about it often, every single day/
Why and I am still here? And why am I still in pain?/
Is it cuz I'm addicted? Or cuz I'm ill in the brain?/
Frustrated with hatred, stuck feelin this rage/
Damn, what can i do to change shit?/
Tryna shine through the darkness, that's why I always stay lit/
Stressin losin sleep, paying dues like every week/
In the depths of solitude, sippin brews n smoking weed/
Influenced by the streets, u can hear it when I speak/
From trials and tribulations, to all my peers deceased/
I'm thankful, thankful for every second I breathe/
And tho I know I probably die young, I just gotta succeed/
Writing what's on my mind, then reciting over a beat/
Recordin my legacy, so I'll have something for when I leave/
Hoping my kids hear it, so they know that they dad fearless/
And So when I'm dead, My music can strengthen they perseverance/
Givin everything I have, but still will it be enough?/
Guess only time will tell, tho I feel it in my gut/
Livin for my dreams, nobody thinks I can achieve/
But despite the skepticism, l continue 2 believe/
So with every single rhyme, Ima rise 4 those who've fallen/
Dedicated for life, to these raps I put my all in/
Swear Hip hop is my calling, and I'ma answer it proud/
Serving poetic justice, (& I'm) Never standing down!/

V.2:
Staring at the world through my rear view, at 26 I reminisce/
And wonder how the years flew, thinkin of all the bullshit a playa had to Steer thru/
Pitfalls of the drug game, livin life the thug way/
Lookin out for me, (echo)when nobody was there to/
That's what made me who i am, learning lessons from the streets/
Raised in a ruthless land, doin what I can to (move grams)be a man/
Lost and isolated, tryna find a way to make it/
An invisible introvert, writing pages in the basement/
Speaking what I live and see, expressions of my misery/
Searching for life's answers, a cure for this cancer/
Scarred from all my years without thinking out my plans first/
Shiiit was only 16, when I first hit the scene/
Ditching school to run the streets, pushin work to fiends/
Gettin money, puffin weed, fuck the football team/
I knew it all, or at least I thought I did/
Till the money blinded me, and had me dealin wit snitch/
Left me at rock bottom, damn near rob me of my goals/
But thankfully I found a way to dig myself outta that hole/
Still tryna make amends, steady fightin with my pen/
On a mission to go places that I never I ever been/
See my journey never ends, and this is just the beginning/
Spitting redemption songs, as all apart of my vision/
Knowin music can heal, all u have to do listen /

V.3:
I swear this world krazy, that's why I'm goin insane/
Contemplating suicide in ways I can't even explain/
But then I hear the beat, and listen to how it speaks to my soul/
Moments of clarity, as my reflection staring me/
In my eyes, realizing that u reap what you sow/
Inside feelin terribly, knowin I can't bare to see/
the day that all my loved ones go/
(Damn)Lost in this pain, I just pray I discover hope/
So that's why I stay writing, and fighting with every breath/
Str8 Exhausted from this life, tryna get ready for death/
But I pray it ain't soon, even tho I feel I'm doomed sometimes/
Smokin blunts, watchin the moon, till sunrise/
Just thinkin bout where I'm at, and where I wanna be at/
Up late nite, every night cuz I'm an insomniac/
Waking up next morning, tryna b Better than yesterday/
Persevering through my fears, prayin there's better days/
Waitin to get away and maybe find me some happiness/
Maybe start me a family, although it's hard to imagine it/
I just hope that I'm ready, for whatever lies ahead of me/
And if it's up to me, ima choose my own destiny/
Achieving all my dreams, livin life just like a king/
Out on yachts and private jets, celebrating with my team/
Coming up from barely nothin, struggling as a human being/
Taking care of my momma, making sure she's proud of me/
