Made the decision to cut certain ties, when it became a must that I have to rise; Now the dream's clearer and I will outshine, yes the divine agenda in my master's design; It's family first at every cost, never making the same mistakes of those who lost; some thought I could not make it so I paid them in full, Now I am getting there so tell me who is the fool; whether I live long or die at any time, may my successes prove that I reached my prime; grow too big to associate with your people, it's nothing but the start of a type of evil; Never drag anyone with you when going up, let them come running with you or else you drop; its hard to balance it all in this world we live in, with the hustling everyday you are lucky to be breathing; your friends are too desperate and afraid to wait, do not look up to me cos I can't dictate your fate; I do what I can to disperse everything I have, there are too many of you and I don't know who to starve; They depend on me but I fail sometimes and fall real low cos I am just a man, hell I don't know if the stop sign will be at my doorstep tomorrow and yes all I had was a plan: And when some thought they had it all and rubbed it on my face, I was laughed at and scorned, given everything short of a praise; it didn't matter then and sure as hell don't matter after all these years' except it only matters cos it sparked the fire that led me here; it's very hard to love in a world full of fakes and hate, keep a pure heart or else you break and seize to elevate; Try not to Lord your opinion cos you don't know it all, keep your heart open and know when to build a wall; If we all contribute a little good we could fix this world(1), but what is right or wrong when we all have different gods; become great or die trying(2), leave no stone unturned, resilience is one of the ways that success is earned; better to try and fail than not to try at all, start from something and despise nothing small, and when it comes to deciding to cut ties, may it be a decision made by a wise.

Made the decision to cut certain ties, when it became a must that I have to rise; Now the dream's clearer and I will outshine, yes the divine agenda in my master's design; It's family first at every cost, never making the same mistakes of those who lost; some thought I could not make it so I paid them in full, Now I am getting there so tell me who is the fool; whether I live long or die at any time, may my successes prove that I reached my prime; grow too big to associate with your people, it's nothing but the start of a type of evil; Never drag anyone with you when going up, let them come running with you or else you drop; its hard to balance it all in this world we live in, with the hustling everyday you are lucky to be breathing; your friends are too desperate and afraid to wait, do not look up to me cos I can't dictate your fate; I do what I can to disperse everything I have, there are too many of you and I don't know who to starve; They depend on me but I fail sometimes and fall real low cos I am just a man, hell I don't know if the stop sign will be at my doorstep tomorrow and yes all I had was a plan: And when some thought they had it all and rubbed it on my face, I was laughed at and scorned, given everything short of a praise; it didn't matter then and sure as hell don't matter after all these years' except it only matters cos it sparked the fire that led me here; it's very hard to love in a world full of fakes and hate, keep a pure heart or else you break and seize to elevate; Try not to Lord your opinion cos you don't know it all, keep your heart open and know when to build a wall; If we all contribute a little good we could fix this world(1), but what is right or wrong when we all have different gods; become great or die trying(2), leave no stone unturned, resilience is one of the ways that success is earned; better to try and fail than not to try at all, start from something and despise nothing small, and when it comes to deciding to cut ties, may it be a decision made by a wise.
