My past molded me into who I am
Like a clam that made a pearl with just a grain of sand
It took years to curve my edges
Like the water in a river, eroding the rocks over ages
I've traveled dark roads that have broke me
Walking in darkness, not being able to see
I've felt love and lost it
Lost sight of who I was and thought I should quit
A sinner from the first day of birth
The pain from my past still hurts
And though I'm not perfect
I'm just trying to get life correct
Still not a saint but success is my new project
And the ones with me I'll never neglect
From growing up with nothing
I'm a give them everything
My day 1s know I'll ride for them
Our lives are going to be better from what we had back then
There is nothing that can stop me
I got tunnel vision and success is all I see
Free my family from poverty
Free my friends from authority
Free myself from ornery
The future isn't ready for the new me
