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
