sometimes people look down on me
like a black man who will never make it
but i am just a man and this is me
my future is pretty so let me face it

i know i may be smart but look at my heart
filled with ambition and might
i thought i knew it all but i am ignorant to limitations
and i wont be a poet if there was no invitation

i am only just a man
man enough to challenge all
an infamous writer with no fan
but i wont back down or stop at all

i’ll let nothing get in the way of my greatness
see me sad now but deep down i have happiness
wont stop till i get my standing ovation
this is who i am success’s imitation

so it’s simple,i try to get ahead
so my critics break down and make amends
i love them all but they should see my vision
my intention,because i feel the tension of a good impression

i’ll be lying if i say my mind isn’t exhausted
but who i am and what i do is the same thing
i gave my heart to my passion
my passion isn’t in my heart but with it

so i pray i make those millions off my ambition
but very soon i’ll need no introduction
this is who i am and i do what i can
even if i dont change the world i’ll inspire someone who can.
