Success

Hey, hey – you ain’t ever met a man like this

You know you’re rocking with a winner with a plan like this

Independent with his sentences, they told him to stop

And that he’ll never see the benefits of being the to

He never second guessed or settled for second best

He felt the effect of stress and put it right on his chest

He was on a quest – wanted to rock the nation

Infatuated with tracks - that’s his fascination

Back to making of how he’s living his life

From writing at night, going right in front of the mic

And all he wanted was respect and to be best mc

He kept pressing; now the world can see

It took a couple years but after the hard work

And blood, sweat and tears of putting himself first

He finally had a purpose, with no curses

Holding him down and his sound was never worthless

He could be anything that he wanted to be

But people act like it happened so suddenly (yup!)

It’s funny to me because I know it’s hard to make it

If you’re undefeated then you treat it like it’s sacred

He’s not there yet, but it won’t take long

When he hit the pinnacle in a minute he stayed strong

Please put the bass on – uh, can you handle it?

Listen to the message and it’s the better than the scandalous

Here’s your chance, don’t blow it like its cannabis

Because you want to ride in a limo and not an ambulance

I’m a fan of this, life is stressful

If you’re dedicated to make it, you’ll be successful

I’m not going to run away (now)

I’m not going to turn away (now)

I’m at the top looking down; I wish you could see me now

My only question (what’s next?)

Determined to be the best

If you weren't there for me then, you won’t enjoy my success

Everybody wants results in a couple of weeks

You want to see what you can be, you've got to give up sleep

You can go from on the streets to a house by the beach

With the sand in your feet and that’s permanently

I mean, don’t forget your people and your love for the small things

Do it yourself and make it something we can all claim

I admit, the rest can cause stress

But you put it all in check when you get success – woo!

It took a little bit, but it’s ridiculous

Uh, people are throwing fits but can they get it like this?

Chicks blowing kisses, wouldn't want to miss this

Living a dream with everything that’s on his wish list

It’s what he pictured –the world’s now captured and

Everybody saw him take the music and he mastered it

It’s going faster and… he’ll never slow down

He’s got to keep it going because he’s on a roll now

All he wanted out of life was to blow up

And everybody that he knew told him “grow up”

But now he’s doing shows, they all show up

See him hit the microphone, they’re like “hold up”

They’re like, “I knew the kid from back in the day

He’d run around the school and he’d be rapping this way

Huh, it’s too bad we never took him seriously

But he’s serious see, and we can clearly see he’s successful.”

I’m not going to run away (now)

I’m not going to turn away (now)

I’m at the top looking down; I wish you could see me now

My only question (what’s next?)

Determined to be the best

If you weren't there for me then, you won’t enjoy my success

Everybody wants results in a couple of weeks

You want to see what you can be, you've got to give up sleep

You can go from on the streets to a house by the beach

With the sand in your feet and that’s permanently

I mean, don’t forget your people and your love for the small things

Do it yourself and make it something we can all claim

I admit, the rest can cause stress

But you put it all in check when you get success – woo!

I might’ve been the kid that you never thought

Would make it into this world but now I’m proving you wrong

It’s like everywhere I go and everywhere that I stay

People are playing my songs and they’re all screaming my name

Everybody wants results in a couple of weeks

You want to see what you can be, you've got to give up sleep

You can go from on the streets to a house by the beach

With the sand in your feet and that’s permanently

I mean, don’t forget your people and your love for the small things

Do it yourself and make it something we can all claim

I admit, the rest can cause stress

But you put it all in check when you get success – woo!
