Believe (feat. Justin Timberlake)

You know I still believe, still believe in you and me

'Cause every night I go to sleep, go to sleep

I can see it like a movie in my dreams

Put my face in the dirt on the ground

Still I race off to take back the crown, yes

You can break my body

But you can't lock the soul of a man down

Follow your dreams not your addictions

How we gon' follow our dreams locked in a prison?

They tried to swollow me whole, God be my witness

Deprive me outta my dreams but I'm relentless

I'm with the money ain't never want attention

So I don't pay attention to comments and all the mentions

'Cause they ain't see my vision

I was washin' dishes, turn my rags into riches

Glad when it was Christmas

We ain't even barely at your presence but we was gifted

In a school of failure, we present, perfect attendence

Welfare, baby, we workin' with what they give us

Made me some commas, judge still gave me a sentence

No period, city girls don't get scared

When this really real, when your bank account

Twenty mill' on your house up on the hill and your fam

And the driveway you walk out

And see the grill thing, thank God

You believe, make sure you pray when you kneel, yeah

You know I still believe, still believe in you and me

'Cause every night I go to sleep, go to sleep

I can see it like a movie in my dreams

Put my face in the dirt on the ground

Still I race off to take back the crown, yes

You can break my body

But you can't lock the soul of a man down

Yeah, uh

My bank account, it was on super-zero

Ain't never panic, I'm a superhero, uh

Target my goals and I'ma shoot the arrow

When God turned the heat up on me, he said, you Di Nero

Play your part, got some brains like the scarecrow

Let's play it smart, 'cause we ain't playin' checkers

This is chess, play your pawns

Sit back like a king, when they move, make your mark

And never ever let your competition take your heart (take your heart)

Say I believe in myself

When everybody stop believin', never leave on yourself

They had my back against the wall, I had to lean on myself

Almost made me put my dreams on the shelf, I'm trippin' (I'm trippin')

The laws of attraction, you just think I'm rappin'

I'm just puttin' out the energy so I can grab it

Everything that's in my memory that I imagined

It's finally here, hundred million in a year

I still believe, still believe in you and me

'Cause every night I go to sleep, go to sleep

I can see it like a movie in my dreams

Put my face in the dirt on the ground

Still I race off to take back the crown, yes

You can break my body

But you can't lock the soul of a man down

As I lay (as I lay) me down to sleep (down to sleep)

Pray the Lord (pray) my soul to keep (soul to keep)

Fallen ones (fallen ones), rest in peace (R.I.P.)

Please, God, watch over me (watch over me)

As I lay (as I lay) me down to sleep (down to sleep)

Pray the Lord (pray) my soul to keep (my soul to keep)

Fallen ones (fallen ones), rest in peace (R.I.P.)

Please, God, watch over me
