Destiny And Ambition

Lord, what's my destiny?

Can you help me?

And tell me: will my ambition take me there?

Anything you want

Everything you need

I can give it to you

If you listen to me

Anything you wish

I can grant to be

Come and follow with me

This is your destiny

What do you dream when you asleep at night?

What do you dream when you asleep at night?

(I'm high as a kite)

Wonder why the money's tight and why we bust and fight

I been there, so I know it's rough when you wanna change your life

And no matter what you do, seem like it's never right

Born with a mission, and a heart full of ambition

But it's hard to be all you can be when don't nobody listen

(Daydreamin) Stay schemin and future-wishin

Never got attention till I got my first school suspension

Fool, what's the difference, we all got a path to follow

Pleasure or sorrow, you get another chance tomorrow

Even through struggle, beg, borrow, work or hustle

(Tragedy and trouble) Strive until you rise up out the rubble

(Don't wanna fumble) And you won't if you play it real

The best of me is my destiny when it's fulfilled

And if I fail, will I have the guts to try again

(To make it out before I die in sin) And even then

Anything you want

Everything you need

I can give it to you

If you listen to me

Anything you wish

I can grant to be

Come and follow with me

This is your destiny

If a genie gave you 3 wishes, what would they be?

If a genie gave you 3 wishes, what would they be?

(Health, happiness and money - just for me)?

Or would you wish we'd put the guns down, world peace

Let the blind see and all the starvin people eat

But in reality we faced with greed (and competition)

I do my best to lace my seed, hopin he listen

Jealousy will make you fake friends

Set you up for the wet-you-up

Cause they don't wanna let you up

(Keep a watchful eye for shady Judas)

And home intruders with Mac-11s and Rugers

Ski mask, ready to do ya

As he get older, ambition grows inside a soldier

Chasin narcs on the block with a mouth full of boulders

And though the rollers wanna pull me over (I stay hopin)

With the world on my broad shoulders, hard to be social

Feel peace when releasin ambition through beats and vocals

If they try to bring you down, go local

Anything you want

Everything you need

I can give it to you

If you listen to me

Anything you wish

I can grant to be

Come and follow with me

This is your destiny

If I ever make it to the top...

If I ever make it to the top (then I'll be free)

But if I fall back, tell me, would you remember me?

Or would you ridicule and laugh at Ray and spread rumors

It consumes ya, hate-filled wishes growin like tumors

Stay focussed like my ballin g's, destiny callin me to take it

Oughta be in college, but gambled, think I can make it

Can't be mistakin, no hesitatin, I'm tired of waitin

My frustration growin worse like my situation

(So what you sayin?)

>From this cold-blooded state I'm raised in

Radio stations best get ready for the invasion

Throughout persuasion we touch millions across the nation

And show no fear when we battle the beast we facin

(No limitations) I knock the world up off its axis

Rough as a cactus, we bouncin back like a matress

The fact is, we all on this planet just tryina make it

And leave somethin for future generations

And so we stand

Anything you want

Everything you need

I can give it to you

If you listen to me

Anything you wish

I can grant to be

Come and follow with me

This is your destiny

What do you dream when you asleep at night?

If a genie gave you 3 wishes, what would they be?

If I ever make it to the top, then I'll be free
